Group of kids with an RSS feed, trying to be better than myspace.

Recently a rival network ( against myspace ) has recently begun. Under the name of
Random Shapes, I suggest you view there website, It has a great design and a great goal. Although after reviewing, and reading, I find Random Shapes completely pointless. There really is no point to it, Its really nothing but a center column that links to other peoples blogs. And the point for it is ??? According to the creators its supposed to be better than myspace, much more exciting, as well as a rebellion against the common statistic? Pretty much the steps are as follows:
You send a request with your BLOGS URL.
They review it, if it is inactive, or just not good enough, your are then rejected.
I tried, not that I wanted to join because there is no point in the whole Random Shapes network, but I just wanted to check out there registering methods.
Overall a few teens created this site, trying to ccreate something better than myspace. Laugh Out Loud, random shapes doesnt stand a change, as well as the fact that its based on a pretty little design and some RSS and webstandard coding as well as some possible Java. They honestly dont stand a chance, first off Myspace is easy to sign up with, you dont need your own blog, and acceptance is 100% garunteed, yea thats right folks....you dont need to go cry to your mommy cause you didnt get accepts, INSTEAD go to myspace. Random Shapes isnt for the common teen, its for teens who are into having there own blogs as well as some sort of creative talent on the web.
Lets look at a chart shall we?
Myspace provides:
Acceptance is immediate,
There is no wait,
No need to have a blog, just an email.
There is:
You can add your friends and have a network of friends
You can add pictures, as well as comment on others as well.
You can post music, and also comment on others peoples profiles.
Add color, and such, and control your top 8.

Random Shapes:
None of the above,
Acceptance takes 7 days,
Un-updated blogs are rejected,
you must have your own blog.
the whole net work idea is not that fascinating
you cant specifically add people as friends...

All random shapes is a column with link to other peoples blogs.. THATS IT
Just so people will know, the only reason I compare them to myspace is because them themselves compare themselves to myspace. But honestly they have nothing on the 4TH LARGEST WEBSITE IN THE WORLD WIDE WEB.
Not to mention that there only registered members, are the people that created the whole site.
Great motive, bad method.
I give Random Shapes a 4 out of 10.
