Better Websites? (MySpace, TagDeaf, etc)

This is something that everyone should consider when designing their websites, especially those who use MySpace, TagDeaf, or other similar websites.

Use text instead of graphics on your website | Improve the Web

Yep, it states that people go for text more than pictures.

I know I do.

Thanks for the link and bookmarked it!

I have been seriously considering deleting all info and pics from all my accounts from social networks. Why?? I found one that I am most happy with and it's not 'noisy' or spammy like MySpace.

MySpace has been touted as the last social network to fix itself up which it never did.

Before, MySpace was cool, underground and "all that", but now, it sold out to advertisers and it's not cool anymore. Blah.

If you know what cool is on the web, you wouldn't like MySpace.

myspace is owned by rudolph murdoch the same man who owns Fox News Channel eh. Funny I was considering "Wild Blue" if I plan to live on the mountain in Tucson up north where I may not get cable or dsl but turns out he owns it. so forget it I am not giving $ to him as he is supporting Bush and right wings.

Oh boy. Screw Rudolph. Maybe, you might want to buy a good antenna. I do not have one. GraysonPeddie's suggestion for the antenna - http://www.alldeaf.com/543405-post12.html

what about tickle? they don't offer graphic customization either but Tickle is ever evolving though... but their navigation is difficult.

Ringo (the new Ringo after the merge of ringo and tickle) in past, offered no customization and acted like a address book but they morphed into social networking offering customization(I am planning to close my ringo account) Bebo also had that now morphed and I cancelled my account on Bebo.

Hi5 is next which I plan to close account on.

I would say What? What is going on? I would pissed off if there is a new law that we may never know of. Of course, I am not breaking any law. Any reporters go too far or cross the line. It's like asking someone for a help for the directions that could be a problem - they misunderstand that I could be looking a hooker or pimp. I am not panicky at all. The police or reporter doesn't give a damn about us, and all they want to get a big reward. I cannot believe that I am writing this post.

Sorry, VamPyroX - my subject is off...

Right on! I plan to erase all my info and pics from Facebook, Hi5, Bebo, and MySpace, then add a link to each profile as a redirection to my new account at VIRB°.

Social networking has become redundant and boring.

I had to check Facebook that you talked about. It looked simple and easy. I bet that it will grow complex someday. I assume that MySpace website used to be a simple one.

I remembered someone who sent me about Ringo information last year. It is a terrible design. I disliked it. I cannot believe that Ringo is still alive and running the business.
