Is NOT going to charge, contrary to the rumours that have apparently been going around. It is not going to close either.

Anyone with an account will have received an announcement, but just in case you've heard that and it is putting you off setting one up. This is from one the organisers.

Then somebody, masquerading as Tom has been puting a message round saying there is going to be a 2 tier system, 1 free, and 1 for Power Users at £10 a month. I got this message from "Tom"

I didn't get that, only this announcement actually on my page. There is also a warning about people faking accounts and change your password if it happens.

Of course, to be a Power User, you would have to give your bank details! Maybe I should mail Tom myself. An elaborate scam?

If people start posting as you, posting bulletins etc then they have hacked your account, apparently so to resolve it change it your password.

It seems as though Tom's may have been hacked into!

You know, someone could easily copy Tom's photo and have a separate profile called "Tom".  The address of the thing would be different.


If you go to the help section on MySpace, one of the Top 6 most answered questions is the one about whether MySpace is free.  It is free and will continue to do so.  I believe all the ads on the different pages pay for the website.

Hey, I just thought I'd check on my favorite Urban Legends website if they had anything about this as well.  [It's a great place to check some of those chain e-mail things out.]

You'll have to scroll near the bottom of the article for the mention about MySpace.  It appears that this type of thing has been going on for years regarding free e-mail accounts and websites.  If you want, you can also forward the British version of the message you received to the Urban Legends website folks - they sometimes update their info. based on the stuff they get from people.


[The Urban Legends website www.snopes.com is run by a marriedcouple who do this as their hobby.  It's really a fun website to check out.]


peace & take care,


debm

For everyone with a myspace page, this article may be interesting. The record company which includes U2 among their artists is suing myspace over copyright of videos and music. It may affect what we can and cannot post.
