[BNM] [OT] Supposing ... I'm too old for MySpace

[Josh Russell]

bo you're not, but i think we have to look past that....


it is effecting all of us, by changing peoples perceptions and
expections of the internet as a whole... it's also changing suttle
things in people's business models too.

we can't just dismiss it as ugly or unusable, because that obviously
doesn't matter to the 90 million people who use it, and it sure as
hell didn't matter when it was sold for $400m.
