Can Social Media Hipster Save Myspace?

Forget Justin Timberlake! You know who can "bring sexy back" to Myspace*? According to this clever webcomic by Matt Melvin of Cyanide and Happiness, it's social media hipsters.

After all, bell bottoms came back, so why not vintage social networking?

*Yes, folks - they're previously MySpace, now Myspace ... that website's not only gradually losing capital, its also losing capital letters)


Anyone who actually cares about not having potential employers, God, and everyone else find out every detail of your life that you didn't want everyone else to know avoids social network sites like the plague. Most people simply have no idea at all of the privacy rights they're handing over, or the kind of trouble they can get into. Imagining you can avoid it all by adjusting "privacy settings" is laughable.

Last time I went there (for some reason) it was my______ it not only lost another capital letter, but a whole word.

Nolan: it's "It's". It is vintage social networking. Possession barely makes any sense in that phrase.

I don't do social media, period. I don't do twitter, facebook, myspace, bebo, linkedin, etc etc etc. Texting seems to me to be a huge waste of time because I use this amazing gadget called a "telephone".

It's incredible- you can actually TALK to a person and HEAR them just like they were in the SAME ROOM!!!

(And yes, 'baro' is right- the use of "IT'S" is correct in the cartoon. Possession makes no sense at all in that phrase.)

nolan-----ummm did you really just tried to correct a comic strip?
mike----u still have a telephone? i joke i joke....
ugh i so dislike all those social outlets....i see so many people just posting so much of their faces and you just know in your heart that they want you to comment on it to tell them how perfect they are....i think the world is turning for the worse....it is all about me me me
and for all the people who put just pics of their faces...listen up...you look the same it's just a different day or hair color...nobody cares...lol

I think Nolan was correcting my description "... webcomic by Matt Melvin of Cyanide and Happiness, it's social media hipsters" not the comic.

I think the use of "it is" is correct here, though I admit that I'm wrong more than half the time. :)

Alex, you were right.
Nolan was wrong.

I think Nolan was reading a possessive, when from the context, its "it's" is obviously short for "it is", isn't it?
