What is the matter with all these profile sites?

I'll tell you what the matter is: THEY SUCK. Yet, we are all addicted to them.

It all started with Friendster about two years ago. Everyone and their mother was joining this thing like a black man looking for a coat in Antartica. Soon, we all had cool looking profiles with custom backgrounds, music, and even a video which would begin playing when someone came to our profile. How cool. A video. I'll turn on MTV if I want to watch a damn music video. Wait, MTV doesn't play videos anymore because "reality TV", or the fakeness of it, has consumed that station without a burp. Does the video make you cooler because you have it on your profile and maybe the person viewing your profile will think you are just as cool as the artist singing or dancing in the little square video screen? One will never know the meaning behind that shit.

After Friendster's shine started getting dull, then came MySpace. MySpace actually existed way before Friendster became popular, but then all of a sudden there was a sudden influx of people on MySpace. Everyone that used to be on Friendster was now on MySpace. And if YOU werent on it yet, you were not cool. MySpace was more customizable...which turned out to be a bad thing because now you have all these idiots with no HTML design concept putting falling hearts, raindrops, and any other pieces of HTML crap code they can find on the web, and incorporating it all into their Myspace pages. Some pages take an eternity to load.

Now comes Facebok. Facebook has also been around for a while. Mostly college students were initially on it. Facebook is now the profile site of choice. Let me move my goddamn profile yet to another site. Let me copy and paste all the nonsensical crap I have written about myself on MySpace, which was copied and pasted from my Friendster profile, and put it now on Facebook. I must get about 5-10 friend requests a day at the time of this writing, because Facebook is the cool place to be. Its where the action is happening. The new hang out spot. Like soo totalllly rrraad.

My prediction is that in two years or less, there will be a new site whose asscrack everyone will be jumping on. Facebook will be the thing of the past and you will say to your friends who have not joined the new profile site, "You're still on that old Facebook?" with a disgusted face.

Get some new friends is what I will say to them. Screw all of this, Im out.

Here's an oxymoron for you
