Syzlak’s SEM

News from the front!  There’s a (relatively) new social site out there, and Syzlak just got hit up for his hard earned advertising money.  Foolishly, i joined the site after getting off the phone with a man that after correctly spelling Joshua, uttered this phrase

Awesome, I’m on it today.

Really?

No, really? Joshua? It’s not as hard to spell as your name (Douchebag Johnson), and i think it’s been around longer.  The site, PerfSpot, appears to be a typical social website akin to MySpace, Facebook, or Virb; however, PerfSpot has a slight edge on the competition by combining aspects of Twitter, Digg, YouTube, Blogger and LastNightsParty.  All in all, it’s really a great idea…except that it took a sales guy to inform me that they existed, and they run you through about 30 opt-out ads and 3 pages of opt-out forms. Oh, that, and after i signed up i noticed that just like Digg, Twitter, and MySpace - it’s overrun with sex and juvenility.

So, now i pose the question:

Are we, as an online society, more prone to deviance and childish tendencies, or is this just a tactic employed by social hounds in order to further their personal gains, thus leading us to a world filled with horrid content on social networks?
