The mystery of mySpace

So the recent profile change (admittedly quite radical and self serving) has caused a bit of chatter. This is actually sort of what I planned becuase I'm secretly boggled by the success of mySpace. As far as the redesign is concerned, I initially thought "hey, it's time for a completely radical approach to my profile" and I wanted to do something really minimal because to tell you the truth, all that clutter annoys the shit out of me. So that's what I did. But immediately after I changed it, I realized that what I liked most about other people's profiles was being able to look at their pictures. Unfortunately, I was in no position to make any changes when I came to this realisation. This turns out to be a good thing because I got some feedback about what people love so much about mySpace. Turns out that comments are a big thing. Is this to say that people like to know what other people think about them/other people? I haven't the slightest clue.
