Any of you have myspace.com accounts? I'd love to check them out, as I've just joined up.

Don't do it...
The thing about these new 'free space' programs is that they automatically gather your items to sell. You sign away your rights to your pics, songs, and videos which can then be used to turn a hefty profit...all at little or no cost to the host. Chances are, you'll never see your stuff because it's often sold to foreign media markets.
They usually start first with making the site 'free'...get tens of thousands of members, then sell it to a company who then changes the TOS...usually without notice. Suddenly, you start by getting strange emails to your private address.It looks like "myspace.com" is being bought for 580 million dollars. If any of you have music posted on myspace you may want to remove it now - being bought by Fox allows Fox to use any of the songs or material you have posted on myspace.com for free (based on their TOS):
By posting Content on any public area of MySpace.com, you automatically grant as well as represent and warrant that you have the right to grant to MySpace.com, an irrevocable, perpetual, non-exclusive, fully paid, worldwide license to use, copy, perform, display, and distribute such information and content to MySpace.com and that MySpace.com has the right to prepare derivative works of, or incorporate into other works, such information and content, and to grant and authorize sublicenses of the foregoing.
More gathering sites include:
The nicest place on the internet is here for you: inspiration, community, creativity, art, passion, and a heaping scoop of weirdness await you. Join for free.
These and more to come are expected to grow by leaps and bounds within the next 18 months. The object is membership and content to sell down the road. Some may actually be legit....for now...but with the intention of selling in the future.
As posted on someone's blog..."It gives me something to do..."
