Just saw the blast posted by "Tom" (for example, pretending to be Tom Anderson, co-founder of MySpace and saying more or less "This place is so much better than MySpace!"
Not using that too specifically, just wondering about something that's been simmering in my mind about the direction this place takes, will take, ... - self-image is important there yes?
And is this LostCherry, or is this only the AntiMySpace, committed to doing whatever MySpace doesn't and not doing whatever MySpace does (well, maybe doing a few things better, and adding a few Friendsterish things like fan-relations into the stew... but always looking over the shoulder?
I know about that sort of thing, I have trouble dropping grudges, but what possible grudge can this website hold- makes me ponder.)
A mid-20th-century sociologist, David Riesman, talked about inner- and other-directedness, I believe. I think there's something important, there.
