Incorrect Assumptions

MySpace really is a single person Mecca. When I created my account and was asked all those lovely questions, I filled them in. Imagine my surprise when I looked at my profile and MySpace had assumed that
A: I was single and
B: I’m not interested in having children
Now, the first one is completely false (my 6th wedding anniversary is next weekend) and while the second is most likely correct- it’s not the kind of information I want listed on my online profile!! It must have taken at least 15 minutes of tinkering before I managed to correct it.

I was also vexed that MySpace took my zip code and listed my location as Bellevue, Western Australia, United States. I had to refresh the screen, entering the same information 8 times before it corrected to Bellevue, Washington. Now, I know that some people would find this infinitely amusing and leave it, but my A-type personality just couldn't stand it.

To add insult to injury, my teenage in-laws, well, they don’t want to be my friends. See if I let them raid my closet any time soon...

All in all, while I’ve been adding to MySpace, I’ll delete it when learning 2.0 is over. I am thinking about checking out Facebook when I get a chance, that sounds a little more my speed.
