Well apparently they are revamping it to be more trendy. With music and what not. I just got an invite to the "new" myspace.

I'm not impressed if this is what the "new" myspace looks like. Tried viewing it three different browsers and has the same exact problems on all three.

I remember MySpace. I used to use it pretty heavily until it died out. I think I had 3K+ "friends" too lol Good times. I met my first legit girlfriend on there and had a blast.

Now, I can't even imagine using the site for even five minutes. I think my account is still there.

I remember it from the start up (2004, maybe?) but I think there has always been something wrong with my social skills makeup since I have never had any desire to splatter the details of my life across the electronic billboards of the 'Net. In this I am obviously in the minority. A really small minority apparently - almost invisible.

Being the nerd that I am, I headed over to see what the technical faults were (couldn't care less about it as a social platform). Went to the sign up page and Chrome wouldn't load the insecure content (until I authorized it) which meant their sign up page looked like it was designed in the 90s. This is basic stuff.

That's what I got. Once I allowed insecure content, all was well. However, why should I have to authorize that? Who designed this?

Well, in that case, Justin needs to learn some proper web development skills.

They jumped the shark when they added those huge adverts at the top of the page. Funny though, I stumbled across my old profile the other day.
