Delete MySpace and Twitter Traffic
Posted in Instant Messenger, Myspace, Satire, Security, Social Networks, Twitter by wayne.porter on June 17th, 2008 I will make this very quick since most of it speaks for itself. I decided to check my MySpace account after about a year or so I guess. I am not sure how much time has elapsed, it is like a continual nightmare, but I thought I would report the highlights…

Tom Reassures Me MySpace is Free (heh. like ICQ)
My lawyers tell me that I need to let every MySpace user know that MySpace’s Terms of Use and Privacy Policy have been updated. Feel free to take a look at them:
Don’t worry everyone received this message from me, and this doesn’t mean we are charging. MySpace is still free!
Whew. Close call Tom, for a moment I thought MySpace might cost people something which is not a bad idea. For one it would generate revenue and it would also be a barrier to entry! It would save me time every year or so that I check my account. If it did cost I would not have to delete dozens of these warnings and I do mean dozens…
Profile Has been Deleted
The profile you received this message from has been deleted. Either this user deleted their own profile or MySpace deleted it for spamming and/or content violations.
To remove this message click the delete button below.
Thank you.
P.S. If you’re seeing a lot of old messages in your inbox like this, it’s because someone you know who has written you messages has been deleted. If the messages are new, it’s probably a spammer that MySpace caught in the act.
Don’t worry though….Tom calms my worst fears. The thought that my friends, even my family, have been deleted out of existence is a false alarm.
My Friends Have Not Been Deleted
your friends have not been deleted!
Just wanted to update everyone on this issue. Last Friday we ran some database jobs to fix an inaccuracy in the way we were counting the number of friends each user has. WE DID NOT DELETE YOUR FRIENDS! We simply fixed the number that shows on your profile. You can read more about it in my blog! I know people are very worried they lost friends, but you did not - your friend count is just closer to being accurate. We’re only about halfway through, so your count will still decline until it’s completely finished.
The horror.
Please Intervene for My Sister
Unfortunately my sister is still there. She is on MySpace and I can’t find a tactic or strategy to get her off of the broken CSS, chain letters, scammers and spammers.
Bright Note- Self-Deprecation Works
On the flip side I can report that calling myself a “retard” in Twitter and linking to a blog post drives visitors. This should make my marketing and social media crowd readers happy. *thanks*
I am not sure what all of this means. I am trying not to think about the implications and what it says about the influencer crowd I hang with on Twitter…I do hope no one tells all the “deleted people” about micro-chunking and nano-blogging formats. I am running out of places to hide…
