Dear MySpace,
Hey. How are you? You doing OK? I hope you aren’t too lonely.
I know, I haven’t been around much lately. It’s just… well this is hard. But I feel I should be honest with you. The reason I haven’t logged onto you recently is because… well… um, you have sorta been replaced by another Social Network. Facebook.
I know it’s hard to hear but I can’t help my feelings. Facebook is just SO FUN! It’s not that you weren’t fun in the beginning. You were THE BEST a couple years ago. It was great to check out people’s sites, see what they put on their bullentin board, listen to their song of choice, or respond to a comment or two.
But MySpace? How can you compete with being kidnapped, flinging food and being Super Poked? Not to mention being able to comment on other’s statuses. That in and of itself is too much fun.
Now instead of logging onto to you in the evenings, I’m stuck flinging kiwi fruit at Steve, cupcakes at Janine or pizza at Shelly. Ann, now she’s a tough one. As soon as I throw rigatoni at her, she back throwing lollipops at me. And those are sticky!
Also do you really expect me to ignore all the quizzes that Facebook has to offer? How can I get through the day without knowing which 80’s movie I’m most like??!?
The other thing, MySpace, is that so many more people are on Facebook. It’s, well, sorta cooler. I’m sorry, but you just aren’t the “it” thing anymore. You have become the trashy version of the online social networking world. It’s not really fair because now that I have reconnected with friends from elementary school and high school; not to mention finding old boyfriends who are now bald and married, I’m hooked.
OUCH! Sorry. Leo just threw Michael Phelps at me. You wouldn’t understand. It’s a Facebook thing.
Anyway MySpace, I guess this is goodbye. Until you are easier to navitgate, don’t give me a virus every time I log into you, allow me to have my blog networked through you and let me throw Barack Obama at my cousin, this is the end of the line.
Thanks for being my first Social Network. I’ll never forget you.
Hugs and kisses,
Me
