Craigslist Turns to Police, Community to Fight ‘Spamvertising’:
It seems that craiglist is finally getting serious about people that are abusing the site’s service. It’s not drug dealers. It’s not prostitutes or sexual predators. It’s advertisers…
Craigslist is serious about cracking down on advertisers that are breaking the site’s rules: It has added new tools to allow […]

No big deal really. This is an article from the Newark Star Ledger about the recent study that says most teens are using MySpace responsibly. MCS gets a brief mention.

mad about myspace:
Just a nice little article from The Sun Herald in Mississippi about how the issue with sexual predators on MySpace can be overhyped. The reason I mention the article is because MCS gets a mention�
Unfortunately, the common depiction of MySpace as a fertile hunting ground for deviant adults looking to prey on teens […]

Facebook Yields to Angry Users:
Facebook is in the middle of damage controlling their new stalker options…
The mob has spoken and the leaders have responded. Facebookers can now opt out of sharing their information over News Feeds and Mini-feeds.
Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg writes on the Facebook Blog:
…We have been coding nonstop for two days to get […]
Ghosts In The Machine:
This is actually an article from a Portland weekly about MyDeathSpace. MCS gets a mention but not in a good way…
MDS creator Mike Patterson, however, is quite clear that he is not running a memorial site. He’s running a business and making himself famous as a purveyor of Internet taste and fandom. […]
Fake profiles on networking sites victimize school officials:
I did an interview the other day with Star-Telegram reporter Melissa Sánchez. She was very nice to talk to. Anyway this article is about a school official who was impersonated on MySpace and we had talked about the incidences regarding people who had been impersonated in a bad […]
Body likely that of man sought in quad killings:
MCS got a mention in today’s Houston Chronicle abut Christopher Snider’s body being found. We got the mention because we posted a link to a mirror of Snider’s MySpace.
I’d like to thank the Chronicle for the mention but I can’t take credit for the mirror.
That would belong […]
Sporadic MySpace outages make emo kids even angstier:
Don’t I know it, but I’ll be talking about that on the podcast this week. Anyway, this is a great tongue in cheek article about today’s MySpace outage…
But now: They’re baaaaa-ack! On Friday morning, the blogosphere began buzzing with the news that an unknown portion of MySpace profiles […]
I’ve been getting a lot of traffic for the phrase “deleted myspace”. I understand that a lot of people have lost their MySpace.
I have no solid news about that but the rumor I’ve been hearing is that it has something to do with the power outage they experienced this past week or so and […]
