Spamarific MySpace

Time magazine recently released their list of the worst 5 websites, and coming in at number 4 was Rupert Murdoch’s MySpace. The reason they give for MySpace falling from their 50 best websites of 2006 to the list of sites to avoid?

The community has become infested with marketers and other opportunists who create false profiles and essentially spam other users

They then follow that by referring to these marketers as leeches. I don’t know where they get this idea from. I mean, when looking at my MySpace friends I can clearly see that there’s a section of them that are obviously twins / triplets who sometimes share the same clothes / pose, so despite the fact I’ve never heard of any of them, they’re clearly not spam accounts.
