I got burned out on my space after 60 days! Are you burned out on it yet?

**Ckrismoney** · Oct 27th, 2007, 7:12 pm

Let's make this a poll!

Are you tired of my space yet?

If you are, :sad-h: why?

If you are not, :grin: what keeps you interested?

**grim** · Oct 27th, 2007, 7:14 pm

Err I don't ever use it so I guess I am not tired of it, but I am not interested either

**Big Dan** · Oct 27th, 2007, 7:20 pm

Not interested. The level of tween stupidity never ceases to amaze me. Then you got more spam than my email inbox which is sad but it's gotten better recently. The open platform of allowing anything to be posted on profiles makes things look like crap and sometimes crash browsers.. Yeah lets autostart 6 music video on page load... You're an idiot here's your sign.

Then not to mention all those profile creators that put links and graphics in the profiles.. it's a huge clusterfunk.

I only talk to a couple of friends on there and have hooked up with some ex-school mates which is cool.

Other than that, it's useless, IMHO.

I'm still interested because of the old friends that I have been able to reconnect with through myspace. I have found several old high school and college friends because of myspace. And I can keep tabs on what my niece and nephew are up to! :rolleyes-h:

**dgridley** · Oct 27th, 2007, 10:19 pm

I have a MySpace account to connect to those already on it, but prefer using Yuwie.. much more active IMO.

**JaneM** · Oct 28th, 2007, 9:13 am

Yes I guess I prefer that other social networking site.

**timsdd** · Oct 28th, 2007, 9:26 am

prior to discovering DP and then later WTF I was all over it! Today I am lucky if I log in every other day!

**videobroker** · Nov 7th, 2007, 6:34 pm

To market on my space you need to appeal to the brain dead, use lots of pink colors, animated gifs, teen music and look very young. There is a guy who successfully markets on there and he plays the part. If you're a marketer over 30, you're out of your league there.

MySpace traffic is deceiving. I have seen people making claims about 'millions of users' on myspace. Sure. But most are commatose when it comes to making money for you. Check out their biz forum. It sucks.

100-200 posts tops. Everything you post is considered spam and people don't reply to topics. You have better luck with Groups once you get a few thousand subscribers but they're volatile. In the beginning, yes, Myspace was able to provide a ROI for your time spent there. Profiles created with bots or profiles that do a lot of bulletins and emailing end up getting deleted. For marketers, myspace is not what it's cracked up to be 'anymore..."

Some of my friends still generate a bit of income through pop ups and lead capture. Viral videos that "stick" with teens can get your traffic but they don't buy anything. I've had better luck with plugs from TMZ.com

Although i use it, Im over it

So much crap gets posted on myspace, people never act themselves.

Myspace creates trouble with a loved ones from random girls/guys commenting etc.

To many people spell words with numbers (La7in0 L0v3 4 You) or replace 's' with 'z' and even adding a z on words like (love = luvz, Whatever = Whatevz)

soo annoying, The world consists of humans acting like sheep, hardly anyone is an individual anymore and now this annoying trend is on the internet.

Yay for the 21st century. i woulda loved to grow up in the 70's - 80's

lol

yeah myspace is gay

**Cyberbite** · Nov 8th, 2007, 6:19 am

...IF you can figure out how to get thousands of 'friends' with out geting your account deleted!!! It's hard to pretend to be a HOT chick and keep your account!!! :twisted:

I gave up LONG ago and went over to Craigs List, and then gave up being a chick there!!! :twisted:

**shahab6** · Jan 29th, 2008, 4:51 pm

I got tired of it long time ago, it's cool because you meet all your old friends, and you leave comments to them.

Oh I remember awhile ago you had that thread on earnersforums where you experimented with using fake myspace profiles.

**Autumn** · Jan 30th, 2008, 1:09 pm

I get burned out each time I have a need to look at someone's site

Painful experience!

It's way too ad supported now and they're constantly making it harder for mobile users to browse their site with ease.

So you replaced one ton of crap with a different ton of crap? :stongue:

**Gavin Miller** · Jan 31st, 2008, 11:58 pm

I can't handle the ugly layouts, the over-crowded text.. the entire thing gives me a headache. Then again, Facebook is starting to look that way to me as well lately.

**Steve** · Feb 1st, 2008, 1:50 am

myspace has become nothing but spam and the company cant hire enough moderators to control it.

plus facebook will be taking out myspace in a few years so try to get into that before its really to late.

edit: also yahoo mash is a new and up coming social site. its coming out of beta this year (so i hear) and will be a heavy hitter soon.

That would be $12/hour more than what I am making now!! :sshocked:

**Ned** · Feb 2nd, 2008, 9:08 pm

12/hour ain't that bad for unskilled work

**tsdesigns** · Feb 7th, 2008, 2:18 pm

Nope, I make some money from it so I doubt i'll get tired of it anytime soon.

**Ned** · Feb 12th, 2008, 2:19 pm

Myspace is a cash machine if you know what to do. I recommend using adsense with myspace.

**neds75** · Feb 15th, 2008, 4:46 am

Well, why you should be tired of myspace, you can meet new and interesting people there.
off course, that all we expect some new features on myspace, maybe more advanced myspace layout classes with bigger flexibility, but generally it is ok.
