odd-n-end

I find those self-playing song files on most myspace.com pages to be annoying as hell — yet another reason I consider it the vast middle school of the internets. “Dood, this song iss SO [crunk/sick/sweet/dope/whack/smooth/hawt] Ima gonna MAKE ya listen ta it! Wha?” Nevermind I’m—like most visitors—already listening to something. Newbie homepage design tip: Just because you can do something, doesn’t mean you should; think about the user. “Wha?” Alternate, make-lemonade-out-of-lemons tip for the rest of us: open several myspace homepages across multiple browser tabs for your own poorman’s megamix! ROTFLOL!
