...is clearly a very sporting man, sharing a platform with the owner of his site's closest rival and even plugging its new API...

Oh wait.

The whole niceness of facebook was that it wasn't bogged down with applications/things to put on your profile which make it take a month to load like MySpazz does, now they've gone and ruined it, not a day goes by that at least one of my friends has added every single application they can find and i have to suffer the invites which i can only turn off after the first time i've had one to that particular application!

Oh and another thing, potentially very big -

I CANNOT UNREGISTER FROM MYSPACE

Nor can other people i know, the 'confirmation' e-mail where you have to click a link to confirm to delete your profile never arrives.

This raises huge questions over data protection and whatnot - people may think they are unregistering then forget about the e-mail, all the while your profile is stil up there.

The biggest reason I can never bring myself to go to myspace is that it looks like someone ate a box of crayons and puked them up onto the screen. That's probably more of a problem for them then a lack of apps.

I barely agreed to facebook but only because it wasn't such an assault on the eyes.

As far as I know you can't unregister from Facebook either, just de-activate your account (and have it re-activated the next time you log in). If there is a delete account option it's not in the obvious place (under Accounts), at least.

Maybe they'll use some of these new third party apps to take notes on coding - and, you know, make Myspace look less like it was coded by monkeys.

(Seriously - is there a worse-coded, and heavily trafficked, site?)
