Myspace, Facebook and the like, Who needs them?
April 13th, 2008 | by Walter |Having a MySpace and FaceBook account seemed like a must having moved from my native Detroit to middle of nowhere Wisconsin. I would want to keep in touch with my friends and family, right?
Well, it turns out, they don’t keep in touch with me, so why bother? I get bulletins about their new pants or how their dog took a shit on the rug and how much that sucks and how they have to clean it up now and boy that blows… what ever.
Having a FaceBook account means that every minute and a half, you need to install some piece of crap, poorly coded (yes, I can say that, cause I know what good code looks like), got-to-have addon. Well, that’s not my style, sorry. I don’t need some fancy state-of-the-art shit to rate how good your teeth look in your ten year old picture. I just want to say hi.
MySpace? Wow, where do I begin. First, get a new server. The one you’re on either sucks… A LOT… or cannot handle the traffic you’re throwing at it. Sorry, Tom, that Pentium 1 from ‘95 in your mom’s basement ain’t cutting it anymore. So #1 either the server just plain blows or #2 the programmer in charge of that train-wreck needs to come clean and admit his resume is made-up. A site should not crash and not respond that much. Have Google buy you out, get some updated hardware and hire some programmers that know what they’re doing. Now the ADS… holy shit. I’ve never seen that many ads in my life. I couldn’t tell where my profile editing space ended and another ad began. Does MySpace really need that many ads in so many stupid-ass places? They’re placed strategically so that if your mouse is just a bit misplaced, you’ve clicked one whether you wanted to or not. MySpace team, in closing, just get a clue already.
So in closing… friends don’t keep in touch, so why should I? Need to get a hold of me? Open a phone book and look me up if you still remember my name.
Kiss my ass.
