[Sigia-l] Your take on MySpace

Maybe I have the wrong idea of creativity but I don't think that for
creativity you need to be bound to expensive tools, features (that are only
fit for creative 'professionals') and other sometimes well-thought-out but
restricting 'interactive solutions'.

Who cares about layout? just give me something to add pictures, links to my
friends and music that I like. Give me enough colours to bling it and I'm
happy.

Reason? Logic? Understanding?

The simplicity of MySpace makes it very easy to browse from friend to
friend. Add them to your group and presto! you can find them again. 40
minutes spent like nothing.

No constricting facets, contrived information structures.. Just a page that
I can refer to when talking to my mates on MSN
