Where Did MySpace Come From?

Wednesday November 25, 2009

I learned a lot researching information for this article. I had no idea that MySpace had such a long history, or such an interesting one. I always thought that MySpace was created as a music site, boy was I wrong. Music, of course, became a big part of MySpace, but far from the main part.

If any of you have anything to add to this history, please do so in the comments section. I'd love to hear anything you have to add. Internet history is fascinating. How people come up with such huge ideas, and then make them happen, is beyond me.

Who Are Your Top Friends on Facebook?

Friday November 20, 2009

If you want all your best friends at the top of your Facebook friend list, so they're easier to find, look no further. This Facebook app will help you create a top friends list so you can put all your top friends at the top. Then you can organize your top friends so your favorite is first.

In case you're wondering, my top friends start with people I know in real life, then people I work with online, then people I've met online that I think are cool. I have about ten people in my top friends list.

How many people do you have in your top friends list? What order do you have them in?

Tell Your Car Stories on Facebook

Wednesday November 18, 2009

Did you have a favorite car in high school? Do you have a great story to tell about one of your cars? How about when you took a trip in your car and got stranded 50 miles from the nearest gas station?

Now there's a Facebook app that will let you tell all your car stories. It's called Cars I've Owned and it will let you create a starting point for conversation about a special moment you had with a special car. You write your car story and then let other people comment about how they had similar stories or how funny they think your story is.

Upload an image of the car. If you don't have one you can select one from one of their stock photos. Then write your story. Share the story on your Facebook so all your friends can see it and read it. Then watch as they comment and laugh as they tell their own stories.
