As annoying as MySpace tended to be, I fully appreciate what the article is getting at.

I miss the days where people who wanted to have an online presence could create a website, and it was actually a comparatively good experience.

Facebook is the defacto standard now, and you have to do things their way. Yes it is by far the easiest way for most people to share their photos and thoughts if they want their friends to see them. Unless they are twitterers or whatever.

But I really wish the internet had continued to progress as....it could have.
