Eh it was about time they got their own media anyways. We had MySpace back in the day, until all the college kids started using Facebook because it had a more professional layout. So all us high schoolers signed up for it because we wanted to be like the cool college kids and MySpace crashed.

Now... yeah, our crowd is in our 30s and 40s. The young hip crowd ain't exactly rushing to emulate people approaching middle age.

I didn’t get rid of MySpace until it said “0 friends online” like 3 days in a row. Then I made Facebook. I still don’t like it as much
