It's USELESS! YAY!

[Jack Zodiac]

Myspace for comic book geeks? Nifty.

[Starba]

I'm hoping they'll get around to adding the comics section soon. Then it'll be a LITTLE less useless, but a helluva lot more of an addicting time waster. ^_^

[TomStillwell]

It's a great thing.

i have a page now!

It's USELESS! YAY!

http://www.comicspace.com/gailsimone/

yeah, it is .

It's been nice for my ego, that so many folks wanted to link to me, but right now, I don't see the point of what it can do, that my space sin't already doing.

[The Xenos]

I'm tempted to try it, as I'm interested in working in the comic industry to some degree. Yet I never got into myspace, so I'm not too keen on it.

[Erik Burnham]

Yeah, useless at the moment.

But it IS just a week old. I think once there are more interactive and comic-specific things added, it'll be a little bit better for all concerned. (The comics hosting and a blog feature would do just fine. And optional bulletins...)

The biggest plus on this is having a specific focus. That's always nice, or so I'm told.

They're supposed to add an updates notice for webcomics soonish, as well as the ability to host samples... it's from the creators of http://www.onlinecomics.net , a big webcomics directory.

But yeah, for now it's pretty much useless. Except for stalking! WHEEEEEEE!
You're good at the stalking, Gail ^_^ And I want some Magic Peach PIE!

[TomStillwell]

Well, for one, we're not getting spammed with bad band invites, innane surveys, or gay porn ads. That's scares off many people. Unless you really like gay porn.

Also, I think we're going to find a lot more creators trying out Comic Space who would never use myspace because of its reputation.

[Gail Simone]

No, no, no...I'm not saying comicspace is useless, I'm saying my PAGE is useless. It's stupid, because I personally am stupid!

comicspace.com is kinda fun!

Gail

[Gail Simone]

People don't link to you because they like you, John. It's because of your fearsome, Hedda Hopper-like ability to destroy people's careers at the drop of a bustier.

Gail

[PatrickG]

He needs to learn how to carry bustiers without dropping them.

[Dr Manolis Dooplove]

as if every single comics creator on the planet didn't already have a myspace account :P

i'm signed up too now: www.comicspace.com/manolis !!

(also www.myspace.com/lysad :) )

now to actually put something on it

[Gail Simone]

I don't have a myspace account.

Breasts seem to do the trick.

[titanfan]

No, no, no...I'm not saying comicspace is useless, I'm saying my PAGE is useless. It's stupid, because I personally am stupid!


Like 90% of all pages on the net are useless though. (If not higher!) It doesn't stop anyone from going there!!!

[Hybrid2]

your intro blew up my mind!

:D

[Dr Manolis Dooplove]

I don't have a myspace account.

Gail

outcast!!!

:eek:

you just made myspace uncool :mad:

It's a beautiful day in this neighborhood -- won't you be mine won't you be my neighbor?

comicspace.com is kinda fun!

Gail

Yea, it is really fun.... and the comments allow for lots of cartoony socializing. I can't wait till they get the rest of the features up and working.

Tom's point about creators is a good one. I'd never use MySpace, but comicspace seems a lot more fun, and skeeve free :) Another webcartoonist I know set up a MySpace, and within a day had PM's asking if she's really married [it's still good as a promotional tool though, skeeviness notwithstanding].

I miss Mr.Rogers

[TomStillwell]

I really like that you can "tag" yourself as a writer, artists, etc. It sure helps with networking.

I'm networked with just about every comic industry person who I could find or could find me on myspace. I'm seeing a lot of industry people that aren't on myspace from what I can tell. People like Steve Rude, Dave Gibbons, Gail, etc.

[Dr Manolis Dooplove]

thenonly annoying thing about myspace is all the music bands bothering me every day :(

i like the tagging, i cant wait for the next features that will set it more apart from myspace

[siuntres]

People don't link to you because they like you, John. It's because of your fearsome, Hedda Hopper-like ability to destroy people's careers at the drop of a bustier.

Gail

HA! Hedda Hopper (how many besides you and me know who that is?)

Oh yeah, I'm a freakin king (and queen) maker :rolleyes:

As for comicspace, I'm sure the bells and whistles will happen soon.

[hellokittykat]

That looks just like MySpace! MySpace makes my skin crawl. I don't know if I can get past that to make a page there.

Although we should all go over there to make pages and warn these people who want to be listed as friends what it's like to have to listen to Gail's insanity every day.:eek:

[Brandon Hanvey]

I was there when it was cool. ;)

[amboy00]

I don't have a myspace account.

Gail
I knew I liked you for a reason!

I feel like I'm on MySpace out of obligation to my friends. That's why I tend to stick around LJ instead.

It'll be interesting to watch comicspace and what becomes of it.

[PatrickG]

Is it just me or is their site down?

[big_dippin]

I like the idea. Heres my page. Its totally plain though.

http://www.comicspace.com/big_dippin

[DungeonmasterJim]

I joined there the other day. I'm always reminded of Groucho Marx's comments 'I'd never join a group that would have me'. LOL!

http://comicspace.com/JamesRoberts/

Gail accepted me as a friend. I guess she has no common sense. :D

I blindly accpeted as a friend something that seems to be a phallic symbol with a hat or something. Maybe I should get rid of that one.

I have a MySpace under my comic's title The Necropolis Chronicles but I only go there/sign in maybe once every three months.

DM Jim

[MacQuarrie]

HA! Hedda Hopper (how many besides you and me know who that is?)
* raises hand *

I also know who Louella Parsons is. And Walter Winchell. And, more recently, Rona Barrett.

God, I'm pathetic.

[MacQuarrie]

I've learned from MySpace. I'm not adding anybody to my friends list unless I know them or have had some previous interaction with them. So far I've denied about 5 people.

[sk716]

Well, for one, we're not getting spammed with bad band invites, innane surveys, or gay porn ads. That's scares off many people. Unless you really like gay porn.

Also, I think we're going to find a lot more creators trying out Comic Space who would never use myspace because of its reputation.

You can block all of that in your Account Preferences. I did and the spam has dropped drastically.


Sweet, I got props on Gail's comicspace page. In light of that, I should really get the Index updated.

[PatrickG]

Pornbots!

I apparently rejected some real people on myspace. I felt bad but the bots have become so prevalent that I'm extra cautious now.

I pretty much only accept comic fans and people I know now.

[Tad Sivana]

I know who Louella Parsons is too, MacQuarrie....
Hey! Wait a minute!

[Tad Sivana]

Man! You must really be OLD!

[TomStillwell]

<sigh>

More reasons for me to feel old.

So these people are gossip columnists? **Took me a minute.**

They all died years before I was born. :rolleyes:

You guys aren't really old enough to remember them well, are you?

no, most by reputation.

wichell, hopper and parsons were from the 1930's-1950's .

hopper and parsons were wrapped up in the controversey over citizen kane.

however rona barett was in my wheelhouse

[Nicola Scott]

OK, I've signed up too.

http://www.comicspace.com/nicola/

Now, what do I do with it? can I post art on it?

[Cam63]

If that don't work, try Paul Simon.

OK, I'm slapping myself for that.

[Gail Simone]

OK, I've signed up too.

http://www.comicspace.com/nicola/

Now, what do I do with it? can I post art on it?


That's what's so great...you can't really do anything yet!

:)

Do you have a gallery, Nicola? You can link to it!

Gail

[matterconsumer]

I'm all for Nicola posting art...somewhere! Go, go, go!

And Gail I'm going to tell God one day what you said about me not going to hell :)

[steeler80]

I'm there:

http://www.comicspace.com/crismans/

Come on by and tell me something, make fun of me.

You know, whatever. ;)

[Karen El]

I just signed up (http://www.comicspace.com/karen_ellis/) and got four friend requests before I'd finished setting up my profile. Are people like sitting there waiting for someone to sign up so they can add them to their collection?

I had just hopped on the site to return a comment to a friend when I recognized your artwork in one of the avatars on the front page. So, since you were right there...

Gail... as for what you'll be able to do with ComicSpace. Well, I've had my webcomics listed at Josh's other site (onlinecomics.net) for a couple of years now, and he does a good job of adding helpful features (and he takes his time to test new features out really well before going live with them). I'm sure he's got some good ideas he's developing for the site... and if you have suggestions that would make the site even more useful, he's always seemed like the kind of person to listen to others in order to provide people with extras they can use.

[estee]

Gail is my friend now!

Happy days!

Oh, I'm not bashing the site, I think it's really fun! I know more stuff is coming, but just waving to friends is fun, too.

Yeah... it's good to see a bunch of people from a bunch of different comic-related message boards (and people I've met at conventions) all in one place.

And the first new feature just showed up. Now you can reply to specific comments made on your comicspace page. That's one feature I always wished myspace had.

[Crowley]

I'm there now:
http://www.comicspace.com/crowley/

[Matt Linton]

I'm there pimping my currently defunct webcomics (stoopid GIMP). It looks like there'll be webcomic hosting at some point. Is that right?

Oh, and:

And in the tradition of Myspace...Thanks for the adds Gail and Tom!

[Reverend Smooth]

You can now put up comic galleries. :3

[PatrickG]

My gallery is up, BTW.

[PatrickG]

HOLY MACKERAL!

I want to read Neitzsche Falling #1 by James Ritchey and Danny Donovan.

I have a handful of reasons why I don't think Image will take it. But I submitted to Image mindful of my own chances of rejection.

You look all intense in your user pic/avatar/whatever. XD

[Red Jack]

I was actually dubious about the idea when it was first floated but I'm pleased to be proven wrong. No spam. No "date" ads. Just people of reasonably like minds collected?

Not bad.

Not bad at all.

Oh. And I'm Winterman, if I didn't say so before.

[Eliseu Gouveia]

Glad to see more people joining.

ʹm there as well (http://www.comicspace.com/zeu/) :)

[Sarah Beach]

Geoff, duh, you could just include a link to your ComicSpace. ;) :p

You know, like this: http://www.comicspace.com/sarahbeach/

Because I'm not above shameless self-promotion either.

But yeah, it's becoming more and more interesting for networking, and just seeing what's out there! Very promising.

[Red Jack]

I think my sig is already bloated enough.

(and INFINITEENS RULES!)

[Hybrid2]

I'm in there to!

http://www.comicspace.com/hybrid2/

ok.i'm not in the industry....
but i think about comics all the time.:p

also got my AIM back on.
