4 out of 28K, now bad at all. If you are new to MySpace, you need to make sure you have a firewall or good security software, because Flash and other scripts can infect your computer or compromise your computer.
You bring up a good point, but that could be said for a lot places on this "internet". Warez sites are the safest places Myspace has filtered out quite a bit of stuff but you'll still find some screwy thing like my personal fav where profiles will redirect to some pornhoe site. Barely legal indeed...
MySpace is neither waste of time nor spam. Its an online community to meet new people and make friends just like Orkut or Hi5 or names database. And its gonna last very long, may be not as popular as it is right now. Its very popular among US teens. Thats why few Webmasters are abusing it by spaming. There is nothing to blame on MySpace, Blame those Webmasters *Cough**Cough*
I put up a profile just for promotional purposes. I don't get the big deal about it. I doubt that would care even if I were the targeted teeny-bopper demographic.
Actually I've 'met' a lot of nice people, which is great for me being a stay at home Dad. Any idea what the average age is? Probably hard to tell for sure since a lot of people don't give their real name, age, hair color, etc. I always get a few interesting responses to friend requests in that I am usually a lot older than some of the 'kids'. Hey, just b/c I'm 34 doesn't mean I want to invite you to my 'Neverland'!!
my space is a place for pervs to hit on kids. or its a place for kids to say nothing to a lot of people they dont know or care about. either, or both. i'm not sure sometimes.
They also love to go on there to show off pics, girls show pics of themselves, and guys shows pics of themselves with hot girls.
