International Delete Your Myspace Account Day
Some of you may be aware that my drive in interactive design was sparked by disgust for Myspace.com. I finally deleted my account a while ago, incase anyone didn’t notice. This article was on Digg. International Delete Your Myspace Account Day is 30 January 2008.
I hesitated posting this until I saw this quote from this article on a follow-up to the post //
One blogger has declared January 30th “International Delete Your MySpace Account Day”.
But MySpace doubts that this will have a great impact on their network.
“This Delete-Your-MySpace day is just about being controversial,” Ms Horne said.
“MySpace is still the biggest social networking site in the world.”
In the words of BBC comedian Catherine Tate, MySpace does not look bothered.
My sister recently called me asking how to delete her Myspace account after it apparently sent something inappropriate to my brother. My baby sister never got one, though I tried to get her to initially. I’m glad she has more sense than me, though she’s probably having less fun.
Please, consider it.

i was wondering what happened to you on there. i had to find a new top friend!
it is tempting but it is a way i keep in touch with certain friends that aren’t on facebook or IM. so until then I’ll keep checking it, but I do find it ugly and more annoying everyday. I much prefer Facebook.
