I do have a snooty attitude towards MySpace. The last time I went there, I reached for my air sickness bag. Design-wise, it drives me nuts. But there are a passionate group of users there. There are lots of lessons to learn from MySpace, maybe not about design, but definitely on how to build community. Marcuse,
