Myspace Comeback

By A. Menzies 08/09/26

I really hope the real Myspace makes a comeback. ABC news said they were back in a story. In fact I never quit using Livejournal. Algorithm free online posting was a far better way to read people’s posts online. There is a Boondocks show episode where a musician wants to have fans over for a party, and a kid posts it to Myspace. A huge party packed with people afterwards results. People forget online posting was fun once. #myspacereturn

In theory algorithms were going to show you the top posts of your friends and family. They would weed out the spamming they claimed. Instead they doubled the spam posts, and hid the friends posts. Net trolls and hate mongers thrive in algorithms. Nothing has stepped up to fill the void of old Facebook as new FB is non-stop spam daily and Instagram is only a Facebook clone.

I remember that Myspace had issues as well. People would fight about friends in the top 8 list. Users would make a Myspace they never updated, and dead people still had profiles up. People married with 4 kids had a Myspace up that said single from high school. If Myspace makes a comeback it needs to delete inactive profiles this time around. #inactivedelete
