So day 2 of being on MySpace and I am still trying to come to terms with the whole concept. I was really struggling with it until Sir William of Shatner became my “friend”… then suddenly I was star struck and realised that MySpace is indeed one big ruse to cheat at the pub game “Six degrees of Kevin Bacon”. I mean, If I’m only a MySpace link away from William Shatner and Keira Knightley, then linking to Kevin Bacon is a doddle, surely?
Then for a few brief minutes I got very carried away linking to lots of other people that are famous and I would like to link to -Â Derren Brown, Faithless, James, and I eagerly await links from Mr. T and the Hoff for my page to really impress. Very disappointed that Gil Gerard (Buck Rogers) doesn’t have a page.
So last night I excitedly showed Jen my page, and in particular my link to Captain Kirk. She had a good look around it and said “What’s the point?”
“You get links from people, look, Faithless, down there.”
“Why?”
“er, because that’s what you do.”
“Why?”
“I’ve no idea.”
“Pointless.”
And she has a point. For all the fuss I still don’t understand what MySpace does.

Indeed, it is a broken pencil, i was surprised it took off, i bet the guy that created it is scratching his head wondering why too
