As many of you know, my attitude towards MySpace has been pretty apathetic -- I just didn't get a rip about it. I setup a profile on there a while back, had a few friends add me, found a couple people I knew who had profiles, and that was really about it.
Then today I get an "add as friend" notification that somebody who I hadn't talked to basically since my early college years, but was a great friend of mine growing up. I didn't even know if the dude was still alive (long story, but I just pictured him getting killed at an early age by doing something stupid), so I sent him a note and hope to hear back from him.
So while I'll still generally avoid MySpace (unless I'm searching for local blogs), I guess it does some good.

It helps to keep up with friends we haven't seen in a while, like those who have moved away, and gives me a place to rant in the form of my blog. So, yeah. myspace is pretty cool.
