So, What's the Deal with MySpaces?

[pt_tangles]

What exactly *is* Myspace? I have looked at a few out of curiosity's sake, but most just make my eyes want to bleed. Are they another blog-type thing? Or is it more of a static webpage (for people who don't want to learn how to make them)? Or is it just where people post pictures of themselves (and the most obnoxious music they can find)?

I have been told that I should get one, but I am really not seeing anything in it that would make me want to put in the effort of creating yet another place on the internet to showcase my special brand of self promotion. I was hoping that perhaps if anyone on flist has one, they could explain it a bit to me.

Perhaps I am just getting old and resist to change ~_^
