"myspace is the new blogger! that's the reason why no one is blogging. everyone
needs to get a myspace cause it's the cool thing to do... i've joined cause i'm
cool." Luke Matthews comment on Jeremy Frasers Blog.
I have been inspired to post.
I feel like I have to take a stand for the bloggers out there. The REAL bloggers.
I have indeed joined MySpace - but.. I'm still blogging. Blogger is for the committed. For the truly creative ones.
Also MySpace is only for boosting (or lowering) your self esteem. It's all a big competition. How many friends can I have? How many comments can I get? How many peoples favourite friends lists am I in? How many emo pictures of myself can I display?
I still feel that Blogger, through all the hard times, through all the competition, has retained some of its class. There's something truly wonderful about a committed blogger. People such as Linus, Ruth, Kathryn..Even Jeremy (however infrequent his updates are)..These people are blogging even when they feel their blogs aren't being heard. Because they don't really care, it's not about how many comments they can get, how many friends they can acquire through having a cool MySpace layout..
So in conclusion - Steff says NO to Luke Matthews. I will still blog, no matter how addictive MySpace may be.
Note: Although I may look like an avid myspace addict, I really find it quite irritating. I'm sick of it accidently posting my comments twice. I look like a moron!

Stef - never underestimate the countless amount of lurking readers that just simply do not comment.
Is blogging and no one reading it equivalent to talking to yourself???
P.S. Myspace is just too messy and stalker friendly.
why am i not in the list of cool people who still blog?
I just can't shake the feeling that myspace is pedophile heaven. Oh that's right - they put new security on so if you SAY you're under 16, you can link to those who are under 16. Ok - so we've got the honest devos right out of the picture now....

ie. blogs like this:
Luke Matthews and...yeah
i was about to post something very similar, until i saw you had already. good work.
ive tried deleting my myspace that i made last year, tried deleting, and updated this year, and again tried deleting, but it doesnt work
steff, you're the biggest myspacer of us all!!! you're online all freaking day! i use myspace but i never said it had any class, neither did i say that it required any creative input. i was only pointing out the reason why posts have been few and far between.
also, i post on blogger just as much as you, as crap as mine usually are. and if it was comments that kept me blogging then i would have stopped long ago. so in conclusion, shutup and blame someone else for your myspace addiction.
and for that rude stunt, i'm dropping you down to the fourth row of my top friends list!!!
matt, thats already been said i think
Sure has.
Anyone got any ideas on what Steff shall post about next?
