How could MySpace be improved?

Birdy3000	Date: November 17, 2006 @ 1:28 PM I'm doing some research into this online community thing, and since DM took it upon themselves to delete that thread, I thought I'd ask you lot what you love and what pisses you off about MySpace. A few to kick things off: Better if it weren't owned by the Dirty Digger himself, Murdoch. Better if it had a categorised friends list to seperate the spammers from your mates. Better if it had instant messaging (like Messenger) I like the way you can almost totally customise your page. Any other thoughts or ideas? C'mon you lot, I know everyone here has an opinion about myspace!

Birdy3000	Date: November 17, 2006 @ 6:16 PM Jesus! I can't even ask a bloody question about MySpace? I may have crossed the spamming line bringing up my (better not mention the name) project and asking people for ideas and stuff, but what the hell is your problem? I just want to try and get new ideas and see what people like and don't like about myspace. I'm not pretending to be somebody else. What do you think I'm Rupert Murdoch now I suppose?
Dexter	Date: November 17, 2006 @ 6:19 PM Does the fact that we are here tell you anything?
EchoMinor	Date: November 17, 2006 @ 6:23 PM well what did you expect, us to praise myspace with the overhype it always gets at OTHER places? its not the IN thing to do everywhere. especially at an indie music place, where it is understood that myspace severely sucks for indie music promotion.
Birdy3000	Date: November 17, 2006 @ 6:27 PM (Don't know why that posted up twice?) You're probably here for the same reason that I have been using Soundclick for ages. There's more of a community vibe because everyone is here for the music. But i don't think it's a choice of dmusic or myspaz, i expect lots of people have both.
Birdy3000	Date: November 17, 2006 @ 6:30 PM The question was 'how can myspace be improved'. I really didn't expect anybody to say 'it's perfect'. I got quickly bored of it myself, and I've put thought into how to make something better, aimed at musicians, but, you know, sometimes it's good to get other people's perspectives.
GeneHilbert	Date: November 17, 2006 @ 6:36 PM I do have both, but myspace is essentially useless to me and I hardly ever go here. If you are sincerely interested in fixing their site - why didn't you pose that question there to them directly? They are the users - they are the developers. They care – and speaking for myself only…….. I don’t.
Birdy3000	Date: November 17, 2006 @ 6:47 PM I'm not interested in fixing their site at all. As far as I'm concerned the dirty digger's little enterprise can go down the toilet. I'm trying to create an alternative (I won't mention the name for fear of being tarred with the spammer brush) which will be for musicians. Maybe it was dumb of me but i thought a good place to ask people about it might be a music forum. I was really hoping for a bit of constructive criticism. Myspaz has over 100 million people sign up (whether they use it or not) and has been around for less time than most the main forums. So was it just hype that made everyone go there?
Saint	Date: November 17, 2006 @ 6:49 PM I joined because almost everyone is on there and i thought it would be a good place to pick up chicks.I was right but thats all i use it for
Birdy3000	Date: November 17, 2006 @ 7:07 PM You dog!
Saint	Date: November 17, 2006 @ 7:10 PM Actually they call me a around here I also have a music page on myspace aside from my user page with a few songs up, but i never log onto that unless i have a new song i want to put on my page.Even then the music is still there to attract the chicks
Birdy3000	Date: November 17, 2006 @ 7:19 PM What's the quality of the chicks like though on myspace?

Saint	Date: November 17, 2006 @ 9:11 PM Well considering almost every chick alive is on there...theres a fair amount of really sexy ones
PrincessTast...	Date: November 28, 2006 @ 12:25 PM Make it more like DMusic!
Distilled1	Date: November 28, 2006 @ 1:37 PM Well considering almost every chick alive is on there...theres a fair amount of really sexy ones yes ..... hey the other week this one girl sexy suzan or something friended me but wanted me to pay to vidieo chat her
kingo	Date: November 28, 2006 @ 1:59 PM Then it was probably her pimp who friended you.
zedsalt	Date: November 29, 2006 @ 10:48 AM Not being overly familiar with the term "friended" nor with pimps, I find the juxtaposition of the two mildly disturbing...
