Goodbye MySpace.com

Just think of all of those college kids who won't be able to keep up with their friends two doors down from them in the dorms. What are they going to do now?

They might actually have to walk 15 feet down the hall!!

Texas College Bans MySpace.com

(AP) Del Mar College students now have to use computers outside the school's system if they want to visit the popular Web site MySpace.com.

The community college has blocked the site in response to complaints about sluggish Internet speed on campus computers.

An investigation found that heavy traffic at MySpace.com was eating up too much bandwidth, said August Alfonso, the school's chief of information and technology. Forty percent of daily Internet traffic at the college involved the site, he said.

This kid has a good point.

"We pay for school and the resources that are used," said Zeke Santos, 20. "It's our choice, we're the ones paying for our classes. If we pass or fail, it's up to us."

However, those same kids who say, "I'm paying for it," often blame the school for their academic failure.

As for me, if you want to track me down, you won't be able to find me on MySpace. You'll have to go back to the stone age of email.
