So, my girlfriend finally convinced me to put up a myspace page. I resisted as long as I could but the boredom of sitting here with a broken leg finally got the better of me. Feel free to check it out at www.myspace.com/cybertricoach.
It’s pretty basic right now, I’m still learning how to ‘pimp it out’
So, now, in a blatant attempt to fill my friends list with fellow trigeeks, I’m putting it out there.
Any tri-folks out there half as bored as I am, feel free to post your link/send me a message.
Thanks for posting. You’ll have to give me the low-down on tri-training in Tucson. Before my broken leg, I had intended to spend a good part of the winter down there training. But I guess that’ll have to wait to 07.
I guess I don’t know if you’re flaming me or not? In my defense - although MySpace is largely for the 14-year-old wanting to pretend to be 20, or current college students, I’ve actually found it a very nice way to reconnect with high school classmates I’d lost track of. I’ve had some surprising reunions, both cyber and real, with people I’d fogotten were actually very cool when I was 17, and are still cool now! Granted there are a few who are exactly the same… but for the most part it’s a fun diversion. I still spend more time looking at Slowtwitch than I do MySpace…
I agree with you on the ability to reconnect. I found a good buddy of mine when I was in high school in CT on myspace…we hadn’t seen/talked to each other in over 16 years. And it’s a good diversion from time to time.
Well, yes, I think there is a competition among a lot of myspacers but that’s not the reason I posted.
It’s as simple as being bored to death sitting in my wheelchair all day (getting a case of cabin fever in the process) and deciding that it might be fun to meet some new people with a common interest.
I am in “my space” as I do stand up comedy as a hobby, and it is useful for networking. Having said that, I don’t use it much, and I don’t see any of the weird stuff that other posters refer to. I will add you to my network.

Not flaming you… It’s just that it doesn’t seem to matter who I type in or even if I have an account at all, it says the person is in my extended network.
I go on Myspace before I interview a potential employee and see if they are on there. You can learn a lot about how stupid someone is by checking out their Myspace page.
Yes, there was something I saw on a Myspace page, which made me pass on someone.
