MySpace.com, otherwise known as EmoSpace and other derogatory names, is the forbidden domain of the geek. Even so many have one including the Hak.5 cast.

Myspace in the Past
MySpace used to be used for serious hardcore geek blogging. Normal mortals used to be almost afraid to step inside. Put aside it's present content, MySpace was a very acceptable free blogging service.
MySpace in the Present
Where it turned bad
With the spread of the geek phase of the MySpace craze, other people started to use blogging as a medium for expression. Some of them had interesting content, but others used the service for useless content, such as photos of themselves and of their friends, dogs, cats, trips, and/or all of the following. Since MySpace has a really easy UI, basically everybody with an IQ superior to 60 could set up their own slice of the internet. This led to the emo invasion on MySpace, which made the service interesting only for teenage girls and lifeless emo freaks.
Today's MySpace content
Now, MySpace is littered with inactive blogs, pictures of underaged emos (who are usually being stalked by perverted adult emos), blogs on bands who have no money to pay a website, and other content of the kind.
