calling all myspacers


Recommended Posts

I always heard there were only four kinds of people with MySpace or FaceBook accounts..

 

1. Pedophiles looking for prey.

2. teenie boppers who like to brag about their questionable exploits.

3. Spouses wanting to cheat on their spouses.

4. Adult children with too much time on their hands (see #1)

Gosh, I am glad to hear that you live your life by what you hear, i.e., what you "have always heard" from the masses. That should get you far in life! Hope you have lots of fun with that strategy! :o:o

 

Hmmm.. not sure where I said I live my life by what I've heard from the masses.

When I tried to click on your link, I received a message from MySpace that they had disabled your account. Then again, given your assumptions about what MySpace is all about, I can understand their reluctance to allow you to continue to have a profile page there; it was only prudent of them to have removed it.

The comment only works the first time it is said. Unoriginal thoughts are, just, unoriginal.

If you send me a friend request I will happily accept IF you mention you are a cacher, otherwise I'll just see spam and deny it. I don't accept just anyone.

 

i ditto this statement

 

although mine's www.myspace.com/keruso

I absolutely hate facebook. It appears to be geared more towards kids.

 

I don't understand why anyone on myspace is getting spam. Been almost 2 years since I've had any spam. Check your security options.

 

Anyway here is mine:

 

Nomad's Art

 

Not too much art there. I have another based on my beliefs and will have yet another based on geocaching and yet another based on film making (the last two as a group with friends). This is my default defacto one though.

I used to get a bunch of "hey I think ur hot come look at my porn pics" I marked everyone spam and before long they stopped. I still often get what I refure to as "collectors" people who think myspace is a popularity contest and the more friends you have the better/cooler you are. So unless I know someone or they give me a good reason to add them (such as they are into one of my hobbies) then they will be denied. If they have friends in the three or four digits then they are definatly collectors and will be marked spam.

Quick bump...

 

Just a kinda funny side note here. . . Although I rarely admit it in the geo world, I have a MySpace profile page. However, I do not mention geocaching on it anywhere, as it is not primarily about my geocaching activities but rather about other, more important (huh? ...see footnote 1 below) aspects of my life, and thus I do not want my MySpace account to be inundated with MySpace Friend requests from hordes of geocachers whom I do not really know in person.

 

Why am I mentioning this? Well, it so happens that I exchanged some (friendly and cordial, as always) email correspondence with an out-of-state Groundspeak reviewer this afternoon, and I just happened to notice, via web tracking tools that are installed on all my websites, that within two hours of receiving my email, the reviewer (ahem... very skilled web hound, there.... :D ) had, using their workplace PC, apparently Googled some info contained in my email and via that route had found my main consulting website, and from there had followed links to my MySpace page, which they then visited. So, in case the reviewer in question is now wondering why I do NOT mention geocaching at all on my MySpace profile page, well, I have shared the reason above! Actually, the reality is that I do have some geo-related photos (particularly of Sue) in the Pics (photos) area of my MySpace account, and I even use the word "geocaching" in the foto descriptions, but since my photos can only be viewed by MySpace Friends and not by the public, search engines (such as Google and also MySpace Search) cannot find those mentions of the word "geocaching".

 

BTW, regarding my preferences that I shared in the first paragraph regarding the fact that I do not want my main MySpace account closely linked to the geo world, some geo friends (i.e., from among those who are aware of my main MySpace account) have suggested to me that I create a second MySpace account, one which is more geo-oriented, to handle geo-related Friend requests from geocachers. You know, on the surface, that may sound like a good idea, but frankly, I can barely keep up with managing my main MySpace account, and, on top of that, I also manage a memorial MySpace account for a famous deceased saint-like Christian healer (she died last year at an advanced age) who was a colleague and a friend, and I could not imagine having to manage yet one more MySpace account on top of them!

 

One last postscript note, in light of concerns/complaints that some earlier posters had shared in this thread about MySpace: Due to my very strict/tight privacy settings on my account, and my strict limits (i.e., age-based, affiliation-based, account-type-based, etc., accessible via Privacy and Security preference settings) upon who can view my MySpace page and who can send me Friend requests, I have ZERO problem on MySpace with messages, bulletins or Friend requests from spammers and sex-related spammers. I do still receive about three or four Friend requests from "real" MySpace members per week, and I reject most of them because I tend to limit my MySpace Friends only to folks whom I know personally; I am NOT into having lots of MySpace Friends! So, it is not all that hard to set up your MySpace account so that you are not hassled by spammers and sex-related spam!

 

 

Footnote #1: Huh? Wait a minute! How can ANYTHING in life be more important than geoaching? What's wrong with this guy? :D:D:D

I normally hate to bump a topic which started over a year ago, but in this case I felt it would be more relevant to do so than to start an entirely new thread...

 

Speaking of MySpace (and Facebook as well for that matter), one of the amazingly irrational and BIZARRE behaviors that I have seen on so-called "social networking" sites such as MySpace and Facebook that REALLY irritates me -- and also guarantees that the requester will be refused/ignored -- is illustrated by the fact that I receive at least a dozen "Friend" requests (via MySpace and Facebook) per week from folks whom I do not know and whom I have never even heard of, and where the utter stranger simply sends a generic friend request, minus any kind of personalized message telling me how they know me or what they feel that we might have in common (i.e., "I am a geocacher and my geo-handle is "ParisHilton111", "I belong to some of your list groups", "I am a fan of your websites", "I knew you back in grad school", "I was one of your colleagues on the failed secret CIA Time Tunnel project back in 1977", "I was your flight instructor for fixed-wing aircraft in 1976", "We were both incarcerated in ward D at the same psychiatric behavioral healthcare facility for two decades", "We both eat the same diet of raw live earthworms, raw live rats and DDT", "I too am obsessed with hottie female Ragdoll cats", "I was the broker who steered your investment of 44 million dollars into Bernard Madoff's fund", "We dated back in 1983", etc.).

 

Frankly, where I would not be expected to recognize their name, I cannot imagine how anyone could be so dense and impolite as to fail to tell me in their Friend request how they know me or what we have in common, and I routinely discard all such anonymous requests. I guess that this matter is in the forefront of my mind right now because I deleted, just two hours ago, two new entirely anonymous Friend requests on Facebook, one from a man in Texas and one from a woman in California; I had never before heard of either person. ...very odd!

Time to revisit Facebook and MySpace so flask has something to pick on me about....

 

And here is a funny MySpace story:

 

I noticed last year that my MySpace page had received a great number of visits over a 2-day period both from a CIA server in McLean, VA and from the Holy See at the Vatican. Today, I noticed that the same page was also visited by the CIO (Chief Information Officer) of the state of Nebraska. Too funny! And, why NEBRASKA??? Is Sioneva enlisting state agencies in her plot to stalk me?

 

I am not sure if these same visitors also hit my Facebook page, because Facebook, unfortunately, does not not allow web traffic/visitor tracking on profile pages.

 

But... gosh... this is so fascinating that I'd better go send updates about this matter to my accounts at Facebook, Twitter, Jaiku, Kwippy, PixelPipe and BrightKite....!

 

:laughing::rolleyes:;):D
