- = MySpace Features = - - MySpace allows for a user to upload twelve profile photos, with one being the default photo. MySpace users can create classified posts, join groups to form social networks, find other MySpace users, connect with celebrities, play games and comment on other profiles, along with a plethora of other things. Recently, MySpace added a blog feature for MySpace users to create weblogs. Even more recently, MySpace offered users to upload a song to appear on a "mini-player" in their profile page. - - = MySpace Fame = - - MySpace allows bands to create profiles and promote their music. Several famous bands and musicians have created profiles in connecting with ordinary fans. A select few of these dedicated bands, including Dashboard Confessional and Jupiter Sunrise, made their way to MySpace Records' first ever compilation CD. - - Several other famous people, including Jay Leno and John Mayer, have their own MySpace profiles. It's difficult sometimes to distinguish between actual famous people and impersonators. MySpace has a policy against celebrity impersonation, but it's hardly enforced. - - As with any other social connection service, MySpace has several profiles made by criminals. In November of 2005, David Ludwig and Kara Beth Borden's MySpace profiles were thrusted into the international media spotlight after Ludwig allegedly murdered Borden's two parents in Lititz, Pennsylvania. Ludwig and Borden had a secret relationship only their MySpace and ["Xanga"] peers knew about. Borden later shut off her MySpace profile, and Ludwig's MySpace now falls under the ownership of a Lancaster, Pennsylvania user. Ludwig was a Xanga friend of Davis Wiki user ["MatthewKeys"]. - - = Hoaxes = - - [[Thumbnail(myspacechain.jpg, 200, right, "An example of an annoying MySpace chain letter")]]One feature of MySpace, the Bulletin feature, allows for chain letters to be passed around among users. These chain letters are often annoying, suggesting that a deceased girl would stand over the bed of a user with a knife if the user doesn't repost a specific chain message within a certain amount of time. Another example of a chain message suggests the same, except instead of a demented girl, the user would have a bad sex life for a variable amount of years. - - The Bulletin feature has been abused in many ways, not just in chain letters. Several users have fallen under the false belief that MySpace will begin charging for profiles. Tom, the MySpace creator (and the very first friend a MySpace user will ever have when they create their profile), constantly is reminding users through MySpace updates that MySpace has no intention of charging. - - As with chain e-mails, several bulletins projecting "missing" children have surfaced. Other bulletins suggest that a child has an illness, and MySpace will donate a variable amount of money for everyone that forwards the bulletin. No hard evidence has ever surfaced to the latter, and only a few cases of the "missing" children have actually been credible. - - = MySpace Knockoffs = - - Several services were created in hopes of being "the next MySpace". Some of them are successful; others are struggling. Services like [http://friendster.com Friendster] and Catch 22 are similar to MySpace, with much of the same peer-connection themes in mind. The university-targeted ["Facebook"] is MySpace-ish, but open only to those with a university e-mail address (though as of November 2005, high schoolers may use a separate service of Facebook). MySpace knockoffs targeted toward one specific group of people also have surfaced. For example, homosexuals have two MySpace-ish services to choose from: [http://downelink.com Downelink] and [http://myqueerspace the struggling MyQueerSpace]. Some examples of struggling MySpace-ish services include [http://hi5.com Hi5] and others.

MySpace was correctly filtering javascript, IE however was doing stupid things like ignoring newlines in the middle of words (javascript in this case) allowing him to get around the filtering. The flaw didn't run if you visited MySpace with an alternative browser. MySpace had to add more filtering as a result of Microsoft's code doing stuff it shouldn't have, basically writing a hack to get around a bug in someone else's program. So its really not fair to blame MySpace for the problem. Also, Samy is my hero. --["ZacMorris"]
