The day to day function of a MySpace profile seems to be rather boring and useless, if there are no new updates such as new comments from friends, or new friend requests, or something you want to add. The appeal of MySpace seems to be to look at other people's profiles, make a comment and then eventually they might reply. You can also see what they are up to, and if they are on far away travelling, you can find out when they are coming back. However if you see them on a day to day basis, their pages are not that interesting.
The best feature or function of MySpace to me seems to be the Music element. It's perhaps the most useful and non-trivial. There is plenty of information about tours, upcoming singles and albums as well as being able to use their music on your page. I recently changed my background music from Fray's 'How to Save a life', to Snow Patrol's 'Chasing Cars'. It's a pity you can have a few rotating songs. -Maybe you can but only if you know how to figure it out.
My friend count has gone up, and I have a friend who saw me updating my profile the other day, and gave me the link to her page. I didn't know she even had a page. These days it's getting harder to find people, because they have many different email addresses, and if you have one that they use for MSN, but not for email or MySpace, you might be stuck searching for them for ages, depending on how much you know about them. However, if you sit there looking through all of your friends friends you can find so many other people you want to include in your own list.
I have started adding to my MySpace blog, but nothing too interesting. Most of the content is random things I feel like sharing, like favourite quotes or interesting details about upcoming events. I have a regular blog, in fact I have two, so I don't tend to post about really personal stuff, or what I've been up to. I could combine all of them into one on MySpace, but I like having the blog which is a little private, more of an online diary. I don't care who reads it, but I'm not advertising it around either. MySpace is meant to be seen, that's part of the point.
Maybe I will become more comfortable with MySpace in the next few days when I will have a chance to update things, and play around with the overall look of my Profile. I will also attempt to get more involved with the pages of my friends, as so far there are people's pages I have not made any comments on, or even really taken the time to look at yet.
