Dear Tom Anderson

An open letter to Tom Anderson, Myspace's founder:

A. I'm not a fan of facebook. If I were, I'd be on that a lot more than I'm on here. The more you make myspace look like facebook, the less I'll be using it. The more applications you add to Myspace, to make it resemble facebook, the less I'll be using it. I know I'm not alone. Do you get the message?

B. The "captcha" images were a great idea. Optional use. For friend requests and comments. Though, these days, it seems as if in order to login I need to fill out a fucking captcha form. I am not good at this, Tom. As you can see, I'm no bot, just a bored underpaid college graduate at a boring desk job. I just had to fill a captcha out to MESSAGE somebody. SOMEBODY ON MY FRIENDS LIST. TO MESSAGE THEM, TOM. And, I had to fill one out three times before I got it right. What's the difference between a "Z" and an "N"? How about two "V"s and a "W"? Yahoo and Craigslist manage to have "captcha" forms that I can accuratley use. What's your deal, Tom?

C. Myspace "secret" shows aren't a secret. To anyone. Ever.

D. With all these new innovations coming along with myspace, why can't you create some sort of "douchebag blocker" so people like this will stop requesting to be my friend. All the "must have last name/email" widgets in the world won't stop people like this from knocking at my Myspace door asking if I want to be their next "muse". Ew.

Thank you,
Ms. Judith
