Slick Rick Says Let's Be Friends On Myspace

After the VT tragedy, there was all this talk in the press about how people left messages for victims on their myspace or facebook or friendster pages, and I thought either "Man, what a bunch of losers" or "What the hell is happening to college students these days, don't they make real friends?"

Agreed....it cracks me up listening to people talk about it at work all the time. They'll be like hey joe, I left you a message on my space and you didn't answer, and then joe says yeah we had a wicked party to bad you couldn't come all the pics are up on my space, but dont worry ill send you a message when i get home.

Then I shove my head through the wall, as I wonder why the hell people dont just say what they need to face to face.

I dont know if this is at all true, but I heard in a news story talking about ways to get messages to all college kids on a campus. They said that approx 93% of all college studnets have a cell phone now, if that number is correct, it is truely amazing how quickly the cell phone has become a everyday item.

Yeah, another one of those who thinks myspace is only for teenage girls and child molesters. I commonly see people who do have them though are obsessed with getting "friends". If you are in your 30's and find yourself trolling myspace, you may want to sit down and take an introspective look at yourself.

myspace is just part of the social networking craze

obviously older generations don't understand it, but the older people that do have myspace pages are both creepy and hilarious at the same time
Good thing that we have "real friends" and "face to face" communication and traditional "social networking" here at BP. :tongue2:
