I hate Myspace, but I know many people who swear by it. Personally, I think it's become an attention whoring contest. Perhaps the largest one in the world.

Well i'm sure when I discover the point of it then i'll be able to pass judgement.

I joined it more on a goof. I rarely post anything on it.
It does seem to be some kind of popularity contest for some.But it has its merits i suppose.

Yeah...That part is lame as hell...


I've stated my reasons for being there a bunch of times...So, I'm just gonna copy/paste this:

I had no reason to join (and considered it to be pretty stupid)...BUT...Sergio let me know that ALL of the people we know that go to our clubs is on MySpace...And, it is a LOT easier to contact everyone through MySpace, all at once, than trying to CALL everyone on the phone to try to find out who's going where, who's riding with whom, who's having a birthday party, what time everyone's going, who's going where after the club and what time, etcetera, etcetera....Sooo, that's why I'M at Myspace...

I currently have 69 people on my 'friend's list' (which sounds SOOO lame)...And ALL of them are either from the club, from local bands that have members I personally know, OR people from here at HDC

And honestly, I haven't really been keeping up with it very well in the last year, because I haven't been going to the clubs....The last thing I sent was a message in response to one of Sergio's messages wherein he asked if we could help him with his latest film because one of his actors didn't show up and he had like 3 hours or something to shoot it.....He also sent me an invitation to go to the pre-release party this Sunday, So, I called him and told him I can't go cuz I gotta baby:)...But, Seri is gonna be there...

See how much easier it was for him to just send the invitations to all of us at one time, rather than have to call everyone?...It's just a matter of convenience and fast communication for some of us...


OH...But...I think some people are there just to hook up or make new friends to hang out with or something...

I guess the only thing I've found it useful for is it makes it easier for people I haven't been in contact with for a while to find me. I never use the blogs and I can't stand the horror groups there (not the posting, the way the forums are set up.) I also get spams from people looking to get as many possible friends on it as possible. Their emails are worth a laugh sometimes: eg. "Hey there! I was checking out your pics, and I think your hot! (note: I have no actual pics of myself, mostly horror movie kill scenes) Would you like to chat?"

Then again, there seem to be millions who enjoy it, so to each their own.

Yes, but I really don't like the way they're set up. Plus, once you join one, you get about 3 pms a week trying to get you to join another.

I like the way HDC is set up. Simple & made for discussion.
