MySpace lays off hundreds
The social networking thing is cool and I totally get the point of it but honestly it bores me. I only check my myspace account about once/month. Yeah I know...what's the point in having it then? At this point I don't have any idea. lol I started my page around the end of 2007. If they would have paid me a $1 for every time I checked it back then, I'd be rich bitch (toots the horn).....well at least well off. lol The novelty of it all wore off on me fairly quickly. I remember one of my friends asking me (probably a year after I created my account) why hadn't I responded to their myspace message. My response: Don't you have my phone number? lol I'm such a smart ass.
Now I do have one for Ning only because my sister set up a page for us for our family reunion this summer. Ask me the last time I was on it? When ARGal you ask? When I set up the account. lol
I've gotten several requests via email for me to setup a facebook account/page/whatever. Now I've been told it's totally different from myspace...much better, yada yada yada. I have no doubt they are correct. Who knows, maybe I will be persuaded enough to start one eventually but for now......no dice. And don't even ask me about twitter.....ain't.gonna.happen. lol
Maybe I should go check my myspace page now to help save a job.

I'm not surprised at Myspace laying off workers. They fell off once Facebook came on scene.
When I first got on Myspace, I was checking my page very often. But once I found alot of people I knew, caught with what's going on in their lives, the novelty wore off. FB hasn't yet b/c it's different.
As you already know, I'm a twithead! lol
I haven't checked my Myspace page in over a year. It never really interested me then. I guess I never really got the point. I have a facebook page and check that thing like once every two or three weeks. I try to get into it, but it doesn't do it for me. And forget about twitter. My life just isn't that interesting to be broadcasting about it.
lol @ twithead.
Tasha I see we are I2I regarding this thing called social networking. lol
I never did check my myspace account that day. lol
Seems like all of the social media networks end up jumping the shark and it seems to happen a lot sooner now. I don't really see what's so fun about them then again most of my friends aren't really into them and I don't care to fawn over celebrities who probably have little if anything to do with their pages on said sites. Get a screwdriver because I'm screwed, I guess.
