I suddenly dropped off the face of myspace.com. It wasn’t really working for me, anyways. I suppose that I did start semi-serious blogging there, but I knew I wouldn’t last there. I had started a facebook account, which seemed much more fun and I also am on tribe.net, where I like the topic-based forums.

J- came home one day and said he had heard a story on kpfa about how people have been using myspace to grab passwords, dropping a tracking bug and combining that info to gain access to people’s financial info. Somewhat rashly, I canceled my account. I did a little research found this video and remembered something like it happening to me.

Unfortunately, I can’t get these youtube videos to embed here, so click here to see:

I am including a geography tag on this because I am beginning to consider the idea of webspace as a form of geography. I am working on a much more in-depth post that gets into this more… I will probably change the name of that category at some point to geography/web geography or something like that.
