And here I thought Facebook had already gone the same way.

Honestly I still don't even know what the difference between Facebook and mySpace is.

The best part about Facebook is that it doesn't let you customize the background or layout of your page.

The best part about Facebook is randomly Liking everything someone has done in the past month so they wake up to 600 notifications/emails.

who wants to be facebook friends

The thing about myspace was that it really is a thing for bands, not doofuses. Then it got filled with doofuses. So if Facebook came along and gave the doofuses their own place to clog up where they can't make awful layouts and play terrible MP3s, then more power to them.

Things like facebook or myspace tend to go one of two ways.  They're a passing thing among internet people, like livejournal or free webhosting in the vein of xoom or such, existing in a niche ... or they become commonplace and ubiquitous like AIM.  My boss and the secretaries at the Public Defender's office use facebook, I recently learned.  I think it's become "a thing", rather than an internet thing.

Doesn't mean I like it, just that shit, might as well face the music and start using it.

Do you understand how terrifying the words “vibrating strap on” are for an asexual? That’s like saying “the holocaust” to a Jew.

Or not.

No one forces us to use an internet utility we don't enjoy or find useful.

No, but much the same way going to the right bars or restaurants works, proper social networking has certain advantages.

Totally unrelated to facebook or myspace:

I kind of hate deviantart because it is has a piss-poor layout and it's like myspace for crappy artists where you just favorite the artwork of friends to give each other boosts to their artwork's popularity that it doesn't deserve.  But then again, the one thing I do like is then I have one place where I can direct people to look at my crappy art.

I mostly hate DeviantArt because it's the best place I know of to find certain things and has the worst searching interface. Also, they taunt their Pro level search features at you when you're actually better off using the site:deviantart.com google string.

I hate for a hell of a lot of reasons, but the dumbest thing about it is just how counter-intuitive, kludgy, poorly-designed and downright ugly the interface and layout are... in a site designed by artists.

I realize that. But some of them ARE graphic designers, layout experts and other things of that ilk.

Not all of the horrible problems stem from implementation. Most of them stem from poor design. Even if they can't code worth beans, the admins should at least have an idea of what they want and be able to articulate that idea in a meaningful way to those who can make it go.
