I could be mistaken, but in the things I've seen, it's much more of a problem than it is helpful.
Has anyone else seen this? I could be awfully mistaken, but it seems like 'The Real World,' which from my point of view is a HORRIBLE representation of the real world, but bigger and younger. |
Sounds like a broad generalization based on the emo stigma attached to it. It's quite easy to avoid those kind of people the way you do in real life. The biggest plus to myspace is its ridiculous ubiquity. Everyone has a myspace, so the chances of finding old friends and keeping in contact with people is high. There are also a lot of good people on there, but you have to look for them, just as you would in real life.
Who says its representing the real world, outside of you?
Myspace is aproblem, in the same way as videogames are a problem. Meaning, its NOT a problem. The problem stems from themselves and not the site.
If you wanted to make a real case against myspace, you should talk about the bombardment of advertising and promotion from 3rd parties...its almost as bad as television.
