There are plenty of old Fogys on Myspace you just need to look harder.  But if you feel uncomfortable you could start your own geriatic connection.  Hmmm What could we possible call it?

Let me see if I can help explain the attraction of MySpace. it is what is know as social networking, there are many sites that are built with that idea in mind

Steve Campion, system trainer at Pierce County (WA) Library says in in blog: Library Stream

“ My Space By far the most popular social networking site in the world, MySpace has a thriving community of people of all ages. Teenagers are there, of course, but the majority of users are over 35. Parents, celebrities, churches, companies, and non-profits round out the mix. The typical MySpace user fills out a profile “About Me” that describes likes and dislikes, favorite music, favorite movies, favorite books, etc. These become the snippets others read when they visit the page. A blog built into the page offers a chance to wax poetic or ramble about any subject of interest. Always an important part of the MySpace experience, musicians are given special pages*[my note] within the network to offer audio clips for other members to sample or paste in their own pages. Many pages (if not most) also feature embedded videos and photos, giving MySpace a truly multimedia look. Users are also free to decorate their page with their choice of colors, background images, and flashy effects. This individual expression is a real strength to some people and a real turn-off to others.

MySpace members you can send messages to each other by leaving comments which anyone can read, or by sending private email. Instant messaging is also popular. While it is by no means a requirement, some people try very hard to increase their number of MySpace friends, encouraging and collecting hundreds or thousands of “friends” in a never-ending popularity contest. You might be content with just a few people you know personally. That’s fine. We each have a comfort level. Your friends’ buddy icons will appear on your page, leading you to their pages with a simple mouse-click. Find additional people using the search box. (Hint: Email address searches find people faster than name searches.)”

*Note: Taylor Swift the a new popular young singer/song writer was discovered on MySpace.

Lee Lefever at Common Craft also has a nice explanation:

Hope that helps.
