MySpace: The Last Straw
Why did they decide that my personal website was “dangerous”?
Any links I attempt to place anywhere on MySpace linking to my personal site: www.austrianalex.com gets filtered through a buggy filtering software. I’m thoroughly disgusted at this point that my site may even be remotely linked and related to any spamming services through the eyes of MySpace, and thus I say screw it. Screw MySpace, the social networking site that bases most of its services revolving around serving spam content through various forms of annoying advertisement (save the ones caught by AdBlock Plus…thanks to whoever made the lovely firefox extension), and then disables linking to a highly reputable site such as mine (well, highly reputable in the sense that it isn’t flooded with the same ads…actually none at all). Viruses and trojans? Why the hell would I store them on my webserver? And as for an associated IP address to the domain, it’s part of an EDU network…so if MySpace decides to block me, they might as well block all of Eastern’s website along with it.
Long story short, screw MySpace. I’ve seriously wasted too much time there to care about how it fails (because some day, it will, there’s no question about that). Throughout its many security vulnerabilities, hypocrisies, and one of the ugliest, most pathetic excuses for a web site design I’ve seen around on the internet, I must say adieu to this personal site filtering crap hole so called “Web 2.0″ site.
“[*] You may be asking yourself, “Hey, what was it about that link that got it in trouble?” An excellent question! 99% of the time, it’s because of our buggy software that our first year college interns (who are thinking about having computer science as a career but usually never make it past their freshman year) make. You can’t blame them for that though, they can’t really handle programming and watching porn at the same time. They know HTML though!!!1!1!1 OMGLOLWTF”
