Using Google to quantify annoying MySpace memes

Or something like that. This wonderful person has done a detailed analysis of MySpace using Google and its various query triggers.

It all started when I wanted to find a reason why the core of my Internet-saturated being hates Myspace. For fun one day, I searched within Myspace’s profiles for the following phrases:

  • 9620: “I’m going to kill myself”
  • 72,000: “I’m rick James Bitch”
  • 3,100,000: wierd
  • Man! This is fun, thought I.

This got me started on a torturous hour of minimally scientific research to discover exactly why Myspace is for the most part a heaping pile of hot garbage. I started writing.
