matgbFirstly:
However, you note that Quixilla now has an auto-insert button for MySpace users so they don't need to copy/paste? MySpace is that stupid that an auto insert is needed for some of the more obtuse?
Which does, of course, lead me to this meta of this post:
I dislike the way SixApart is taking LJ, but, well, no matter how bad it gets, it'll still be better than MySpace.
Why did you even take this quiz? You know perfectly well that you own this site! You know everything inside out and probably help out a lot in support!Yup, I had to clean that code up something chronic, it'll work without cleaning but still...
You are more than just worthy of your LJ! Go get yourself a permanent account once they are on sale again!
Are you worthy of your LiveJournal.com account?

You see, I have come to the conclusion that Myspace is just the Geocities of this generation... Remember when EVERYONE had a Geocities account for EVERYTHING, from their band or comic to flashing nude pics of themself? It's the SAME THING! And, in a few years, Myspace will be a barren wasteland... The site filled with old pictures of drunken flashing teens, perverted old man penises, bad cosplayers, hopeful American Idols, and free demo MP3s from third-tier bands... And lo, from the rubble will come forth the one serious blogger on the entire site...I still haven't got a MySpace account, and I suspect I never will. It seems everyone needs one these days, every wannabe new band puts it on their publicity (guys, a .co.uk redirect costs less than £5 per year, get with it) and, well, owned by Rupert Murdoch and "down for maintenence" regularly. People with 10,000 "friends"? Give me a break. Samy remains a hero, but beyond that...
"My gods... All the cam whores, media bandits, and bad musicians are gone... I can finally I can finally check my e-mail and keep updating my blog. Wait... What's this?!? Myspace is shutting down for good?!? But... It's not fair! It's not fair! There was finally time! Time for a blogger to finally use this place! Nooooooooo- *DELETED*

Essentially, you go with what you want to get out of it. I prefer LJ for personal stuff and ramblings about the 'net and how it works, I prefer blogspot for politics, and my own domain for gaming stuff.
Thanks for the comment I guess; knowing who's randomly turning up and reading is interesting.
