   As a Sidekick user who reads Techdirt a ton (why is the mobile vers. not available as an rss feed??), I would love to see your link/source for the Sidekick data. I am not a MySpace user (gasp) but I also thought it didn't work much at all with the Sidekick either.

   Sorry, I should have cited this WSJ story there.
   
   "While tricky to reach before the launch of the service with Cingular, MySpace already has proved to be a popular destination on cellphones. The site has consistently been among the top five search terms on Cingular's wireless portal. T-Mobile USA, owned by Deutsche Telekom AG, says MySpace is the most popular site among its customers who use Sidekick, a mobile device that allows for relatively easy text messaging and Web browsing."

   my space is for egotistical losers who think having "friends" on a list makes them cool. aside from the handful of people who actually use it to contact old friends (which can be done in a number of other ways), there's no real point to myspace except to polish one's delusion of grandeur. it's all about the stage in life that occurs prior to realizing that superficial relationships are meaningless.

   Myspace is also for ninjas and the ghosts of famous baseball players from the 20's.

   BTW after some testing, I was not able to get into many deep link pages, browsing etc on the Sidekick 3. Just for accuracy purposes.

   PhysicsGuy has no friends or social life

   I know him personally and he really doesn't. It is sad. And he had a girlfriend in 1987 but she broke up with him because she didn't want to talk about angular momentum and its use in planetary motion. She just wanted to watch 21 Jump Street.

    Physics Guy is right

    Physics Guy is right - his naysayers are just to shallow to ever understand. Yes, You.

    Not all users of MySpace are egotisical losers. Some people use it to keep in touch with their friends. Not all of us have the same luxury to be friends with other losers that never moved away from home, live in the basement and pleasure themselves to physics textbooks.

    PhysicsGuyIsRight has no friends either

    I know this guy too and he is a tool. No one likes him and he never can get a joke. He smells and his mom dresses him funny.
    
    You know myspace had more hits than ebay and is right under Google as the most visited website. I don't think there are that many emo kids out there. Maybe some people don't get it because it is a social networking website and they have no social skills anyway.

    not really exclusive

    

    MrShoop, Dec 19th, 2006 @ 3:11pm

    
    

    It is exclusive like Winning 11 is exclusive on Xbox - for a limted tim in a limited region. Article says, "MySpace says the partnership with Cingular, a joint venture between AT&T Inc. and BellSouth Corp., is exclusive for several months. MySpace says it is likely to roll out partnerships with the other major wireless carriers next year."

    ...and that's why to this day i despise 21 jump street. planets sweeping equal distance in equal time due to gravity is far more interesting. :)
