myspace died

one of the things occupying my time has been reading the outraged myspace users when they looked for their blogs or photo albums or conversations only to find the new owners of the site took them offline with a simple message, they won't be back... they simply pulled the plug and sent millions of people down the drain... years of memories, meetings, communications, creativity, people's lives stored on the web, gone in a flash... the complaints are raw with emotion... couples who met on myspace and trusted the site to respect their space which included first messages, courtships, love letters... parents who made sites dedicated to their children, years of baby pictures gone... writers and photographers who trusted myspace to be their space on the web for their writings and photos and creativity... people who used myspace for business, sharing music and art and earning money via the web... it is so sad to read some of the stories...

what a failure the new owners of myspace will find if they do not allow the people who bought into "myspace" and trusted the servers with access to their files... at least let everyone download the photos and writing and lives they trusted to the old myspace... makes good business sense too, since millions of betrayed people will certainly not help your new site grow...

alas, some people who want to get into the business of social networking simply do not understand social networking...

musical distractions

If people had visible signs or meters that told something about them, what would you want it to tell you?

dumb poll (above), smart responders

all the previous poll votes were somehow erased, so, nevermind... ironically or coincidentally or whatever, the results were very close in practical numbers to the results above shown with just three votes, if you understand the mathematics behind that extrapolative reasoning... i will probably remove the poll at some point... it is a ridiculously useless feature...

SEARCH ME

the thing is, with my tendency to babble and meander and whine and allow distraction to take the lead more often than not, even in this blog that sort of meant to merge brevity with focus like some bloggers do, searching for key words does not always lead to specific information about the subject of that key word... but... here is a start at an easy way to search for key words in this blog... use the search box at the top of the blog to search for words not listed here... if ya wanna, that is... and feel free to suggest words to add to this search shortcut section... click on the words below :)

WORK ... JOB ... MUSIC ... LOVE ... SOFTBALL ... KA ... 42 ... LOL ... LAM ... LAA ... ... ...
