please allow me to say "I'm right" and "I told you so". Thank you.

Ha!  So I came across this little validating article…


“Got your MySpace page yet? Tearing up the platform that Friendster first enlivened, MySpace has become the dominant force in the social networking sphere. Over the past year, searches for the site have steadily risen, making MySpace quite the space hog in the Buzz.

Despite its overall unimaginative design, confusing navigation, and awful autoloading multimedia, who can say what caused the overwhelming success of MySpace? Maybe it's a global longing for web design, circa 1995. Alternatively, we suspect it's a testament to the universal power of peer pressure. Musicians, actors, TV shows, or "personalities" -- everyone's doing it. If you want to make friends, make money, or make a buzz, it seems like you have to make a MySpace page these days.

Or maybe it's just democracy in action. The users voted and MySpace wins. And, given the search demographics, MySpace does seem to be a democratic milieu. Representatives of all ages dip into its slow-loading pages and questionable grammar. Even the unhip 35-44-year-olds are into it. But, most of the searchers for "myspace" turn out to be female (57%), and over a quarter are in the effervescent 13-17 age bracket. Thus, to you MySpace fans everywhere, we leave you with these parting words: U totally luv MySpace... OMG! It like totally RULZ!! LMAO!!! LOL!!!!”
