Myspace

I've done more work on my Myspace profile. I think it's sites likes these that were the hope of the Internet back in the 90s. I know it was the hope of the one I used to work at, OnTap...to be able to create a community online...Didn't quite work back then.
However, myspace seems to. It has gotten that word of mouth that marketers and advertisers crave yet can't create on their own. Myspace wasn't even the first of these community sites to appear on the Web. I remember filling out a Friendster profile years before I even heard of Myspace. However, it's Myspace that has the brand name and the momentum, so I'll be interested to see what this company does with that advantage. They offer so many features on their one site, it's amazing. Their back-end support needs to play catch-up something quick to keep up with the usage demand.
While more sites pay for use and access, it's sites like these that keep alive the idea of the Internet as a gathering place and a store of information.
