I took advantage of this feature awhile back thinking it would save me from having to check my profile as often. After awhile, I started getting emails from people wondering why their add requests had gone ignored. Within my MySpace account, everything appeared normal, so I was at a loss to explain it. Finally, after getting more complaints, I deactivated the feature and lo and behold, I had 300 pending friend requests going back for months that suddenly appeared. It would definitely be a cool feature if it worked correctly, but I am unfortunately back to the old way of doing things. I've got a number of friends who had the same problem, so I am relatively confident this wasn't just an issue with my particular account. So be careful!

I hate that damn snocap store. It's ugly, and it sucks, and NOBODY uses it unless you go out of your way to promote it, and even then, you're so much better off just selling through iTunes and amazon. In other news, I think they added that auto accept feature a few months ago. I didn't get it when I reached 10,000 friends (though that was years ago), I got it randomly. Either way, it's very convenient. By the way, I love your blog! Thank God! I hate that damn snocap store.

The yucky animated gif backgrounds and plethora of neon text on black backgrounds is the publics fault for choosing to use them, not myspace's. I think the newer edit profile tools go a long way to making it possible to have a pretty good looking page. I especially like setting massive borders on the page eheh. And yeh it is still the one I would go to if I wanted to actually hear music as I browse it - although autoplay (and yes I am guilty of it too) can get a bit annoying when you open a load of tabs :p.
