Book excerpt: A slightly different look at the world's largest social networking and fifth largest English-speaking portal, filled with literally hundreds of facetious annotations that will leave you snickering, if not rollicking. Seen through Kennedy's penetrating (often merciless) eye, this is a book that will show you another reality- the virtual and the absurd, as offered by the actual members themselves. Is this an exposé? Not quite. This is where you will find a rather large "sample" of those Spacers, who are so eager to find "Mr. Right," fame and fortune, or just their fifteen minutes in the world's limelight, exposing themselves, quite unlike you may have expected. Don't credit the author(s); credit the members themselves for making it all possible...Newcomers, as well as those who've been around MySpace for awhile, will find this snippet of societal arrogance and self-centeredness simply irresistible.
