It basically disappeared. No warning from MySpace — no violation of terms of service or anything like that. It just WENT AWAY… taking my 1700 friends, their lovely page and picture comments and my penetrating thoughts on the universe with them. OK, no great loss on that last part… lol

This just provides me a classic lesson of don’t rely on OPT — other people’s technology. MySpace has something like 185 million people in their network as of this writing. The only reason they care about any of them(us) is for the ad revenue; otherwise, do you really think it affects MySpace’s bottom line if they lose someone here or there? What is their level of concern?

I don’t know what happened to my profile. Many of my friends are on MySpace, so this morning I started another account — www.myspace.com/johnmichaelflynn

Come check it out, leave a message, add me as a friend and leave a pic comment or two…

What else can you do but laugh… lol

John
