I love MySpace! I have complaints about it (besides the predator issue), like some people don't know what bulletins are for, posting what I call "junk" frequently; stuff like "Repost this message and you'll get 16,000 friends!" and poems. Poems are nice, but I think blogs are better places for them, and people can subscribe to your blog if they're interested in your poems. Bulletins are really for announcements and such. And some people post the same stuff day after day after day, like stuff they have for sale, projects they want to share with you, etc., and really, they could just post once, or at least once in a while, rather than filling up bulletin space with repetitive messages.

But I want to say there's good stuff there, too. You can network, which is great for those in business, writers, artists, etc., and find friends with the same interests. I don't get "weirdos" contacting me much. I've met some wonderful people. There are groups, blogs, bulletins, friends, classifieds, music, videos, films, mail, a forum, and more.

I really don't think you should judge MySpace without trying it out for yourself. You can make your profile private, btw.
