I apologize for posting late. But I do have some potentially helpful advice for you! If you ever planned on mocking MySpace, you're nearly out of time. The jokes about how terrible a place it is have been growing in number, and soon anything you have to say will be ignored as surely as if you were showing off a wacky mural someone made out of old AOL discs.

If you're going for a written piece, I suggest one of the remaining unused titles, like I Have Enough Friends Already, or Nobody Cares About Your MySpace Page. But please don't rely on the fact that sixteen-year-old MySpacers can't spell. Unless you are a high school teacher, I can't think of a good reason why you should be reading anything a sixteen year old has written. Second generation Internet slang is no more terrifying than the original 1337speak from which it sprung, and we can co-exist peacefully with it the same way we always have; by ignoring anything that has a number in it.

Some other helpful information for you: literary critic Gary Wolfe is all too familiar with being confused with sci-fi author Gene Wolfe.

While this may not seem important to you now, I do wish that I had known it a few days earlier. However, he much prefers that to being confused with Gary Wolf, author of the Roger Rabbit books.
