Why are so many people addicted to MySpace?

How many emo kids on myspace does it take to change a light bulb?\n\nWho cares, let them cry in the dark.\n\nIt's just a bunch of teens who think they're important. A fad. It'll fade soon.

My opinion is that MySpace is a great place for ADULTS to meet friends, chat, and even hang out, but it shouldn't become an addiction. \n\nMany kids underaged spend lots of time on MySpace, which many people obsess over as being the most dangerous thing on the web for kids. In fact, there are many security features that protect these kids from people seeing their info, such as private profiles, where only friends can see their profile. Also, many people don't realize that you have to accept for someone to become your friend.\n\nOverall, I think that MySpace can be a good thing, as well as a danger. It depends if you use it well or use it improperly.

I'm 24 and I use myspace myself.  I've noticed that here lately more and more people who are in their 30's and older are signing up.   A lot of people from my high school have been signing up that graduated in the late 80's early 90's.  I think it's getting to be the "cool" thing for people of all ages.

because it is the way to keep in contact with others.  it isn't just a "fad"  those who said it is a fad, have some other kind of what to contact people on the internet [tagworld, livejournal, xanga, friendster, etc.]  just because it is more wider, it is having more abuse.  as for popular for teens, SO not true, so many adults are getting myspace and a lot of college aged adults are getting it too.  it is NOT only teens.  people who have never had a myspace account, really have no room to talk.  if anything, i would think xanga and livejournal would be more dangerous, because i use my xanga like a diary, telling about stuff i did during the day [including places]  only three people from my school know ihave a xanga, i don't tell many people about it, because it is my personal diary.  well i think i am done ranting here...

Myspace just like the Internet is as bad or good as the user makes it. Depending on the age of the user and the appropriate supervision of a parent, Myspace can be both fun and entertaining. The key as in any use of the Internet is to properly use the tool in an advantageous manner with proper security precautions. It is my belief that the majority of bad experiences on myspace can be traced back to uninvolved parents who did not monitor and control their children's use of the Internet. It is unfortunate that so many parents let their fear of technology keep them from intervening in their children's on-line activities.

hmm yeh i agree i havn't had a problem with it, i personally think its a good thing i finished high school 4 years ago so people i havnt seen in 4 years i've just started talking to again thro myspace, i think its a good way to keep in touch with people you know, if you dont know someone when you add them to ur friends list you just go into their myspace and read what kind of a person they seem like if they seem to be werid or dirty or something you deny their request, if you add someone that sounds alright and they turn out to be strange you delete them off your list, i'm sorry but i don't understand in so many ways why the internet is that bad i mean i have used it since i was about 12 years old and i had the brains to know that if someone older than me talks to me not to talk back i still  do it, i don't meet people from the internet unless they are connected to a friend of my own that i actully know so i can ask my friend what kind of a person they are if they are a bad person then i won't meet them otherwise i might. I've never been in danger from people on the net because i've never met people from the net and i've never given out personal infomation.

I don't have an insane amount of profile views either, there are millions of people on MySpace, so the probability of a bunch of people seeing your profile by chance is low, that's why there are groups and browse options, to make it easier to find people like you. If you haven't joined a group or added your favorite band(I have 3) as a friend, doing so may increase the chances of old friends or current friends finding you.

Delete it. That's what I did. Now I have so much free time to do things that I want to do, not being controlled by a website. I know it may be hard because you have like a million friends, but its so worth it. Myspace takes over people's lives, don't let it control yours.

I really like Myspace. It's a good way for me to re-connect with old friends and also to make new ones.

It's because MySpace is really a government conspiracy to keep track of your every move and stalk you. The government doesn't want you leaving their "social" network.

I don't think of MySpace as a high school popularity contest, so I have a lot of friends, but not half as many as some people.\n\nI moved two years ago out of my hometown, where I had lived all my life, so I use MySpace to keep in touch with people from there.  I also used it to make new friends in the place that I moved to so I wouldn't be totally alone and confused.\n\nI also used it to join local groups to talk to people about what are some good hangouts around.\n\nAnnndd I also joined groups for people who have the same interests as me and belong to the same organizations as me (ie girls in my sorority at other universities, people in AF ROTC at other universities) just to talk to them about what it's like where they're at.

because it has become a haven for paedophiles\n(I don't hate myspace, I just don't like the idea of perverts taking advantage of kids.)

Because it's an awesome site!. You can listen to music on there or add it to your profile so everyone can hear it, find old friends, meet new people, start your own blog, write emails, upload photos, chat, play games, etc...It's very addicting...trust me on this one..haha

It's a good way to communicate with friends and family and the best way to show the world you without having to meet people in person.....If you want someone to know who you are, create a MySpace account, that way you don't have to explain!

Most don't, because of all the posers.\nRead on their offical site, it usually states there if they have a myspace or not.

The pages take a while to load on my computer and aren't very customizable. However a lot of people already have myspace, so their friends join too. It's a domino effect.

Computers have started to replace life for some people. They can shop, watch TV, date, socialize, and read the newspaper all from the comfort of their keyboard. People no longer recognize that it takes practice to be social. It is a learned behavior. So as they lose the ability to be comfortable in a social setting they isolate more and more in their computer. It is really a scary trend. I have never heard of myspace but I know their are lots of sites that have a full cult following.
