I will stand here and admit (well, I'm actually sitting but that seems inconsequential at this point) that I was taken in by the MySpace phenomenon. Seems like such a long time ago, doesn't it? With the arrival and surging popularity of Facebook, the former seems obsolete and uncool. I always maintained that I only signed up to those social networking sites in order to remain in easy contact with friends, not to branch out and aquire new ones. Sadly, when it came to MySpace I was suckered in. I would spend time wondering what layout would look good, what to call myself, which pictures to upload or who would be in my Top 8. So sad. I began to see the error of my ways as Facebook came along. This site had more of my friends on it, and needed much less effort to maintain, so I jumped ship - so to speak.
MySpace had become totally irrelevant. If I wanted to contact any friends online all of my MySpace friends had Facebook accounts. What was the use of maintaining it? I did have one reason. The blog. MySpace gave me somewhere to get my thoughts out into the open. Even though I suspect nobody really read them it was a great way for me to express myself. It didn't really matter if anyone read them. I was not doing it to become MySpace's next top blogger.
After a while I merely gave up and got rid of the account. Didn't seem to make too much of a difference initially. It was one less thing to think about. I did however, begin to miss having a space in which to post my thoughts. The Notes on Facebook were certainly not the place to do it. So here I am. None of that Top Friends nonsense, photographs that no one cares about or leaving comments for people. Just a space for me to get some thoughts written down.
People are more than welcome to read these posts, but if not, I will not be upset.
