Driving Miss Dongle Part Five
Man I love this story but there are some crazy things I have seen on the internet recently that I can't get into right now. It's... personal.
I like the Livejournal service a lot and you people who use Myspace for blogs and such should use Livejournal instead. It's actually independent and doesn't force you to look at ads for dating services that use pictures of young girls who are photoshopped to look even younger.
Also a Happy Birthiversary to Hope!

No, but they will show ads for American Apparel featuring what appears to be alluringly posed jailbait like this and this.
Note to people who decide to sign up for LiveJournal: you can still have an ad-free Basic account if you pay attention and select it during the sign up. Then you only have to see ads on the pages of Plus users.
Jeffrey has already made his shaky, creeped-out peace with American Apparel. He was even brave enough to breathe the same air as Dov Charney, which I can only imagine contains millions of spores from whatever super STD has boiled up on Mr. Charney's privates.
"It's actually independent and doesn't force you to look at ads for dating services that use pictures of young girls who are photoshopped to look even younger."
EXACTLY
Yes, let us insult that crazy Dov, that crazy guy that might just actually rejuvenate the American economy with his crazy antics!
PS those girls only look underage if you're over the age of 30, zing!
Exactly.
I do the official comic of LiveJournal, featuring their mascot, and I have more rights in regards to the comics I post there than anyone who posts their personal work on MySpace.
More features, same software as LJ, no graphic ads, still free.
This is great and all, but can get get back to OC, Jeff? =/

I don't come to where you work and tell you how to more pleasantly massage the prostate.
I love it when people demand changes to free entertainment.
MySpace is totally the worst place on the intertron. The "social network" thing has absolutely no meaning because people just send friend requests to everyone they see. It's like a party where people just pretend to be interested in you so you'll pretend to be interested in them.
In the top right frame. Is that a shadow or did Princess dongle just piss herself?
I have a myspace, but I try to limit it to people I know. I've actually met with a lot of people I never would've met again, like my buddy who is fighting in Iraq right now. It depends on the person, how well or badly something works. I try to use it as a way of keeping in touch with people. Not a race to see who can get the most friends. I have 1 frivolous one, I must admit.
J-Ro, loving the Topato!
Don Charney: he does it for the ladies!
But Jeffrey is so, so right. LJ is way better than MySpace.
* LiveJournal supports open source and open standards. LiveJournal coders wrote code that helps run many high profile sites--for instance, memcached helps run Wikipedia and Slashdot. As far as I can tell, MySpace's code is written by epileptic monkeys and they focus on supporting camwhores.
* Tom is not your friend. Brad might not be your friend, either, but at least LJ doesn't pretend he is.
* LJ has threaded comments, making it possible for people to have actual conversations. LJ's friends page pwns MySpace's blog aggregator. Hard. LJ also has better privacy controls.
* LJ is a million times less likely to crash your browser. Seriously, is there anyone who even dares to browse MySpace without Opera in accessibility mode?
* LJ is a thousand times less likely to be a vector for malware. (Only one incident related to a sneaky Flash ad. There was that whole Bantown thing, but that exploited a Firefox vulnerability and required someone to click a link that went offsite, and all it did was hijack people's LJs.)
* LJ lets you choose whether you'd prefer extra features or an ad free journal. LJ also has pretty cheap paid accounts with even more extra features that let you avoid the ads altogether.
And if LJ is not quite Web 2.0 enough, you can always try Six Apart's new baby Vox, which has enough modern Javascript to choke a horse and then bury it with rounded corners and gradients.
this is all well and good, but i miss actual things happening to jeffery rowland
just sayin
Yeah, Livejournal > Myspace. Especially after Jeffrey pointed out Myspace's TOS which I read and compared it to Livejournal's TOS. Just WOW. Why would you sign up to those terms and conditions?
As for Magical Adventures in Space, its still funny stuff. its sometimes good to take a break from the normal routine too, to recharge the creative batteries for the normal comic.
LJ rawks. Srsly.
But yeah, I use it all the time. It's nice, and it can be free without a lot of adds. (even though I pay for my yearly subscription. Extras are nice)
Topato tanned = baked topato? :O
No wonder he's acting do weird... ah, haha, I'm so sophomoric...
Topato is nothing but the intensified personification of the human condition, where as Sheriff Pony is the voice of reason.
Chalk up another LJer here. Since 2002 I think. It's a great service, and I was smirkingly surprised to see Herr Roland advocating it over WhoreSpace... er MySpace.
"I don't come to where you work and tell you how to more pleasantly massage the prostate."
Oh SNAP!!!! Oh Jeff you're the master of witty repartee. You are my comic icon!
I am pro MAiS comics. As far as I am concerned... they are actual things that happen to Jeffrey Rowland.
J-Ro - just be who you are and post whatever the flying fornication you fancy. We will love you for it, because we have no lives - we spend all our time on the wub-ter-tron-box. just sayin'.
Not just Livejournal; essentially ANYTHING is a superior alternative to myspace. It baffles me. Anything that can be done in myspace can be done better through other means.
