Let’s Talk MySpace and Web Dating
04/19/2007
Well, I was never going to mention this insidious and hideous website again, but… Violet Blue’s column today has too juicy of a quote to leave alone. MySpace is about “collecting friends like white cat hair on black Dickies. ” If you’re on MySpace, you know people like this. I’ve seen some profiles that should be sneezing. Although it is titillating white cat hair. I’d hate to see their mouse. Eeew!
Mostly her column is about Web 2.0 dating, and how we love not interacting with people in person. But there is one gem in the article about a entrepreneurial San Francisco techie who has his own page to advertise for dates. Now, there’s a solution! Tired of Match.com, eHarmony, Yahoo? Build your own page and accept applications. Hmm. I wonder if it would work?

Despite great pressure from others I simply will NOT join myspace. I don’t care if it could drive more traffic to my blog, it’s not the kind of traffic I’d want anyway. I have been doing mybloglog .com which is like myspace but more blog centric. I have landed a few more loyal readers from that but it’s overrun with get rich quick blogs. Not my cup of tea.
