Rep Power: 3 | Myspace should be #1  . The only one I don't like on there is cartoon network, it's a kids site, you can't hate on that

Rep Power: 3 | Design or not, I'm not into the whole sexual predator thing. I did hear a funny quote though about it.
"The downside to MySpace is that there are sexual predators on the loose. On the other hand, there is also sexual prey ."
-Check out this vid about myspace, it's funny as crap . http://www.vsocial.com/video/?d=12532

Rep Power: 7 | That could be the reason... I'm not sure. We used to have speakers but recently IT said it was screwing up the recordings of the phone calls we take. I'm not sure 'bout that! I mean, it's been working fine for a long while now (a few years according to some) so why does it suddenly not work now??

Lyte | How are you phone calls recorded? I know that speakers will interfere sometimes (because of the magnet in them) with other electronic devices.

Lyte | Lyte,

Rep Power: 3 | Why Doc? It's not a crime to express an opinion. Noone set these sites in stone as the top 25, that is just an opinion, not slander. Or am I confused somewhere

Rep Power: 7 | Naw, slander is... words falsely spoken that damage the reputation of another.
If anything this would be libel which is.... Defamation of an individual or individuals in a published work, with malice aforethought.
Saying you think a site sucks doesn't rise to the level of libel.
As for the source, you'll have to speak to PC World --> The 25 Worst Web Sites

Rep Power: 0 | I would totally stand by you for most of those sites that you said are the worst sites ever, but since you listed MySpace.com, I would have to disagree. At first I was also a critic to MySpace.com but I learned to like it and utilize it. The idea is very great and Tom sure is making millions. As for the other sites, I would agree with you on some of them. Maybe you should add "******Space.com" on the list instead. Just like MySpace, ******Space is making a lot of money. | |

Rep Power: 0 | This list is nice. Check the number 25. Ikissyou.com. I had a good laugh and almost fell from my chair. As the list, I think myspace is terrible too. The design it's terrible and the way of the thing. Those things, which are called personal profilesites, are really really terrible. They have so much photos etc, that you can't see anything from them. Myspace should be closed or it should look at some another sites. We have here in Finland many sites like myspace and I would say, that they are thousands of times better than myspace. | |
