MySpace and Google Searching for Adherents

Associated Content's MySpace Correspondent Rick Amburgey reports in his article Five Things To Leave Off Your My Space Profilefive critical identifying items for new member's of the social networking service's consideration.
Before we link to his article let us consider that MySpace has 130 million accounts (members.) The website's early adopters were high school and college students, who for them this was the ideal communication medium: pictures could be posted and organized on a page along with instant messaging capability. Hours were spent clicking from page to page and then scrolling-down through the posted photos.

Middle school students were the next to get the message, the girls being more advanced developmentally were the first to sign-up (even though there is a 14-year-old age minimum) and the boys, being boys, as they discovered girls (and disregarding their Mad Magazines) followed them.

The last group to discover MySpace is potentially the most dangerous, sinister menace our great nation has ever faced, Senior Citizens; in their endless quest to hook-up with other members of their Medicare Drug Benefits Plan, shook the Federal Government down to it's legislative lobbyist's  foundations. Events of this magnitude have the potential to reshape the political structure of our country.

What if politicians start using MySpace? Will members be pleased to have robot-generated messages placed on their pages? In California in it's State of Perpetual Election the medium has truely become the message as television ad time-slots are fully booked by Political Consultants (who get paid a percentage of the total amount paid by the candidates campaign.) They are probably trying to figure-out how to generate enough fake members to create the "critical mass" to generate the robot-generated campaign messages to the MySpace members.
