My Top Eight Reasons for Joining and Loving MySpace.com

A recent addition to the Associated Content library is a great article by a great author. "My Top Eight Reasons for Hating MySpace.com" is a humorous and insightful piece written by Barefoot. In this article, Barefoot delves into the world of MySpace and explains why he feels MySpace is overrated. It becomes quite clear that Barefoot has little experience with the actual world of MySpace and just what a great outlet it has become. Here are my top eight reasons for loving MySpace.com.

8. MySpace.com has helped to teach me basic HTML. While the majority of MySpace users are completely oblivious to HTML and simply copy and paste from other websites, there are those of us who are able to play around and tweak HTML to further personalize our MySpace page. HTML is a very useful tool and while I do not claim to be an expert, thanks to MySpace, I have become an HTML novice.

7. There are thousands of groups on MySpace.com. Anyone can find a group or several groups to join where there are people facing similar situations or enjoy similar hobbies. I have been able to find a group of women who are all dealing with PCOS, and a group of mothers who all live in my area, and of course my fellow writers here on Associated Content. It is nice to connect with people who share aspects of your life and the groups section of MySpace.com allows us to do just that.

6. There is always someone new and exciting to meet. Granted, there are crazy people and of course people pretending to be someone else, but even they have their own merits. If nothing else, they are probably quite interesting. As long as you are careful to protect your own personal information, there is no harm in branching out to meet new people.

5. MySpace is a great place to showcase your personal style. While most people are not capable of setting up their own web page, MySpace takes the guesswork out of it and makes it possible to build your own personal page. You can add virtually anything you choose to your MySpace page, whether it is background, pictures, avatars, music, and so much more. There are no two MySpace pages that are the same.
