So MySpace dumped me

Just when I was starting to feel good about myself, MySpace has deleted my account. I don't have confirmation from them, but I'm pretty sure. I sent an inquiry but according to a couple of friends, even if I get an answer, I'm SOL. The profile I had my web people design is gone. My 1000+ friends are gone.

I'm bummed. I'm sure I get my web people to put it back but I don't have the time to or desire to go back and do the friend hunt thing. It took me months to get all those. I'm not sure what good it did me but according to my stats I got some traffic from there.

And I don't understand. I never put anything that would be unsuitable for the underaged on there. My book cover, a recipe widget thingie. My whiny or celebratory posts. Some recipes of mine. What's the harm in that?

I wonder if this has happened to other authors. Should I do Facebook? Should I try to blog more?

Should I stick with my day job? lol

Ah well. Good news, bad news. Maybe this will mean good news is next. How neat would that be?

Buenos noches,

Lauren

Unbelievable...what losers, to have dumped you! I was spammed and had questionable stuff sent to me all the time and they never did anything when a guy sent some very scary pictures to me...

I don't really like myspace anymore. I love Facebook. I have a fan page on there and it is working well for me--much better than myspace.
