Waste of MySpace

Right. I'm totally bored of MySpace, now. The new friends have dried up (due mostly to my policy of only inviting people I've actually met - or at a stretch friends of friends - rather than every band and tv programme I happen to like), and there's not really much else to do, is there?

The delicious, three-sexes-on-half-a-stick Olivia Shean told me that MySpace is Facebook for children. While I agree that MySpace seems to only really work as a playground for 15 year olds, Facebook is a lot less user-friendly and flexible. Still, it looks like I'll be on that now, until my new friends dry up there too. After that, I suppose I'll be back to old-fashioned meat-world social networking.

Goodbyeee....

Okay, so I've got a few MySpace friends now. The question is, is it considered normal to invite people whom you've never met (or met once years ago), just because they're a friend of a friend?

For instance, I just managed to get my good ol' boy Big Ben Hirons on my Friends list, and I'd quite like to add his girlf and sister, even though I've never met the former, and met the latter once in 1999 when she was a kid. Even if we don't get chatting, I can at least have a couple more friends on my list so it doesn't look so bare.

But is this a weird thing to do? In the MySpace community, is there a derogatory term for this, like 'friend-dredging' or something even wittier? Or is it the norm in what is, after all, just a huge social and self-promotion network? Also, should I send them an accompanying message explaining who I am, or just let them check out my site and spot our mutual friend?

Perhaps the lamest thing I could do is post on a blog that noone is EVER going to read.

Oops.

Gotta catch 'em all!

So, I finally sorted Dan Marshall's myspace site out, and have added him as my friend! I now have FOUR WHOLE FRIENDS! And if you count Mr Joshua as 4ish people, nearly all of whom I've actually met in real life, that makes it SEVEN FRIENDS! This is like Pokemon!

Dan Marshall within my sights

Oh my god! I finally got Dan to check his hotmail account for his myspace registration email and he found it and we got on his page and decided on his url even though it took for ages because the myspace server was 'too busy' and now it's sorted and in 24 hours I'll be able to add him as my friend! Oh my god!

Watch this myspace!

The elusive Marshall, and a cake trail

Well, apparently Dan has no idea what his myspace page address is. Feel free to search for it, and let me know when you find it, industrious readers.

In other news, I now have a new blog, as there's just not enough space in this one to contain all the stuff I want to post about.

Ha ha! I'm joking, of course. I'll probably update that blog even less than this one. But I had to set it up so I could satirise shit Match-3 game CakeMania on the Cake Maniacs blog. I'll probably have to do a post on it about Jenny Brocklehurst though, once she finds out about it...

Today I added my third ever friend - Jenny Brocklehurst! The young beauty hails from Manchester, and is a soon-to-be-doctor already on the property ladder. A sound investment for any aspiring gentleman - and she's a peach, too.

Next on my list: genius games-programmer Dan Marshall...
