MySpace - A little scary!
I resisted the peer pressure to get an account. But, in effort to support Suddyn (a hot new band that will be insanely successful, check them out at www.suddyn.com), I signed myself up for an account. I had heard a lot about myspace, mainly from some friends that have "met" some ladies and "had dinner" with them.
Supposedly it is a great "Networking Tool" - yeah if you want to be a porn star. Why do so many people have glamour shots of themselves in outfits that are best left unpurchased at Fredrick’s of Hollywood? I don't get it. It is a glorified personal ad where you can post pictures of yourself (either current or not) and invite people to be your "friend". It has made online dating acceptable for people that thought eHarmony and Match.com were lame. It is open game for people to cyber-scam (in the way a guy/girl scams on a person at a bar). Case in point - Milton got an email from a girl who thought it would fun it they "exchanged some e-mails" and got to know each other a little better. HELLO.... his profile says married!!! YUCK!
I apologize to anyone I have offended by my rant. If I am wrong and you have honestly met someone (not for romantic reasons) that has turned into a friendship please let me know. I still don't buy it. I would love to meet some nice girls to hang with on the west coast, but I highly doubt it wouldn’t be weird if I went trolling for them on myspace!....Am I wrong?

Sadly, I think that in this day and age it's a lot harder to make friends in the real world and that the internet can help. A female, married pal of mine down in Nashville has actually made some strictly platonic friends via myspace, so it can be done. And I've recently met some other mom's via the internet using a site called meetup.com.
Very cool. I am glad to hear there are people using it for reasons other than hooking up! I may check out meetup.com too. Thanks!
