Viewing Hidden Comments and Friend Lists

Many MySpacers try to hide their comments and friend lists. I'm not sure why because this defeats the purpose of using MySpace to begin with. Perhaps they want to remain anonymous and still comment on other people's MySpace. At any rate, there is a way to view them even if they are hidden. To do so, check out these simple instructions.

How To Use MySpace If Your School Or Work Blocks Access

Many schools and other institutions have blocked access to MySpace because they believe that MySpace is bad. Well, the Internet is a democracy and you have the right to view any website you want. If your school or work has blocked MySpace, don't worry because there are ways to easily get around it. To access MySpace from a blocked location, try one of the following:

• Setup an SSH Tunnel.


• Use Google Translator.


• Use a Proxy. A proxy allows you to view a site without the network being aware that you are viewing the site. There are many proxy services out there, just do a google search for proxy to find them. I've had the best luck with the following:
  http://www.anonymizer.com/
  http://www.hidemyass.com/
  http://www.cecid.com/
  http://www.thewebtunnel.com/
  https://proxify.biz/


• Access MySpace through Google's cache. Go to google.com and do a search for myspace.com. Google will show you a list with the first item being myspace.com. Click on the link next to it that says "Show Google's cache of myspace.com".


• Try a different site prefix. Instead of going to www.myspace.com, try going to home.myspace.com.


• Try using circumventor, a program that gets around the site filter.


• Go to the hottest girl you know and ask her to find your network administrator (they are usually lonely geeks). Tell her to flirt with him and seduce him into removing the network restriction that is keeping you from accessing MySpace. Ha!

Tattoos And MySpace

If you like Tattoos and you are into MySpace, you are in luck! There is a ton of MySpacer's that have dedicated their pages to the ancient art of Tattoo. Some of my personal favorites are:

http://www.myspace.com/scarwars

Enjoy and feel free to add to the list!~

Matisyahu on MySpace

Jewish Reggae? At first the idea sounds kind of crazy, but all I can say is Matisyahu is super dope! Matisyahu is a hasidic jewish rapper from Brooklyn who is generating a ton of buzz lately. He can rap like the best of them and his sound is fresh. Reggae music has always been pretty spiritual so it makes sense for Matisyahu to use reggae to spread his word. If you haven't heard him yet, check Matisyahu out on MySpace.

...System of a Down on MySpace

System of a Down is such an incredibly talented band with an out there sound. I was thrilled to come across System Of A Down's MySpace. They give away all sorts of stuff on MySpace from videos to song downloads. I highly recommend checking them out...

Wilco is a great band who seem to have taken over the world in the last year. I love their style of Rock N Roll. It was a sweet day when I discovered that Wilco is a MySpace band. So stop by Wilco's MySpace and have a listen to some of their stuff, you'll love it!

Beck is one of my favorite musicians. He never ceases to reinvent himself in new and cool ways. This is especially true on his new album Guerolito which you can streem on MySpace.
