  • According to news reports, MySpace.com, a social-networking site with 70,000,000 members (including 400 students from Arlington Heights High School), is the third most visited website on the internet at present, just behind Yahoo! and Google. 

    All I needed to know to realize it's an internet phenomenum is that Dmitry's heard of it, and he doesn't get around much. 

    He's shown no interest in MySpace, but this ought not to be taken to mean he doesn't do the internet-social-networking thing...far from it!  He just does it on the MMOG, Tibia.  (MMOG = Massive Multiplayer Online Game, for the uninitiated.)  His two-fingered typing reaches fever pitch at times as he converses online with his friends.  Periodically he and Taylor will call out to each other that "So-and-so's here!" "Cool!"

    The other day Dmitry popped his weekly allowance plus another ten bucks to purchase one of those friends a premium Tibia membership, so said friend can fully participate in the game.  Dmitry has his faults, but he's generous.  ;^)

    According to an online article in the Fort Worth Star-Telegram, MySpace is overgrown and has begun that inevitable downward spiral, while one of the most up-and-coming places for on-line social interaction are, in fact, MMOG's.

    That Dmitry.  He's so cutting edge.

  • Happy Mother's Day! Sweet of you to post about your son.

  • Happy Mother's Day

    Robert is here telling me that MySpace is the most used website behind Google (I have no idea about these things). He's also telling me that MMOG is where my oldest son plays some War Craft game (my oldest son lives in California and doesn't tell me too much about the games he plays). Dmitry sounds like a wonderful boy (but I've always thought that).

  • Thanks, Hannah.

    I've heard of War Craft, but wasn't aware it was also an MMOG. Thought it came in a box from Best Buy?

    Unfortunately I am far from cutting edge. :^(

  • Maybe it is World Of Warcraft? My husband played that for awhile. I hate those games, at least the ones that you sit and play for hours to get anywhere. Like EQ> I am ANTI EQ!!!!!

    As for Myspace, Love it. We use it & most of my siblings are on it & we seem to interact more via that than we were before. Is that sad or what ?! ;)   I chcek my sisters account all the time to keep tabs on her too, its helpful for that !
