Myspace

Bombadillo · 04-06-2006, 10:12 PM

Anybody? Anybody?

This is one of those multi-purose threads, generally for the discussion of Myspace.

First of all, I'm starting a contest. Whoever can think of the coolest Myspace profile name for me will win my eternal gratitude.

I just registered spontaneously tonight, and then realized how horribly unimaginative I've become since I was a little kid. I need your ideas. I'll consider all suggestions. Voting is now open.

More importantly, what do mooters think of Myspace? I'd be surprised if you're unfamiliar with it, but here's a brief explanation. It's been called "a cultural phenomenon" and "the new hotness" in all seriousness. People in my age group either love it or hate it, it seems, though people on both sides of the argument have Myspace profiles. (

) Some think that it's a corruptive, somehow corporate hypnotic power which should be resisted at all costs, while others say it's nice, and still others say it's a playground for sexual predators. It doesn't really interest me, but I guess I just started a profile because I'd prefer that to instant messaging. And it seems like the only real way to know what my friends are doing now, sadly.

Thirdly, who else here has a Myspace? What is your name there? Wanna start a new group: Entmoot?

EDIT: Oh yeah. Mine: Steve's Myspace.

Obviously in its beginning stages, but I don't plan on making it very fancy anyway.

rohirrim TR · 04-06-2006, 10:20 PM

I don't have a myspace, but if there was an entmoot group I might join.

hmm cool user name how about bomb'space although thats not very imaginative its probably fairly original, or maybe your greeting could say "the name is bomb, james bomb"

man i'm sleepy, I doubt my imagination is up to thinking of a cool username.

*yawns*

Bombadillo · 04-06-2006, 10:57 PM

Well, then, we're in the exact same trouble.

I think the names are supposed to be like usernames, like "The Dude." or something. I might have taken that if it wasn't Millane's nickname here, even though he's been inactive long enough and no one would ever know but me. I don't know what I want it to say. I was trying to think of something that included "Steve" and expressed something about me at the same time, but I gave up. It made me sad to think about how remarkably, really brilliantly creative I used to be as a kid, and now how unimaginative I am. So I came to the moot like usual.

***Earniel*** · 04-07-2006, 05:00 AM

I've heard about myspace, but frankly I don't know what it is. Is it akin to a blog or LiveJournal? Or is it something bigger? (By the way, your explanation link goes nowhere.)

A Dude Named Steve?

I'm afraid I'm not terribly imaginative anymore, I always end up looking for names and such in the same theme.

rohirrim TR · 04-07-2006, 10:47 AM

steve...hmmm "steves the bomb" or maybe "my name is bomb, STEVE Bomb" sorry if it looks like obsessed with bombs but its really all that I get from you'r moot name.

I see you still have the Smooch in your sig

Linaewen · 05-03-2006, 09:13 AM

I've got My Space. I started it up just so friends could view/take photos I put up there. Now I've started using it as a way of writing trivial stuff for MSN contacts to see - I love reading friends' blogs and having my own, but I'm not going to give everyone the URL for my real blog, so I use My Space. I've set the permissions so that only certain people can view it - no random losers.

Btw, I don't know if there's a 'craze' about it here as such, but a lot of people have it, primarily to share photos.
Edity-edit: I use a different type of My Space, since mine's the MSN messenger one. A lot of people have 'Hi 5' (or 'Friendster maybe) here, which is like the type of My Space you guys have. I don't know why I still have it - I just started it to see what the fuss was about (my inbox was flooded with hi5 invites) and then I just added RL friends...and said stuff you to randoms who tried to add me, saying we could be friends. Yeah. Okay. Anyway I don't actually use it. I think a lot of people do to see how many hundreds of friends they have to show off.

Giroth · 05-24-2006, 01:23 AM

I do not have a MySpace, and I never will unless I launch a band.

I'll add you. But I warn you I don't visit very often

tolkienfan · 04-08-2008, 05:26 PM

Does anyone have an opinion whether Facebook or Myspace or some other is the best? Are there differences?

shesabrandybuck · 04-08-2008, 06:08 PM

Myspace is really addictive. I'm on now actually. I am open to any request. As for Tolkienfan, I pesonally prefer myspace. Facebook was very confusing for me, and not really that much fun at all.

As for everyone else, my myspace link is in my siggggg.
