I prefer Facebook (my profile here), but I have too many MySpace friends to let go of Myspace (profile here).
Two particular things joined my list of Myspace annoyances this week.
1. The MySpace “Updates” box
It notifies you of new comments, messages and blogs from your friends.
This “New Blog Posts!” notification has been on my page for the past several days, yet none of my friends have new blog posts when I click on it. That’s annoying.
2. My MySpace blog
At first, I tried to use MySpace to draw visitors to mattstooks.com. Every so often, I would put out a bulletin directing my friends to check out one of my podcasts or videos. I gave in two weeks ago and started posting all of my new content from mattstooks.com into my MySpace blog. I figured this would increase the number of eyeballs on my junk (tee hee) without hurting my non-existent revenue.
As a result, I often get more comments on my MySpace blog than I do at mattstooks.com. Why would I be upset about this? Do you know how many hours I’ve spent over the last three-and-a-half years customizing and perfecting my home page? Yet, my ugly-ass MySpace blog gets more traffic. Sigh.
