Would You Like to Join My MySpace Prison Farm?
From Moshe Yudkowsky:
People usually borrow the term “walled garden,” which implies that wonderful things grow inside while keeping baneful influences on the outside.
I propose we borrow a different term: “prison farm.” Yes, you can grow things on the inside; and yes, they will work and keep you alive. But guards with legal sanctions keep you locked up inside, and all the good things in life are happening someplace else.
If you blog on MySpace I won’t read it because the RSS feed doesn’t include the full entry.
If you email me on MySpace I’ll wait weeks until I read it. The experience is so painful that I want to experience it as rarely as possible and only in batch form.
However, if you friend me on MySpace I’ll accept within seconds. I don’t want people to think I’m unpopular.

If there’s one thing I love about Myspace, it’s actually changing myspace layouts. All other things, hmm… pretty not much.
