Automatically Track Your Friends' Top 8

The power of MySpace's Top 8. Yes, it does matter if you're in it or not... well, to some people anyway.

Now you can automatically track anybody's Top 8 using FeedYes.com. Simply sign up for the service and track any changes through your favorite RSS reader.

It's bound to save you tons of MySpace stalking time... if that's what you want. ;-)

Find out when your friends become single

Singlestat.us lets you check the relationship status of anyone on MySpace. I know, I know ... you can do that on your own. The point of his service is -- he'll send you an email notification when their relationship status changes. And if you mention singlestat.us in your profile, the service is free.

Definitely worth a look for any MySpace stalkers out there.

Guy loses job for posing as his boss on MySpace

The details are a bit sketchy on this story but here's the gist of it. Bill Poon worked at a local burger joint for about a year -- last September he used a pic of the president of the company he works for as his MySpace pic and left comments on some of this co-worker's MySpace pages. In April, he gets called into a meeting with HR and his supervisor and is bacially fired because they consider what he did "identity theft".

Identity Theft? Really? Come on. I have no idea what burger joint this is, but do they really not have anything better to do than to be checking up on some burger-flipping, 20-year old's MySpace page? It wasn't like anybody was going to believe he was really the prez of this company. It was a joke!

Anyone else feel the same?

Can You Buy Friends on MySpace?

We've all heard of friend-collecting... people who whore themselves out and run train after train in an effort to up their friends list on MySpace. But this guy is taking it one step further. He wants to pay you to be his friend. According to Aaron Nimocks MySpace profile:

Every week starting July 1st 2006 I will randomly pick one person in my friends list and mail them a check for $50! Stay tuned for more details. To qualify for this I must not know you. Plain and simple.

Utterly Boring reports that Aaron's goal is to reach a million friends. Good Luck!
