Transcript

Would you use MySpace if it was still around? I feel like there was so many things on MySpace that don't exist now on any social networks like the layouts. I mean we were basically coding back then creating our entire pages. Then there was the top eight. The top eight was brutal. Basically you had to rank all of your friends from first to last and if they made you mad you took them off your top eight. But a lot of people just had like their favorite bands as their top eight. I did that too. Which takes me to the old MySpace music, not the new one, but the old one where music artists could post their stuff on there and you could search for people and artists in your area based on a radius and genre style. And we found so many good artists this way like Secondhand Serenade, Dashboard Confessional, Yellowcard, and basically any new song or music you were finding it on MySpace. And we all can't forget Tom. Even if you had no friends you at least had one. Which makes me wonder, why is there not a site like this where you have more personalization of a layout, top eight, music searches? So I don't know, if a MySpace like this was still around like the old way would you still use it?
