Myspace Spam

There is a rather easy way for MySpace to avoid spammers polluting the bulletin boards, see these images.

That there is a static link, which is probably the only reason why they are spamming on myspace:

If MySpace were to insert a nofollow tag for all links, static links would be useless. Anyone have a clue why they haven’t done this yet?

WeHangHere
is a different kind of social networking site. It helps users hook up
with like minded individuals that hit the same locations after hours.
The official launch date of the service was in October 2006, and it
currently has a strong hold in the European market, with a small
penetration in North America. Users
of the site can search for a venue based on a specific city, or venue
name. Members can also search either by username, or by gender, age and
town and city locations. If you have your head buried in books, or in
your career, it can be quite difficult to meet up with like minded
individuals that enjoy the same types of locations. Or if you don’t
know the locations to hit, you can browse the site looking for one that
might be your style.

I wouldn’t call it a dating site per say, but
user profiles, or essential info as WHH calls them, consist of age,
height, education, language, occupation, country, children, favorite
drink, relationship, like to hang with, and looking for, as well as a
list of locations the user frequents. This helps users get a better
idea of what types of locations they should frequent to meet up with
similar individuals. Another player in this type of market includes Meetup.com. Although it does not specifically target clubs and bars as WeHangHere tends to do.
