Myspace

I have always had a Myspace back in 2004 I jumped on the bandwagon. I had some wonderful findings locating friends and family that I had lost through out the years. I had some up and down moments in my life. I met the girl of my dreams there. All on a random question of "what is the craziest thing you've ever done" and that got us going. later after a few years we split and that is an even longer story than any I have ever told.

Myspace was at the front of social networking and they knew it. They were surpassing everyone left and right giving ability to add html code to their profiles to customize it and design how they wanted.

The slow downfall started to turn after News Corp bought the company for $580 million and decided to take Myspace in a new direction. I would have to say that the constant redesign of Myspace and no longer having the ability to make a profile your own made users leave due to the complex application that Myspace came up with.

I still use their services today and that is not even for family and friends anymore as in 2004 I was big in updating peoples lives and socializing and one an app came out called Mobsters.

Now I played this app filled with people all over the world and when I first got on the app I had said "this is some click button bull ish" I had to censor that in my own way and I stopped playing the app. I then later realized my friends had caught on and were playing. I decided to give it another shot.

The thing I learned the most about the game was how social it was it had it's own world inside of Myspace. One thing about the app though is you could not get ahead or be a good player with out multiple Myspace pages to have more than one account.

These accounts turned out to be like gold and people were buying and selling pages because they wanted to be the head of the game. It is a life understanding to try and be the best at something.

I think that is why I liked it so much it gave a mafia feel and where else could you go but an app to kill someone after you got off work. This is what is leading to Myspaces malfunctions for users.

Myspace was sold again by News Corp after they lost users and revenue. They sold the company to Specific Media for $35 million. Now in Specific Medias take over they wanted to make Myspace easier and get it back to the music.

They decided to set protocols for security and to stop spammers. It was all fine and good, because who wanted spam on a social platform. Well on that note it caused a mass deletion of users Myspace pages.

Think about this you are an app user and you made thousands of profiles to play one app to stay ahead of the game and one day poof all your work is gone. That is the epidemic that users are dealing with today. Playdom who hosts the game on Myspace does not know what to do and often look foolish trying to help where they can not.

Myspace can reinstate an profile at their liking at anytime but won't because I am not sure the 200 employees now know exactly how to do that. I myself have been a Myspace users and app player for 3+ years and had 86 of my own Myspace profiles for app gaming deleted by Myspace stating they violated their terms of service.

When did using more than own profile constitute a violation. They can not even figure out their own random deletions.

I still play the app Mobster on Myspace and I still like using Myspace and making new accounts daily to make up for what I lost. I think Myspace has to understand a players stand point and understanding. You own a social platform and you host apps, so you should know the people and the culture.

Playdom has done some things like state they will make a saved game tool to transfer your game to another Myspace, but they are slowly turning users away from the game they love due to hackers and programmers messing with the app itself. Everyone likes to get ahead but they really have to cheat to get there.

One day the world will realize as people we do the things that make us happy and playing apps and social networking makes us the happiest. bring back our profiles and bring back our games.

Playing apps online

I have always tested the online app premise. I have done this many times before with Myspace and also with Facebook. I have been playing this app on Myspace called Mobsters by Playdom.

It like most apps has certain functionality. It has the ability to buy property to build income. It has a hit list to send people to their death for a price and you get this price by buying property. You receive certain stat points for health, attack, defense, and energy.

These are all to make your account stronger or weaker based on point placement. You can attack mobsters and even punch them. In the recent years most people have figured out how to run programs or macros/bots on gaming app platform. They use the same scripting of xml or php that they used to create the app itself.

These bots can maintain your mobster and help you do missions and etc to get your character to succeed. It seems to make players lives a bit easier but if caught using you will get a tos or term of service violation as it is commonly called.

Now as recent months have past Myspace has made changes to their platform and that is messing with the app and many players profiles. I have gone back and forth with Myspace of how or why they have deleted countless Myspace accounts linked to Playdom Mobsters.

Over the last month Myspace has made certain security changes to the platform to prevent spamming users. Any use of macros or bots violates their terms of service they even deleted a few band profile for using friend adders to help grow their audience.

Myspace deleted peoples account that even some payed money for and worked 3 hard and long years to make their experience feel accomplished and worth while. I know over the last few years Myspace had fallen off as Facebook took over in social networking.

Myspace has chosen to go the music route now and forgetting some of the apps that made Myspace the only valuable app platform to them to keep them off Facebook. I myself like their new profile layout and always liked Myspace for the fact they bring music to you and your pages.

The people leaving in flocks was due to Myspace lack of direction after Tom sold the company. They took out a lot of feature that people loved like embedding homail into their profile to make their pages look unique. people wanted an actual place that was their own and Myspace gave them that.
Myspace now has to fix what they have done to the Mobster gamers and all the app players that they got rid of in the deletions of pages that they are not even sure how it happened.

I wish Myspace all the luck in the world and still play the game and have all my original Myspace accounts.

Interesting story on Lindsey Lohan's father

I happened to wake up this morning and get my bit of Yahoo news as always. I live in Florida and find things like this funny with celebs.

The man is 51 dating a 28 year old who used to be a reporter for the Star tabloid.
I'll quote it because it make me giggle a little.

"Lohan was arrested Tuesday on domestic violence charges involving Major, a former reporter for the Star tabloid. Police say he grabbed her arms and pushed her down multiple times during a daylong argument. When Lohan was released from jail Wednesday, he said he "didn't do anything" and the charges were Major's way of making money."

Now so many thing wrong with this. "He grabbed her arms and pushed her down part that is why you get arrested in Tampa? He didn't hit her but grabbed her and pushed her down? I think that is something that happens in elementary school really.

He went back to jail on Wednesday after making harassing phone calls to her while the police were with her. She played the convo on speaker so they could get his convo. if I was 51 and dating a 28 year old I think I could find another and not harass one.

Now the other kicker is he tried to escape Wednesdays arrest by jumping ohttp://www.blogger.com/img/blank.gifff a third story balcony at the Tahitian Inn and the police said in the fall they think he broke his foot, but there was a foot pursuit?

This was an awesome read this am. I'll post the link here. Lohan

This was too funny but goes to show where she gets it from I guess.

Feel free to donate. I am sure I'll post again at some point.

PLEASE HELP IF YOU CAN

WELL MY NAME IS BRIAN AND I AM A FAMILY MAN TRYING TO SURIVIVE OUR EVERYDAY ECONOMY. I LIVE MY LIFE LIKE EVERYONE ELSE THAT STRUGGLES. I USED TO BE IN MANAGEMENT FOR GROCERY RETAIL AND ENDED THAT AND WENT BACK INTO GROCERY RETAIL AGAIN. I STARTED WITH A NEW COMPANY THAT MAKES YOU START FROM THE BEGINNING, SO IT HAS BEEN A SLOW TRANSITION. ONE DAY YOU GO FROM BRINGING IN OVER 2,200 A MONTH TO NOW BRINGING IN LESS THAN 1,100.

I HAVE BEEN WORKING HARD TO PROVIDE FOR MY FAMILY AND MY EVERYDAY LIFE. I HAVE COME TO REALIZE THAT WE WORK TO GET TAXED AND AFTER WE ARE TAXED WE BUY GOODS AND SERVICES THAT ARE ALSO TAXED. IT HAS BECOME AND ENDLESS CYCLE OF TAXATION.IT HAS BECOME HARDER TO PAY MY BILLS AND PUT FOOD ON THE TABLE.

I LIKE EVERYONE RENT A HOME AND SOON WILL BE BUYING A HOME. I HAVE OUTRAGEOUS BILLS AND BEHIND ON MY WATER BILL BY A MONTH I HAVE OVERDUE DAYCARE BILLS AND SLOWING MAKING IT BY WITH A VEHICLE THAT IS ON ITS LAST LEG. I KEEP EVERYTHING IN STRIDE AND MOVE FORWARD.

I HAVE BEEN LIMITED BY MY LACK OF EDUCATION. I HAVE ALWAYS WANTED TO GO BACK TO SCHOOL AND WORK TOWARDS A BETTER CAREER, BUT CAN'T BECAUSE I CAN'T EVEN AFFORD TO TAKE A GED TEST AT THE MOMENT. I FOUND IT ODD A MAN WITH A JOB AND HAS A WIFE WITH A JOB AND 2 KIDS HAVE TO STRUGGLE IN TODAYS SOCIETY.

I WANTED TO POINT OUT 80% OF AMERICA'S STRUGGLES COME FROM AN OUTRAGEOUS GAS COST THAT IS STATE TAXED. I HAVE A POWER BILL THAT AVERAGES 200 DOLLARS AND A WATER BILL THAT IS ALWAYS OVER 130 DOLLARS. I HAVE TRIED A LOT OF THINGS TO BRING MY BILLS DOWN AND EVEN GOT A CHEAP PHONE AND HAVE A CHEAP PHONE BILL TO OFF SET THINGS BUT CAN'T EVEN PAY THAT HALF THE TIME BECAUSE MY 40 DOLLAR PHONE BILL IS 40 MORE DOLLARS TOWARDS MY KIDS EDUCATION OR EVEN TOWARDS MAKING SURE THEY HAVE FOOD AND NECESSARY ITEMS THEY NEED WEEKLY.

I MAKE IT BUT BARELY MAKE IT. I HAVE A CAR THAT HAS AN OIL LEAK AND A COOLANT LEAK AND HAVE NOT BEEN ABLE TO MUCH ABOUT IT BECAUSE I CAN NOT AFFORD TO REPLACE THE ENGINE OR EVEN WORRY ABOUT A CAR PAYMENT FOR A NEW CAR BECAUSE IT IS NOT IN MY BUDGET.

I WILL BE BUYING A NEW HOME SOON AND HOPEFULLY THAT WILL CURB SOME OF THESE HIGH BILLS THAT I HAVE AND PUT A LITTLE MORE MONEY IN MY POCKET BUT I DOUBT IT. I HAVE OUTSTANDING DEBTS AND OUR HOUSE TO BE BUILT HAD TO BE PUT IN MY WIFES MOTHERS NAME BECAUSE OUR CREDIT IS NOT GOOD ENOUGH TO DO SO JUST YET.

I AM LIKE EVERY OTHER AMERICAN THAT HATES TO BE BROKE. I HATE NOT HAVING A FEW DOLLARS TO SEE A MOVIE OR GO OUT TO EAT BECAUSE I HAVE TO USE THE CASH FOR GROCERIES OR BILLS.

I WORRY WEEKLY ON HOW I AM GOING TO PAY GAS TO GET TO WORK OR EVEN COME UP WITH DAYCARE COSTS BECAUSE MY POWER AND WATER BILL ARE MORE IMPORTANT. I WISH THAT THE WORLD CAME WITH AN EASY BUTTON BUT IT DOES NOT.

I MADE THIS SITE AND WILL BE MAKING BLOGS EITHER WRITTEN OR BY VIDEO TO SHOW A HARD WORKING AMERICAN TRYING TO MAKE IT IN TODAYS SOCIETY AND HOW THE STRUGGLES OF SOMEONE WITH A FAMILY TO SUPPORT STILL NEEDS HELP.

I DO NOT QUALIFY FOR GOVERNMENT ASSISTANCE BECAUSE THEY SAY ME AND THE WIFE MAKE TOO MUCH MONEY. EVERYTHING WE MAKE GOES TO RENT, GAS, FOOD, BILLS, HER CAR PAYMENT, DAYCARE AND OUR CHILDRENS NEEDS.

YOU CAN NEVER SAY A MAN NEVER TRIED BUT IS BLINDED AND NEEDS THE RESOURCES TO FIND HIS WAY.

IF YOU FEEL YOU CAN HELP PLEASE DO ANY FORM OF DONATION WOULD BE APPRECIATED.

THANK YOU SINCERLY,

BRIAN ASHER
