Tom's Hardware Myspace

cool, but be ready for you know what

Not myspace again. When will this fad end?

Hell, probably even sell 'em the freezers to keep it in...

I personally believe that MySpace is a bad idea.

The amount of people using MySpace is proportional to the amount of people worried about their security on the net.

I'll send an add request when I get home.

I'm a fairly new poster here, but what the heck was that post about? Can any vets here give me some insight besides the blatantly obvious?

Toms Hardware has expanded to include many new features as can be seen with a bit of looking around.
This is an example of such. Side's, it gives a feminine touch to a testosterone driven community. Thats my take on it.
I'll let the older hands say more.

I like how THG is listed as a 98 year old male, aquarious, Swinger =)

what is myspace

Is that REALLY your Photo? WOW you are hot! But don't you think that it distracts from the hardware forumz at hand? At least from my POV. But I'm new, so any attempt to help THG is good for me!

Haha yes that's really me. Thank you! It might distract from the hardware, but I like to think of it as a nice addition. Everything is still there, just me as well.

I guess being up in the hierchy gives you certain privedges...like your "princess" status(not that I disagree). I'm still working on getting my 100 posts so I can get my avatar up! A friend recommended that I visit THG for hardware issues years ago, so i was just a post follower. Now that I post, i find it's getting harder to get away from my system. BTW, where did ya get the green elf hat? That would look mighty fine on my wife with her muscle shirt!

Thanks for the rapport.

So when does Anandtech get their girl?

Myspace is probably the most important thing other than Napster (and the affordable home studio) to happen to the music business in the last 15 years at least. So yeah, it's kinda important, and I truly hope it's not a fad.

THG Myspace though? I duno, it seems kinda pointless to me when you have the best tech website in the world already.

But I guess perhaps it'll get little emo kids out of their perpetual cycle of terrible music and even worse hair...and into that world-renowned fashion-concious and oh-so-cool collective who are proud to be known as geeks.

Or I'm reading too far into it.

I thought the point of MySpace was originally like a free E-Harmony. Then it got corrupted and abused by emo types and closet gangsta's...

Nah the emo types love taking pictures of themselves and hanging out in graveyards but they're mostly harmless. Depending on the type of band you are you can get quite a lof of success out of MySpace - I know of a few bands around where I live who are making a good name for themselves just through their profiles - one of them just went from playing 200-cap venues to playing to 6000 kids on a national tour. There are quite a few indie labels around here who judge quite a bit on your Myspace following.

Vendetta have we?

Meh. Its what I do.
