I personally will cease using services such as My Space when a large corporate monster like News Corp buys it up. The one tool still available to the comman person, the consumer, is to cease using goods and services as a way of expressing displeasure. I'm sick and tired of corporate america abusing it's privilege for a fast buck. ALL Corporations rely on consumers. No exceptions. If only, we the consumer. would get our heads out of where-ever they may be and utilize this power we could control this more. But alas, such is not the case. Companies like Google start out in our good graces by respecting us, the consumer, and then over time the greed factor moves in. Coporations are just a bunch of people making decisions so it all comes down to people disrespecting others.

 

I give no hope to My Space as News Corp should not be supported.

MYspace, Facebook, Twitter, are all wastes of time.  I already waste enough time as it is.  I had a myspace account when it was all the rage, but it was the basc of pages.  I didn't bling it out like everyone else promoting themselves hoping to get found. 

 

Myspace could reinvent itself to show me how to cheat on my taxes and not get caught and I still won't have any part of it.  I rather waste time gaming than blogging about myself like anyone else cares. 

 

I suppose networking websites serve a purpose but not for me.

I personally de-activated my facebook account after having one for several years. The lack of privacy is growing at a frightening scale, and the reality of it is for every 1 person you have on your facebook, 2 more will be friends with that person who happen to hate your guts.

Not to mention they own everything you upload to it, and can use anything they want for any purpose. I wouldn't be surprised to see someone I know in a Pepsi ad one day.

Zuckerberg has a shady reputation as it is, and Facebook has grown into an absolute monster imo. No-one should have that kind of influence and power at his age. Facebook has been around for long enough, it's time for the next big thing. We all seem to forget that MySpace was once as big, if not bigger than the current social networking giant.

Have we really grown so daft as to allow a personal information harvester created by some college kid become as integral a part of our lives and necesseary to our households as toilet paper?

Everyone these days is so busy updating their facebook, they're doing it from their computers, their cell phones, their ipods, wherever they can get connected, they're changing status every 10 seconds. People are dying in car crashes from this crap!

Success and innovation didn't make Zuckerberg as rich and popular as he is. Backstabbing and playing off of people's stupidity did.

Die already Facebook!
