Three Things Daley #30
Written by keira on December 29th, 2009…By request*: Things that should be set on fire
1. MySpace. Crappy interface, crappy layout, crappy load-time, crappety crap crap. It’s so laden with crap I don’t know how it ever took off. Burn, muthaf*cka, burn.
2. Don’t Forget the Lyrics. Have I told you lately… how much I hate this show? Let’s warm our hearths next winter by a bonfire of these tapes.
3. Sparkler powder. Er, don’t try this at home or whatever. Still, I have fond memories of watching that magnesium glow. Sure, it’s as bright as the sun and may send you blind watching it but, meh, it’s cool. Whoosh!
*Remember, every 10th TTD will be by request! Leave your request below…

I like MySpace, shame not many people use it nowadays, Being an ex artist I like how you are free to change the appearance. (Try Karnivool’s page). Facebook is plain white and unchangeable. Twitter is somewhat changeable but no one actually goes to your home page so no one ever sees your work.
MySpace is actually far superior to the others. It was designed for people who couldn’t afford a web site to be able to promote themselves. There is only a few categories, ie comedy and music, and gigs go into a localised gig guide so they can be found easily. Bands are still discovered on MySpace.
Facebook was designed to keep friends in touch so it can’t promote to the general public, even though it appears it can, just try a general search for an open event, and is overly complicated.
Twitter is good at hearing about news events quickly but 99% of the tweets are superfluous, or incomprehensible, or not relatable, or just gets lost on the system.
