Who's Viewing Your MySpace Profile?!?

It looks like ProfileSnoop is having some problems these days. At least, mine hasn't worked for a while now. So, what can you do if you want to know whose viewing your MySpace profile?


Well I found this site -- whosonmyspace.com. They claim to be able to track everyone who visits your profile (they also use the terms "checking you out" and "snooping/stalking" a lot... I wonder where they got THAT from.)


Anyway, here's the catch. Once you register for a FREE ACCOUNT, you're directed to sign up for another FREE ACCOUNT at Tagworld.com.


Now, why would you have to sign up for Tagworld.com to be able to insert the code on your MySpace profile? Does this make any sense?


Needless to say, I didn't complete the registration... but if you're that desperate to find out who's checking you out on MySpace... give it a try!

The One Billion Page View Guy on MySpace!!

Check out this guy's page One Billion Page Views. Started by a 26-year old Brit, his goal is to reach one billion page views without any kind of paid marketing. Can he do it? As of this posting he's at 475,982. Anything is possible...

And of course he has his very own MySpace profile.

One thing about his site - he offers a link exchange. If his site continues to grow... as he thinks it will, this could could mean lots of traffic to your own site, so definitely worth checking out.

Friend Adders for MySpace -- do they really work?

I've always wondered how those MySpace Friend Adder programs worked. But everytime I go to research it, I run into a brick wall because they all seem to come with a hefty price tag. And I'm not interested in buying something that may not even work.

Well I found this one GlitchCastFriendAdder on Glitch NYC. I have absolutely no programming experience, so I'm not sure how to attempt to run this program. But I thought I'd post it here anyway to see what you tech-types thought.

Does it really work? If it does, then it's one of the only programs of it's kind that I've seen that is FREE. If it doesn't... oh well.

Why are these Friendbots so popular anyway? Has collecting friends on MySpace become the new way to "socialize" among teenagers? Do teenagers buy these programs or is it just businesses that are trying to promote themselves on MySpace?

Stay tuned for more MySpace News!

MySpace Layouts: The Good, The Bad and the Ugly

Where can you get the hottest MySpace layouts? Well, that depends who you ask...

Do a Google search for "MySpace layouts" and you get over 19 million results. 19 million!

If you're on Myspace (and obviously you are or you wouldn't be reading this) then you know the importance of a good, no, make that a great layout. So here are a few of my favorites:

Whateverlife.com - I'm partial to this site because the layouts here are very girly. Whateverlife also has really great HTML guides -- so if you don't know the first thing about changing font size or color, this is the perfect place to start.

MySpace.nuclearcentury.com - This site has layouts for just about everything it seems - from Hello Kitty! to Gwen Stefani to Candyland...it's all here in a cool drop-down menu. Plus it offers live preview, so you can see exactly what your layout will look like.

MyGen - This site has lots of layouts all neatly categorized for easy searching. They also offer MySpace generators (more on that later) and tutorials.

MySpace Layout Snatcher - If you happen to run across a layout that you like on MySpace there's a great tool you can use to get that same layout on your MySpace. All you have to do is the enter the Friend ID of the layout you want -- then click on Get Code. That's all there is to it.

Of course there are millions (literally!) more options... you just have to do a little searching.

Do you have a favorite place to get your MySpace layout? If you want to suggest a link or even your own site, just let me know! Send an email to myspaceoryours@gmail.com and I'll be sure to add it to my links.

MySpace on your TV?

Well, sort of.

FOX is launching My Network TV in September 2006. Just what kind of programming will be on My Network TV?

Here's a rundown:

" Desires" - Two brothers on the run from the mafia, both in love with the same woman.

"Secrets" - A behind-the-scenes look at the fashion industry.

These shows are based on the telenovelas that are famous in Latin America. Basically they're soap operas. Don't worry they wrap in about 13 weeks... not years like American soaps.

"America's Brainiest" - A Who Wants To Be a Millionaire knock-off

"Catwalk" - An America's Next Top Model knock-off

"Celebrity Love Island" - A Temptation Island knock-off...only with celebrities (probably D-listers)

"On Scene" - A CSI knock-off

And it also looks like they're working on an international "American Idol". Which has me a bit confused because, didn't they already do " World Idol"?

I'm not much of a TV watcher anyway (except for American Idol and Grey's Anatomy), but I suppose there's always room for more new programming on TV..... right?

Maybe FOX is counting on people being drawn by the "My" moniker... and overlooking the cheesiness of it's programs.

I guess we know what kind of advertisements will be cluttering up MySpace this September...

Is your ex checking you out on MySpace? (Part 2)

It's back!

ProfileSnoop is up and running again. I didn't believe it at first when I read the email sent by the site. But I signed on anyway and went straight to the forums. And there it was - "ProfileSnoop is now working again" posted by the Admins themselves.

So if any of you are on MySpace and want to see for yourselves how ProfileSnoop works - check it out now!

The only difference is that this time ProfileSnoop is not completely invisible. When you go to my profile, you can see an image that says "Visitors to this MySpace are being tracked by ProfileSnoop". But it's really not a big deal. By the time your visitors have seen the warning, their profile info will already have been captured by ProfileSnoop.

Let me know how this works for you!

MySpace:The Movie

If you're on MySpace, you'll love this movie. David Lehre and Jeremy Kerr wrote, filmed, edited and scored this film within a 2-month span. Lehre was recently offered a development deal by MTVU.

See the film on David Lehre's website here.

Not so much about MySpace danger, just more tips...(Part 2)

I promised you more tips, so here they are:

5) Be selective about your photos. It may seem obvious, but you’d be surprised how many people display photos that clearly show their house number, license plate number or other personal information. Think twice about doing this. This is especially important for teens!

6) Sharing school/company information. This one is tricky. If you’re like me, a good 10 years out of high school, then there is probably no danger in sharing what high school you graduated from. In fact, if I hadn’t shared that information on MySpace I wouldn’t have been able re-connect with an old high school friend that I hadn’t spoken to in years. But should teenagers reveal what high school they currently attend? My opinion is no. The same thing goes for sharing what companies you work or have worked at. I had this information on my profile for a while, but later decided that there was really no reason anybody had to know where I worked. If anyone is that interested they can ask, and I can decide how vague I want to be about it, depending on my relationship with that person. Otherwise, there’s no need for it.

7) Hide last login. This isn’t so much a security issue as it is convenient. I stumbled across this one because I would find myself looking at my friend’s profiles, checking to see if they’d logged in that same day. I realized that other people could be doing the same with my profile. I learned (with a little from Google) that it’s possible to keep this from showing up on your profile, simply by inserting a snippet of code in the right place. Although, I’m not sure if anyone has even noticed that it’s gone from my profile or not.

8) Hide friends/comments/contact box. Speaking of hiding things, it’s possible to hide pretty much any part of your profile, if you know the right code. Don’t want other people to know who your myspace friends are? Would you rather keep your comments hidden? Don’t want people contacting you or adding you? Simply hide these features. Problem solved. Click here for help in finding the code to do this.

9) Digitalpoint.com. Before I discovered Profilesnoop.com (see previous blog), I had Geo Tracker on my profile. Like profilesnoop.com, it’s simply a bit of code inputted into a section on your profile. Unlike Profilesnoop.com, it is visible to users viewing your profile. It shows up as a button that says “Geo Tracker”. When you click on the button, it’ll show you a world map, with little colored dots showing where the people who viewed your profile in the last 24 hours are from. You can zoom in to pinpoint the location down to the street name, in some cases. It doesn’t go into anymore detail than that, though. Still it’s a fun tool.

and finally…

10) Comments from Tom. This one is definitely not a security tip, but a fun prank to play on your friends. Simply insert a code into a comment for your friend, write in what you want “Tom” to comment and send. I know I’m probably too old to get a laugh out of things like that… but so what? ;-) Click here for the code.

Any questions or comments… let me know!
