MySpace.com
No wonder MySpace is doing so well Slicksta thought as he opened an account and was greated greeted by MySpace hottie, Jenny. In the last year this new site has surged past first-mover Friendster to become the most popular networking site on the web. Too bad the site sucks and hardly works.
Slicksta ran into a number of errors while setting up an account:
- First of all, it took MySpace over several hours to send the registration confirmation email.
- When the email finally came, it urged Slicksta to click on a link to verify his email address. He did this and was sent to a login page with a big error that said “You must be logged in to do that!” What the Pho?
- So Slicksta logs in and is presented with another error message about the site not working. But fortunately, the tech team was “being alerted about the issue” so Slicksta wasn’t too worried.
In the days since, Slicksta has tried unsuccessfully to invite friends to his network. Currently his network consists of one friend, some guy named Tom, who has 21,500,000 friends. Tom sure is popular but he does a crappy job keeping the site up!
Usability and scalability problems like this keep Slicksta from checking out the hotties on MySpace. With difficult or unreliable access, can the site sustain its growth?

Judging by the fact that he thinks weave-haired Glamourshot girl is hot and can’t even manage to spell the word GREETED correctly, Slicksta doesn’t strike me as a very bright guy.
who can’t stand that another women is attractive. She’s hot…deal with it.
I have no problem with attractive women. I just have the ability to discern between attractive and corny. Anyone who posts overexposed pictures of themselves striking a dislocated neck pose and thinking they’re cute is corny. And the people who admire them are even cornier. Deal with it.
I side with Slicksta on this one…she IS a hottie.
