Firefox Add-on To Save You From MySpace

Looks like MySpace has really pissed off a lot of people. Why do I say this? Well, one reason is that recently a Firefox add-on/plugin has been created to warn you if you ever visit any MySpace page. The plugin is called AmIOnMySpace. The official website is http://amionmyspace.com/ and the official plugin page is at https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/6067

Maybe someone should make another similar plugin for Microsoft

MySpace Users Benefits for Removing Comments

To help cut down on this aspect of MySpace, removing a comment box can help solve the problem. After all, it’s embarrassing to have ads for embarrassing medical conditions, meaningless products, or other spam advertisements that lower one’s credibility. No one likes getting spam comments, and we will often do anything possible in order to stop them from reaching our profiles. The first benefit of removing the comment box in a MySpace profile is spam.

It may seem detractive to one’s purpose of a profile, but as users find, the benefits are quite intriguing. But in reality, there is much to gain from removing the comment box from a MySpace profile. MySpace profiles sometimes seem a little meaningless without the ability to comment friends.

MySpace Accounts Breached !?

Looks like Paris Hilton’s and Lindsay Lohan’s MySpace account has been breached. Although the reports were not verified and no comments has been made by both celebs, the news is spreading all over the world wide web. Here is a quote from VW:

Want to see Paris Hilton’s MySpace profile? How about Lindsay Lohan’s? Don’t worry about those pesky privacy settings. Thanks to “data portability,” a faddish technology movement that the Valley has been buzzing about for months, you can see any profile you want on MySpace. Byron Ng, a Canadian computer technician with a knack for finding Web security holes, has discovered that Yahoo’s integration with MySpace makes it easy to view photos for any profile.

I will not be surprised if this rumor is true because a lot of MySpace accounts has been breached before. I just hope MySpace will beef up their security system before people start migrating to other ’safer’ social networking sites.

MySpace Worm - The Popular Guy Hack

Have you heard of the famous “popular guy” hack, also known as the Samy Worm? If not, this will be an interesting read

Written by MySpace member Samy, the “popular guy” hack was actually a worm designed to make Samy the most popular guy on MySpace. Whenever someone viewed Samy’s profile, that person automatically made Samy their friend — without their permission. This was interesting enough, but Samy decided to go further. He created a hack where anyone who viewed a profile where Samy was already a friend also automatically made Samy a friend on their profile. So, if ten people viewed Samy’s profile, Samy would have ten new friends. If 10 people viewed the profiles of each of these new friends, Samy would have an additional 100 friends, and so on.
