HEUGE

Today I received an email that smelled of desperation, of a request for forgiveness, of long lost love… from MySpace.

I guess I had to write a response as sort of a Dear John letter

Dear MySpace,

I know we’ve had our good times in the past, but I’ve met someone new, someone who I can really connect with. It’s Facebook. it’s not just that your wardrobe is a bit garish with blinky lights and all, it’s just that Facebook is far more refined for her age, and yeah, she’s just a bit younger.

Well, it’s also about my friends. Frankly, my friends don’t want to hang out with you any longer. It seems that nobody does, except for the musicians. Sometimes I wonder if your relationships with the music industry were just a bit too friendly, but it never seemed to hurt us, and you do help me find some good tunes.

Well, I think that’s it. I think for now it is best that you delete my information and stop emailing me. I don’t know if we can be friends again, but you know where to find me if you want to connect. I also know you had some concerns about LinkedIn, but trust me, she’s just a work friend.  For Serious.

Sincerely,
Eugene

On a more serious note.  We’re hiring at Cheezburger big-time!  If you were an engineer at MySpace we know that you can kick ass with massive scale.  We would love to have you.  Cheezburger Jobs can be found HERE!

So I’m a geek, but I’m not really a blogger. I’ve been publishing content to my friends over the years with Facebook/Smugmug/Imagestation(gone)/emails/Usenet(way back when)/.plan(way way back). I hope to be able to comment on technology (both past and future), and I hope that months don’t go by between posts. Enjoy.
