Not sure about the other frequent users of LockerGnome.com but I’m a fairly consistent user of MySpace. Why? Well, other than instant messengers (mostly MSN) it’s generally just a place to share photos, post events about whats going on in your life or others and let the world know how your feeling I guess. It’s a cool way to keep updated on your friends but i’ve come across something that’s really hit the nerve for me, and worse than a splitting headache.

Whoring. If you know what i’m talking about already, then seriously… save yourself the hassle of reading this almost miniature rant.

Well, what the fuck is whoring? Ok.. well this is as much as I know it as.. It’s basically a way of attracting people to your myspace profile in order to gain more friend requests and simply gain stupid amount of friends (most of which you probably never have and will meet/met.) I don’t really understand why people do it but that’s not what frustrates me the most.

What really gets to me is that I get people flooding my bulletin board full of “whore trains” asking me to add all these people I have just never met. It’s so fecking frustrating, especially when you want to see all the important ones from the friends you actually see on a daily basis.

What’s even funnier is that Tom (lead developer I suppose, of myspace) has enforced all these extensive privacy options that allow you to cut out comments from spam bots promoting websites (that apparently give you the oppurtunity to gain iPods & other gadgets for free) but yet it seems like he has yet another hurdle to jump in that category since i’m getting mindless kids spamming my bulletin inbox.

I guess the quick solution to that was simply to delete every friend that I didn’t know from behind the monitor but then it makes it pointless to even add them in the first place.

It also makes it funny too because it was only about a year ago that tech magazines notified us of a brand new type of spyware spreading onto most domestic machines worldwide consequently making them “zombie bots” (basically means that the infected machines did the hard work for Advertising Companies) but with these “whorers” it’s an entirely different story… its actually a human copy and pasting these lame messages over bulletins.

Myspace. A place for friends, not kids with too much time on their hands.
