Sorry, but somewhere I heard that just by visiting a MySpace site you can get a virus, due to an advert

Not true! No viruses from Myspace. It’s safe.
Phil, you’ll be going into my Top 20!

You never get me there. It is require on MySpace to have ugly profiles.

[...] I just read about the GLAST satellite’s MySpace page on the BadAstronomy blog.Â For many reasons, this is very cool.Â As a kid I was constantly seeking out new info on astronomy news, reading countless books and magazines.Â Imagine how geeky I could have been had I had these types of resources.Â I wish I were 12 again!Â [...]

Sorry, but somewhere I heard that just by visiting a MySpace site you can get a virus, due to an advert and nobody here has addressed this, so I will not be visiting as the PC engineer I used last time seems to have gone out of business

“Do you really want to add The Bad Astronomer as a friend?”

hmmm….

“Click “Add” only if you really wish to add The Bad Astronomer as a Friend.”

Oh, all right… added. Seemed like MySpace was trying to tell me something there, though.

I prefer Facebook to MySpace, but it looks like I my have to start using MySpace if more and more sattelites have them!

If GLAST, or its team, was given a university email address it could join facebook. So can BA, for that matter, since he is at a University and thus must be able to get a university email address.

I remember when myspace was called GEOCITIES. This isn’t some new invention. Personally, I don’t see the point. This site of yours is amazing. Not really sure what making another site on some big site servers adds to the party.

I heard some perv in Ohio tried to get GLAST to meet him at a Denny’s in Akron.

Dang probophiles!

The picture of Phil with the gnome in his ear is priceless.

Is it safe to view MySpace pages, I heard that there was an advert on there that planted viruses on your PC

I’m disappointed that you haven’t Phil. Especially with all the stuff about the TOS coming back to television with “spiffed up” effects.

Star Trek, you mean? Yeah, I didn’t blog about it. I probably should have. Sigh.

The Mars Rovers had livejournals (unofficailly), which were mostly a joke with a few facts sprinkled in. I think this works much better. More space hardware MySpace pages!
