so one of my latest webdev assignments is to mod the hell out of a myspace page and make it into a pretty marketing tool.

here's an example: http://www.myspace.com/theClosetdotcom

this is the worst project ever. if you've ever looked at myspace's code, it's fucking awful. completely non-compliant with even basic html rules. then you're just slinging a bunch of code into some random input box and modding the hell out of the look. :(

look at facebook's code: it's beautiful! :)

facebook is beautiful, nice and clean. myspace should be banned... it's popularity is mysterious.

i've heard some of the anti-facebook stuff and it creeps the hell out of me.

yeah, I said screw myspace, I hardly use it, but I made my page look as non-myspace as possible.

sriehl: Wow! That's impressive. Makes me seem 14m3 for having the default MySpace layout. :(

the law is no protection
this just reeks of conspiracy theory.

so they ask for every piece of information about you under the sun, but if you fill out your phone number, class schedule, etc. then you're a moron. though I guess not everyone is as aware about internet privacy as I am, so I should cut them some slack. I still think the flash video is kind of lame and conspiracy theory-ish though.

Yeah, that anti-facebook page is conspiracy theory. go read the tos on facebook. their main argument regards photos, and the reason they do that is so you don't go sue them because someone on facebook took it and put it somewhere else on the internet.
