Making MySpace useful

Posted in advice, blogging, internet, myspace, tips, your mom by The Bagel of Everything on August 1st, 2007

Yes, bloggers. There is a use for myspace.

Aside from all the trojan-infested ringtones you can download, myspace is a great image host.

  • Idiot proof interface with a shiny new bulk upload feature.
  • Acceptable directory structure for filing and finding.
  • Hotlinking enabled.
  • Auto generated thumbnails.
  • Unlimited space: I have a half gig on there now.
  • Infinite bandwidth: Unlike some popular hosts
  • Stability: While the website itself often fails, I’ve rarely seen a picture fail to load.
  • Anonymity: As far as I know, it isn’t possible to hack the img url back to the profile. This is a pro or con, depending on your needs.
  • Having images.myspacecdn.com as the photo url is only slightly more lame than shouting “free image hosting at photobucket”.
  • You already have an account: Don’t lie. You know you do.

A bonus for the irony aficionados among us: The ads

    I usually get add’s for Superhero ringtones & Cheapo airsoft guns for some reason…

    I know of one hack for private photos; I’ll have to see if it provides not only the photo but the url as well. I can’t recall ATM.

    Not true. I USED to have one but I soon grew tired of all the ghetto types leaving messages on my page.

    Maybe I’ll have another one.

    Have you seen this? I’m in the process of writing about it, you write about it first, I kill you! lol

    Hey, just think, if I killed you, you’d be on the site and I’d have something to submit. Hmm.

    I’ve seen it. It’s most excellent. Perhaps we should start myprisonspace.com for ppl like Russell Tavares?

    Also, I love my myspace!

    It’s addictive, isn’t it?

    My prison space? FOR REAL?

    Great IDEA!

    Stiletto: Seriously, wanna start it with me? I’ll set up a page on here, you can help me with the research. You can mirror the page on your site as well, if you’d like. Sharing and stuff

    Honestly, I’ve got so many projects going on that I’d hate to commit to something I can’t work on! Why don’t you start it and see where it goes from there?

    However, I have another idea for a site that could possibly generate mad money!

    BTW, how would myprisonspace.com work? These would be kids on myspace who went to prison, right?

    Looks like it’s already been done, damnit!
    myprisonspace.com

    Well then, how about mypedophiliaspace.com? Has that been done?

  13. Stiletto said, on August 4th, 2007 at 9:53 am

    Too many sick minds out there damn it.

  14. Soylent Ape said, on August 4th, 2007 at 1:08 pm

    It may not use that URL, but I’m sure My Pedophilia Space exists somewhere.

  15. Stiletto said, on August 4th, 2007 at 3:56 pm

    I’m sure it does and I’m not about to find it, not on my grandfather’s computer.
