…but Deliver Us from MySpace

- THIS POST HAS BEEN UPDATED… HERE -

I have been forced to cancel my Myspace account due to someone hacking into my account and spamming everyone – current rock heroes, former pastors, friends of up to 10 years of history – with porn spam, about 2 dozen of them.

Not very happy about this and I let “Tom”, the friendly founder of myspace, know about it as I cancelled. As great as it was to watch my list of “friends” grow, and even better to get requests from people who wanted to be my friend, it was lame to see that number go way down as people justifyably blocked me as a means of shielding themselves from the spam.

This myspace business seems to be unavoidable if you want to be connected to people, and I stuck my neck out to that end on a certain Blog frequented by fellow Prayer Addicts, many of whom questioned why anyone would subject themselves to the waste of time and soft porn ads that must be endured in order to interact with your friends on the site.

Well after being violated, it’s definitely not worth it. (Shawn, you tried to warn me, but I didn’t listen!) You can view the post and the thread in which I do a poor job of devil’s advocating why myspace might possibly be useful here.
