Top 10 reasons I hate myspace

I feel like this blog has turned into a serialized version of my freebie-getting madness. While that is the main thing I'm focusing on right now, I'm going to change the subject. So here are the top 10 reasons I hate myspace (slightly inspired by this). Some of this may have changed since after I quit myspace. I only use it to look up musicians now, and only if necessary.

• No respect for those with slow computers or connections. As a person forced to use Windows 98 whenever my mom's work laptop isn't here or is in use, I feel the pain of any page loading slowly, even the google homepage. Adding a thousand images to every page doesn't help anything.
• Along the same lines, too many ugly images. Too many weird 'thanks for the add!' images with weird puppies or girl in stilettos and very little else. Or psychedelic backgrounds or whatever.
• Chatspeak. I know that this isn't myspace's fault, but chatspeak bugs me. It's okay when you're texting, just because a cell phone keypad is hard to type on. But seriously. It takes longer to type l8ter than later because the number 8 is farther from your fingers than the letter a. And the length of the word isn't actually different.
• Either everyone can see your profile or no one can. What if I just want my school to see it? Some other network? Nope. Not happening.
• Pedophiles. I never get approached my creeps on facebook. You never hear about girls getting approached by creeps on facebook. Myspace is a complete other story.
• Ugly. Facebook has a clean, univarsally plain yet quit okay looking design. Myspace's page layouts are cluttered and hard to use. I'm talking about the pages, not the profiles. The profiles are way worse.
• HTML knowledge needed to do anything. I do have sufficient HTML/CSS knowledge to do about anything I want to with a myspace page, but I hate hate hate coding. It's so boring and frustrating. Plus, most people don' have that. That means that they have to rely on profile/image sites. If they don't really understand the code that they're copying and pasting, they can't customise, fix, change, or edit any of it without possibly messing it up, and each image has 10,00 hyperlinked credits to the site where it came from. One small unobtrusive one is quite enough. On facebook, I can move, change, or whatever my page elements easily without any special knowlege.
  
• Ads. They're so obstrusive on myspace. The facebook ones are better positioned and much more out of the way. No hugeflashy banners at the top of each screen.
• Lack of apps. Facebook apps are undeniably cool and fun and (some are) useful. They make your profile dynamic and realy extend your facebook experience.
• It's lame. It's just a bunch of lame people with no lives who can't spell, type, or think for themselves.
