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.

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.

I have Ringo and Tickle.

A bunch of friends joined Ringo, so I joined as well. They all left and moved to Tickle. I joined there too. They left again. Their excuse was either because of the bullshit "rape story" that happened with one of those sites or that they found something better.

In reality, either of them was good... but people just kept coming and going. So, I stopped joining a bunch of sites. My friends did join Bebo and Hi5 as well. Again, they left. Now, they're at Facebook... and haven't left yet. I joined Facebook because it was focused on colleges only... but now it's public and still undercontrol.

To my knowledge, MySpace has always been complicated. I've been a member of MySpace for 2 years and it's been that way for as long as I can remember. Facebook hasn't really changed... just easier.

You said you have Ringo, Pre-Tickle Ringo? or the new Ringo (although owned by Tickle but has group of programmer experimenting Ringo as address book format like Plaxo for competition but the Ringo has added more feature and it is less address book format and more social networking.. is that latter you are talking about?

I am a BIG GreatestJournal Lover. MySpace is just annoying much of works. I mean I can't read all of my friends's blogs at once, and bulletins are full of junkies, and VERY complicated layout codes, and too much hackers, everything... I am only using MySpace for my mail, comments, add friends that's it.

GreatestJournal is similar to LiveJournal, but GreatestJournal is better because we can save the icons, pictures, etc UNLIMITED, and LiveJournal only allow only 3!

So I prefer GreatestJournal!
