MySpace Falling Apart, Apparently
So I received this e-mail from the MySpace folks:
Hey everybody,
Musicians, comedians and filmmakers move over — MySpace now has a section for Books!
We also have lots of events going on this summer, so keep an eye out for MySpace in your town!
-Tom
Fascinating. Great. I have books. I would love to put them in the Books section.
Only trouble is…there's no place to do that, as I learned when I poked around. No idea. So…I e-mailed support. I asked them: how do I add my book to the Books section?
The response was:
Hello!
To change your email your e-mail address go to "Account Settings." Start by clicking on "Home" in the top navigation menu from any MySpace web page. Once on your personal home page, click on "Account Settings," appearing in the upper left portion of the page, next to your picture. You will be taken to your "Account Settings" page. Once there, type in the new email address you want to use and click on "Change". You will receive an email to your old address asking you to confirm the email change. Follow the link in the email and confirm the code and your email will be changed.
If you do not have access to your old email account, please reply to this email with the old email address, the password for the account and the email address you want to change it to.
So I e-mailed back: "Hi…is this in answer to my question about how to put a book into the MySpace books area?"
In response I received the same damn e-mail. So I just sent a third request saying not to send me the same damn e-mail again but to actually answer my question.
Or I tried, anyway. When trying to submit, I received a bigass error:
Server Error in '/' Application.
——————————————————————————–Runtime Error
Description: An application error occurred on the server. The current custom error settings for this application prevent the details of the application error from being viewed remotely (for security reasons). It could, however, be viewed by browsers running on the local server machine.
Talk about not ready for primetime. Jesus.
Somebody wake me when they get their shit together, would you?

Mike: No offense, but what the hell are you talking about? You're not contacting me for MySpace support, are you?
Oh my god, am I so glad I stumbled on to this post, especially AOL Mikes comment. Maybe the mysterious "Tom" has redirected myspace support requests as comments to your article?
Kieron: That's a scary notion right there.
