  1. Review - MySpaceIM

    1.0.697.0 Beta (Jun 20, 2007)

    MySpaceIM has greatly improved since it was first released about two years ago. A new version is released about once a month with lots of bug fixes and several new features.

    Unlike how many people see it, I don't see this program as even trying to compete with the likes of Yahoo Messenger, MSN, etc. This is an IM program that allows MySpace members to interact with each other and that's it. It certainly accomplishes that goal, in my opinion.

    It's easy to import your contact list, add new friends, it offers multiple chat views and has many options for it to be such an infant program.

    The most important thing to me is that it alerts you when you have new messages, new friend request, new blog comments, etc. Makes it much easier for me.

    Sure this program has a long way to go to even be halfway on par with other IM programs, but it has already come a long way and it no doubt will be successful.

    For the person below who 'claims' that MySpaceIM monitors your usage, etc., you might want to actually look at the connection log that MySpaceIM generates. You couldn't be any further from the truth.

    And for the person who doesn't trust MySpace because they 'supposedly' turned in a teenager for threats against the President. Name me any other reputable company that would ignore those types of things? Yahoo, Microsoft, Apple, etc certainly wouldn't. Read the terms of service.

  2. Comment - VA Wants E-Mail Addresses of Sex Offenders

    1.0.697.0 Beta (Dec 11, 2006 - 8:48 PM)

    This makes no sense. Sex offenders would be blocked from such sites as MySpace? While you're at it, ban them from going into any kind of shopping mall or a fast food restaurant with playgrounds. I mean, those types of places put the sex offender at risk of committing another crime, right?

    Absolutely ridiculous.

    Also, what sex offender is going to register their online identities and email addresses? It's so easy to fake names when signing up for email accounts at Hotmail/MSN/etc, that it's impossible to know every one of their identities or catch them in a lie.

    Absolutely ridiculous.
