MySpace can eat a bag of dick

Yesterday I was reading about how the completely shit-ass design of MySpace is what gives them so much traffic (people need to click through 97 pages to do something they could do in one click on another site) and today I've added another reason to puke at the thought of that site. I keep getting e-mails from them that some skank named Jennifer has invited me to join her group "Hot Videos" but since I can't do anything with the e-mail I have to go to the site to take action on it. Except even though I was on the site hours ago it's forgotten my cookie and I have to login again. Except it says "you need to login to do that!" I need to login to login? OK, now, 3 pages later I'm logged in. And then I have to go home. And then I have to go to the mailbox. And then I have to go to the message. 6 pages later I finally get to this message and hit deny, to which I'm treated to a "sorry, you can't do this because we suck and are having errors or the atari 2600 box this whole site is running on just got unplugged or something" bullshit error message. Basically it won't let me deny the message. I try again and again. I've now given MySpace about 20 page views trying to delete this spam. Finally I decide to just report it as spam instead, except I can't do that either because of the same error that says they can't deny the request. Worst. Site. Ever.

LOL! I have never been on MySpace but it sounds like a piece of crap. I have heard that there are always technical issues. I feel for ya.

myspace really suck on navigation and user experience.

Lord, you're so right. Myspace's tendancy to forget cookies is the worst. And don't forget its miserable search tools -- all of the search boxes behave differently, and none are accurately labelled. For example, if you're on the front page and click the "search web" button with an empty search field, it pops up an error message. But if you click the "search" link to go to the Search page, then click the "search" button at the top of that page the search field left empty, it sends you to a weird, differently-formatted page that says "MySpace: A place for search." WTF?
I don't think I've ever typed the word "search" so many times in my life as I have in this comment.

Best. Headline. Ever.

[this is good]

'nuff said.

[this is good]

Holy crapulence you rule.

[this is good]

You are my hero.

[this is good]

Myspace is the devil. I resisted signing up until I had to, to see some pictures a friend from high school has on there. It is the most difficult piece of crap to ever use.

[this is good]

What Blogebrity said.

[this is good]

MySpace encourages 'design' by end-users that might cause insomnia and/or tourettes.

[this is good]

Again with the best headline-ness. Also, I really only use myspace to talk to friends of mine who live far away and thus I can't hang out with easily, but I can't STAND the kids who friend whore, because it makes it harder for me, a homeschooler, to meet people in my area because NONE OF THEM ADD ME TO FUCKING TALK TO ME! It makes me feel used and violated! *runs off crying*

[this is good]

That was awesome! You're my hero. LOL

So true. Myspace is SO bad... I wish my friends would all get Vox or Livejournal or ANYTHING else besides Myspace. Yick.

I second this!

[this is good]

awesome ^^

[this is good]

Amen, brother. I was on there a while back but decided to delete my membership-- you can imagine how many things I had to do just to get out (about 75 emails all asking me "THIS CHANGE IS PERMANENT. ARE YOU SURE?" Um, yes, thank you, I am sure. Pfft.). Anyway, now that my membership is deleted, I still keep getting emails from them anytime someone updates their MySpace blog, which is completely useless to me, because when I try to read their blog, guess what? "YOU MUST BE LOGGED IN TO DO THAT."

my space is the devil!
I used to find my self just surfing it to see who i knew and didnt know and who knew who. All the while not being a member. I because aware of what i was doing and wasnt ok with it... So i blocked it, i now cannot access myspace from my home internet connection...

I agree the design is horid as well and it uses cold fusion on the back end and that is also garbage.....

good post...

[this is good]

LMAO It's soooo true!!! This made me laugh.

MySpace is retarded to navigate & the searches suck donkey dick. If you want to find an Australian band called The Sleepy Jackson, you have to put in keywords The Sleepy Jackson. Must have "the" and must be capitalized. WTF?

Another thing I hate about it (and MySpace users) is how you can post your income range. OMG.

[this is good]

so true!

[this is good]

Hilarious! I couldn't have said it better myself.

[this is good]

And don't get me started on trying to play a game. My friend got me hooked on the online mini golf, but since the first few times, it has been impossible to access the game from its Myspace link.
And the endless friend requests from bands with seizure inducing homepages...
And the search function for people's names is totally useless. I know for a fact several friends registered with their real names on that stupid site and when I use the people search, it assures me they don't exist.

[this is good]

some people think that MySpace is Web 0.8. ah well :)

~C (for Chaos on vox)

[this is good]

This is the most accurate, blatantly honest account of the MySpace experience. I wish you could take this post and wallpaper it inside the MySpace offices....over and over and over.

You rock!

[this is good]

well said!

[this is good]

MySpace DOES have horrible design and I totally agree with the click-through issue

[this is good]

"how can such a steaming shitpile of a site be so popular?"

never underestimate the stupidity of your fellow man

[this is good]

Myspace is evil.

[this is good]

Headline made me lmao

[this is good]

Funny ... I prefer not to use MYSPACE - it's doesnt meet my needs.

Awesome and true. Did you send this post to Tom? :)

Everytime I go to a MySpace page, i can't find anything except pictures of that persons contacts. MySpace, well, it's shit, really. Isn't it.

[this is good]

I was meant to comment on this about a week ago but I never got round to it! >.< Awesome blog!!!

[c’est top]

Ya you're totally right! I've been in this exploration of blog spaces and stuff and (I'm on MySpace for reasons that I cannot disclose) but it totally sucks. It seems like it gives you control but when you start fiddling with codes, it gives you a lot of junk codes also.

[this is good]

Im so happy to be with VOX, I am new to VOX but already love it more then MYSPACE

My roommates and I have always complained about the amount of clicks it takes to do anything on myspace. We never thought that it might be to make the site seem even more busy.

lame.

Good god I hate that website. My personal pet hate:

"do you *really* want to post this comment?"
"well of course I do I just bloody pressed 'Post'!"

Fair play to you, Mr! Great title :)

[c’est top]

[this is perfect] i dont know why people refuse to use ANY other site than myspace. it is so obnoxious.

and if all of this wasn't enough, it is owned by the same guy who owns fox.

[this is good]

What username said. And Blogebrity. Myspace sucks. Majorly sucks. And great, attention-grabbing headline too.

You'd think with this level of negativity, myspace would just fold up and die. But no.

[this is good]

i only recently created a myspace account and only to see someone's pictures and even with this little experience with that site i can wholly agree with you.

I need to login to login?
that being my most irritating experience with myspace.

[this is good]

Couldn't agree more!

Do you not hav a life?..like seriously wtf. Why sit and here and bitch about myspace. Ur obviously ugly,and thats probly why no one talks to you HAHA.and you can eat a bag of dick ur fuk head

[this is good]

[這個好]

Karla,
are you mentally unstable?
What the hell does looks have to do with this post?

and I agree, however, I use Myspace more because I can work with the code format easily.
The only thing that pisses me off is the bunch of technical difficulties. Which usually don't get fixed until about 48 hours later. T.T

Hi if you're on the front page and click the "search web" button with an empty search field, it pops up an error message. But if you click the "search" link to go to the Search page, then click the "search" button at the top of that page the search field left empty, it sends you to a weird, differently-formatted page that says "MySpace: A place for search." WTF?
I don't think I've ever typed the word "search" so many times in my life as I have in this comment. or I you prefer you can visit Online Pharmacy
