I kind of use myspace... I say this because I know far too many people that use it, and I have a profile that I check once every two weeks hehe. What I really dislike about myspace are those bulletins. I know people who send out like 300 a day, and it drives me mad. But I love distorting the occassional one and sending it back ruining its original intent hehe. Though I do agree, for people you want to keep in contact with, its a great forum. Plus I have kept track of some of my favorite bands through there. But I don't really say much to people I don't know through myspace unless there is something particularly interesting about the profile. Use it if you like it, don't if you don't. Just that simple. I did however add myself to the SOD group hehe.
*Edit*: Ok I just read that msnbc news article... and after reading the entire, I'll agree it can show bad press and etc... but I was enraged by the following quote " Would they have been more aware of David's capacity for violence if they had seen the pictures on his blog?[In reference to a prior comment about pictures of him hunting, and a few of him in the middle of gutting (or cleaning) a deer]" Capacity for violence simply because he hunts? Thanks writer for stating that everyone who hunts is stark raving mad and enjoys killing parents... Of course this is not what he stated exactly, but his implications are downright offensive to responsible hunters.
