Title: AP: Site archives dead MySpace members
Post by: Super-Jesse on July 30, 2007, 12:57:09 PM: The story's located here:
http://www.cnn.com/2007/TECH/07/30/dying.on.the.web.ap/index.html

I was going to post it, but it would have been one ugly post.

I am going to check this out as soon as I get home, for some reason, it seems interesting....

In seriousness, why? Counting MySpace user deaths is something I would do.

...Okay, yeah, seriously, I suppose this is a good idea. Is it suicides, or just natural deaths (I'm not in the mood to look)? 'Cause if it's the latter, sooner or later everyone's gonna be on that list.

Post by: MaxVance on July 31, 2007, 11:02:51 PM: Not everyone. After all, not everyone is on MySpace.

Post by: ShadowBrain on August 01, 2007, 09:37:27 AM: Well, at this rate... (eventually is a very broad term)

Like I said, I'm not getting a MySpace.

Post by: Glorb on August 01, 2007, 07:00:52 PM: I noticed that everyone these days refers to a MySpace page as simply "a MySpace". Is that like calling a tissue a "Kleenex", or like calling photocopying "Xerox-ing"?

Post by: MEGAß¥TE on August 01, 2007, 07:15:02 PM: Not unless they're calling any old webpage "a MySpace."
However, there are terms like "Googling" nowadays.

What else are they supposed to call it?
