I was gonna go for Chernobyl/Pripyat as a source
but judging by the Ferris wheel, it looks like someone might have had fun there one time.

I'd love to visit, get some photos/sketches.
But it probably costs a bomb, and requires loads of paperwork. And of course, it's very dangerous.

It's just one of the places I plan to visit once I leave uni.
It'll probably take me a bit to afford most of 'em, like Iceland, and seeing as though I don't want to move out until student loan's paid off, that could be a bit of a problem.

you'll probably have a page on there this year
it's having a huge amount of money thrown at it at the moment

I know a few local bands who still use it
but I don't know anyone who still uses it for social networking. But I'll be damn impressed if they top Facebook, Twitter etc.

was it for social networking before?
I thought it was a promo tool for bands and artists to upload their music pictures and videos to.

I maybe wrong....
But i'm sure it started as just a social network blog. then they added the myspace music blog later on, and now that's what it's mainly used for.

That's more or less what it is now, but most people are buggering off to Soundcloud, Bandcamp, etc.
