Unfortunately I don’t have the answer… I have the same pblm: they say I’m not eligible, though I wrote all my true informationms… Weird, and frustrating…! Anyone has a clue how to do it?!

Well, I spent last 30mins to figure it out… I used to try firefox and i succeeded with IE 6.
Maybe this helps…

My Space is in top #10 of most searched queries in Google in 2007. Pretty impressive for a competing search engine isn’t it? :)

I signed up for myspace a year ago, I didn’t start using the thing until recently. It is very boring, though part of the audience they want to draw, I find it to be a popularity contest. Everyone who is on there wants more friends then they can handle, and just comments to boost their ego. I don’t like the site, mostly keep it for the REAL friends I have, and not those robots. Myspace is all made up of robotic people.
Of all the things you encounter you find people who like leave tons of messages and ridiculous posts, and older people trying to hit on younger kids, which you mostly find with older guys and younger girls. There are so many pervs running around, I don’t think I’d use myspace for anything useful besides wasting time and energy. As you go on you find that nothing is really private about the site, so you have to imput ridiculous codes just to monitor your site from picture hackers, and comment stalkers.

I use myspace for the forums and group features more than blogging or networking. It has will continue to have no substance of you don’t put any in the forums or groups.

We started a MySpace site to promote our site about 10 days ago. It took a couple of days of hard work and frustration to figure it out, but we have seen a HUGE boost in traffic already and are going to boost our efforts on the site. I’m 33 and I figured it out, so it is more than possible with an open mind.

I’m going on 33 – I know what you mean, Rae!

I had never heard of MySpace, myself, until I was invited to join a networking group that one of my forum members started there. I signed up expecting it to be somewhat like Ryze. Boy was I ever wrong! LOL

The networking group hasnt done much, that I know of. Or at least I havent figured out how to find that out. BUT, after a little bit of time I did get some use out of my MySpace account.

I found a couple of my old friends there, which was fun. I was able to see all of their recent photos, read up on what’s going on with them now, and surf through their “connections”. After that, I added my high school & graduation date… and began finding old school friends!

I am getting a crazy mix of contacts, all of which are interesting. Some are business questions, or business discussions. Some are locals that just want to ‘connect’ – or invite me to local gigs, events, etc. Some are old friends. Some are new friends.

And on top of that, it’s a fun spot to keep up with the teens in the family. I have nieces and stepdaughters that are always posting hilarious pics (that they take with their camera phones – go figure) and new little sayings or whatever.

It’s not something I check out every day… but what little interaction I have there has been pretty neat. The only thing I hate is badly done custom profiles. They take forever to load, blare obnoxious music, and the sections and text are just floating all over the place. Other than that, it’s okay by me for what it is.

MySpace made me feel old. I mean, I “get” it, but, I guess I’m just not the right age group. Geez – when did 28 going on 29 get old?

I use myspace all the time. Its one of the best places to find desperate girls who want to get laid. hmm… not sure if im allowed to write this but that has been my expireance.

I, too, recently signed up for a Myspace account. Mostly, I did it out of curiosity. I found it confusing, poorly designed, and of questionable benefit. But I stuck with it, and quickly discovered it’s a valuable resource through which to connect with the target audience of my web site. For me, it’s not about raking in anonymous “friends.” It’s about communicating with people who are interested in the things I produce for a living. The more people who add me, the more people I reach, and the more people I might work with in the future. Like with any online experience, I focus on what I like and ignore the rest.

Myspace has been great in helping bands get a bit of attention and along with that where many people go to help promote something as simple as a website and it turns more into promoting Myspace. Currently the have 60 million plus users and many people have earned lots and lots of money from this site, but it can make one Myspace out. I have found tagworld.com more fresh and since there are less then 2 million users it has more dedicated people.

I played with it a bit myself and found out that it is not for me at all.

I tried it out after getting a bunch of traffic coming from mySpace to a dinosaur site my son and I created (linked under my name). I was very surprised by the traffic we were getting so I created a mySpace account and just like you I didn’t get it.

I also could not figure out how to find a link to our dinosaur site in mySpace. It would be great to know exactly where that traffic was coming from.

Anyway, it’s not my cup of tea, but then again I am not the target market either.

After reading this, I decided to have a look for myself.
HA:
“We�re sorry. Based on the information you have submitted to us, you are ineligible to register on MySpace.com.”

Well the info they requested told them that I’m a man in my thirties living in Massachusetts, USA, so obviously I can’t join, (???)

Charming how they can’t even render the apostrophe in the above message.
Then I checked the TOS to see why I might have been rejected.

“HTTP Error 404 – File or directory not found.”

Class act.

I was asked to set up a myspace account for someone – I found the whole experience clunky and confusing with possibly the worst UI I’ve ever come across. I’m sticking to typepad!
