I started my myspace account as a joke, a little worm eating into the heart of Murdochspace, and toyed
with ways to enable the clueless to overpopulate the servers with spambots, life coaches and MLM schemes.
Along the way I picked up an absurd number of 'friends' to the point that my friends list
is completely unmanageable - add to that the long load times since every page requires my browse
to load a flash advertisement for ringtones, surveys, or dating sites and myspace becomes a horrendous timesuck.
I started with Tribe.net back when it was novel and seemed to promise to put me in touch with others vibing along
on the same wavelength. Now my tribe profile sucks rss feed off my personal blog, and who knows what
freaky asshole's been following my scatterbrained musings. I rarely even sign in to my profiles online,
as I'm lucky if I find the time to respond to emails with the writing and production schedules I continue to
impose on myself. I'm in the full-blown throes of what's being called
Social Networking Fatigue, which any day now I'm sure will be covered on an advert for zoloft.
