Review: The MySpace Online Community
from:MySpace is one of the many social networking sites that exists but the difference being that it is more popular than most of them. The site was set up in July 2003 by Tom Anderson who is the current CEO of the company and was one of the very first sites of its kind.
You can start using the site by simply entering very basic details like your name, gender, date of birth and you will be part of MySpace community. First step to do after account creation is building up your profile with answering question related to your favorite movie, songs, age and so on. This profile exists as your homepage and reading this other people can get an idea about you and send you a friend request. MySpace offer a platform to not only interact with your friends but also give a big door to make new friends .Anybody can send you a friend request but you have the power to accept or deny somebody from being your friend by simply clicking the deny button. One the good practice of MySpace is keeping the profiles of ‘under 16s’ as private .You need to know the email address or surname to add them to your friend list. Since MySpace has a seemingly open nature, so to prevent these under 16s from creepy elements, this is a great idea.
One of the most amazing features provided by MySpace is that you have the freedom to change the look and feel of your page by changing the HTML code associated with it. You can change these codes yourself or take help of plenty of sites available which will do the job for you. You simply will have to copy paste the code to your page. But because of these customizations, there are lots of inconsistencies which have crept in the site.
MySpace is a great place for all music lovers. Most of the bands are registered here giving you the opportunity to listen to their tracks even before they are released. Since people can give feedback to these tracks, bands get an opportunity to correct their tracks based on the user feedbacks. Lots of upcoming band use MySpace to promote their band and increase their fan base. You can also upload videos and pictures to your profile and people can leave comments on them after seeing them. You have the option of deleting the comments which you feel are inappropriate or are not comfortable with.
