Is Myspace vs. Facebook a class issue? (Download Squad)

Jun 26th 2007 9:47PM I think this argument is a waste of everyone's time. Yes, there is a class issue at work here. If you're old enough to recall the time when people posting to
Usenet newsgroups would get flamed for having an AOL address, then you're old enough to remember when people would get flamed on internet forums for having a WebTV address. And that makes you just old enough to realize that there always will be condescending jerks on the internet who will be ready to disparage anyone who doesn't meet their criteria for internet savviness. It is not a matter of populist pride in Myspace so much as it is elitist pride in Facebook. I hold accounts in both because I have friends in both networks. Both platforms have differences that make them equally inviting and compelling for me. Frankly, I hope both networks meet the same fate Friendster did, and I pray that a truly open solution for social networking evolves.

Ask Download Squad: What media player(s) do you use? (Download Squad)

Oct 17th 2005 9:03PM For music, I use Yahoo Music Engine. I allow it to organize all my music, and since I love listening to music, it's nice to have Yahoo Music Unlimited at my fingertips. I was tempted to go back to using ITunes for podcasts until Yahoo unleashed its podcast functionality. I love it. I also author a lot of media, and for that I use Quicktime or Flash. It just makes sense to use a format that is widely available. By the way, Dell Dj guy...Yahoo Music Engine will work with your Dell. Seriously, I don't know what the big deal with the Ipod is. I do love its user interface, but I'd much rather have an MP3 player that has the added functionality of FM Radio and audio recording built in.
