										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Well, I&#8217;ve been talking about it for some time and I finally deleted my MySpace account today.  It was an interesting process because I brought up my &#8220;friends&#8221; list (which is decidedly smaller than it was 1 &#8211; 2 years ago thanks to everyone switching to Facebook) to see if I was already linked up with that person on Facebook.  First of all, I was friends with all but 8 or 9 people on both networks.  That&#8217;s 8 or 9 out of near 200 friends (and once near 400).</p>
<p>Second, I absolutely hate the way that MySpace pages can be overly manipulated.  I was friends with some people who chose to completely screw up their MySpace pages to the point where you&#8217;d need a 50&#8243; screen on an ultra high resolution just to see the entire page at once.  Completely ridiculous.  That&#8217;s one of the features that I like about Facebook &#8211; it doesn&#8217;t allow you to break their basic format (and I hope they never move in that direction).</p>
<p>As for the cancellation process on MySpace, I found it to be overly cumbersome.  You have to choose to &#8220;cancel&#8221; your account two or three times and then when you get the e-mail confirmation, you have to click on a link and confirm the cancellation again.  I&#8217;m sure the News Corp lawyers that run the legal end of MySpace have some reason for that process, but it&#8217;s a bit ridiculous.  Just let people cancel and move on already.</p>
<p>So now that I&#8217;m off of MySpace and LinkedIn, I think that I&#8217;m only on Facebook.  I have to go and check whether or not I have any outstanding online profiles at Yahoo, but I should be good at this point.  I&#8217;m considering whether or not to get rid of the Google photo album, too.  There is only a limited amount of space available and it&#8217;s a little annoying to upload pictures to both Facebook and Google.  I guess I&#8217;ll rest on that one a little bit longer, too.</p>
<p>In the last year I&#8217;ve merged both of my blogs into the one that you&#8217;re reading now and deleted unnecessary profiles at MySpace, LinkedIn, and Plaxo.  Frankly, after a while it just gets to be too much.  I think that this is the fate that Twitter has ahead of it.  By the way, has anyone noticed how Twitter is essentially the new AIM for a younger generation?  Just an observation.</p>
<p>No more MySpace!</p>
