Once I had a massive profile but MySpace deleted it and all my blogs back in June 2013 along with every other members'. I feel both MySpace and Facebook are becoming irrelevant. I attribute this to their overweening attempts to streamline themselves in order to attract and hold as many customers as possible. I doubt I'm alone in feeling this way.

Imagine what a profile could evolve into over the years. Now realize it will never reach that potential because it gets arbitrarily deleted at totally random moments. Forest fires happen with more regularity. On Facebook I haven't experienced any such deletions because there's nothing there to delete! To whom it may concern: finding nowhere to write is the opposite of consumer friendly. Or does being unable to write make us all more equal?

Were *I* designing a social networking site it wouldn't have this problem.

NEW topic: You know what's worse than being spammed? Having to screen your phone calls. I hate doing it but not half as much as I hate needing to do so. I need to return to my policy of flat out not answering the phone when the caller I.D. red flags a call. If any of these calls are legitimate then why doesn't anyone leave a message? No one with a flagged I.D. ever leaves a message. That's how you know it was right to flag them in the first place.

Notice I've only one favorite album selected? Been that way since I set this profile up eight years ago. There's a good reason for that. Get this album. It's the most important thing I can share with you! Now go. Spend. Rock out!!!

Have fun 'til you're done.
