What Is MySpace?

MySpace is a “social networking” web site.There are more than 200 social networking web sites in existence, and their success can be largely attributed to the human need for connection with others. For many people, such websites provide a way to extend their real-world circles of friends and acquaintances, or to find other people with similar interests. Some people even use a social networking site to meet romantic partners, while for others it’s away to escape the daily grind of their mundane lives — after all, almost anyone can be cool on MySpace.

At a fundamental level, social networking web sites are designed to mimic how people tend to make friends in real life — by meeting new people through existing friends and acquaintances.

When you first join MySpace, you create a profile where you can post pictures and provide information about yourself and your interests. You can even write a blog, which is an online journal where you share your thoughts and feelings.

Good Education Background = More MySpace Friends!

Posted on August 28, 2010 
Filed Under Tips & Tricks | 1 Comment

In the last post I talked about getting respect from other MySpace users by showing which college you went to. In the last post, I also promised to tell you how does a good education background can get you more friends on MySpace.

So, let’s say on your MySpace profile you show that you are currently studying or have just graduated from Amherst College and you’ve lost your mobile phone and you’re friends has no way of contacting you…What can your friends do to reach you? Well, they can just simply make a search at MySpace for “Amherst College” or any other college such as Carleton College. What matters is that you have placed your education background your MySpace profile and anyone who knows which college you went to can find you on MySpace!

Also, other people from around the world who are interesting in being friends from students from a particular college might just stumbled upon you and you have just made a new friend :) Imagine if about 0.5% of the net users want to know someone who went to Haverford College you might just get about 34 821 000 friends!

This info isn’t exactly new but for newbies out there…..I hope you find this post useful ;)

Have you ever heard of Samy Kamkar? Well, he is the first person to do a large scale MySpace hacking. On January 2007, he confessed that he created what many people consider one the most sophisticated Web 2.0 worm. The worm is widely known as the “Samy Worm”. Even thought the worm wasn’t malicious it did cause a hell lot of trouble to MySpace. MySpace had to be shutdown in the late2005 after the Samy worm managed to swarm to over 1 millions users to declare Samy a “here” on each of their profile.

No that’s what I call wicked :D

Till now, Samy is not allowed to touch a computer but if he play his card right…he may be allowed to visit MySpace again. This time I hope he doesn’t do anything stupid :p

MySpace Safety Plan – Smoke and Mirrors?

Posted on July 24, 2010 
Filed Under News | Comments Off

Earlier today I posted about MySpace planning some structural changes to block sexual predators from abusing the social network and it’s members. A total of 49 states (in the US) will be cooperating closely with MySpace to help their plans. If you remember, there are a total of 50 states in US and which states is missing? Well, it’s Texas.

Texas Attorney General, Greg Abbott explained the reason for not participating and cooperating with MySpace at News.com.

In my opinion, it’s better to have some kind of plan than having no plan at all. As my mom used to say “If you fail to plan, then you plan to fail” ;)
