Tech Buzz It's as easy as pee! A clever explanation for how we use the various social networks we're addicted to surged on Reddit today in the form of this old image, made from an even older tweet. I decided to expand on the topic by updating the original and making a bit pretty, too. Add your own suggestions in the comments!
Let's revisit Myspace before you make that decision. You may find that the new Facebook doesn't seem so bad after all.

The latest spontaneous public musical from Improv Everywhere, this time a social media song and dance that breaks out at the GEL Conference. Catchy, nerdy and cute.
Culture Buzz Based on his old MySpace, Tom Hardy used to be kind of douchey? THE INTERNET NEVER FORGETS. I love how every time he tries to act like a gansgta, something in the background ruins the effect. (More pics here.)
Tech Buzz MySpace is probably shutting down permanently in June. These groups of people will probably be upset/devastated.

According to an invite sent to Mashable, Myspace and Facebook will be making a joint announcement today at noon. Can't imagine what it could be. With changes coming at a warp speed, imagine the social media in ten years. We might be looking at a social network for extra-terrestrials.

MySpace will roll out a brand new interface to its users beginning today. Everything from the homepage to profiles will transform MySpace from a social network into a “social entertainment destination.” Is this the right move? Take a look for yourself!

As a tribute to XKCD's “Map of Online Communities”, we have decided to re-create our own, updated version of this map. The numbers are taken to reflect many new developments in the social networking communities, including Facebook surpassing Myspace as the preeminent online community…

All this needs is a Diddy endorsement and I am sure it will go number one. Ke$ha better contact his people about a collab before the summer's over. (Via.)
Tech Buzz Super News shows us the hilarious and painfully true events chronicling the death of Myspace. (Via.)
Even on reality shows at the center of the cultural zeitgeist, “From MySpace to My Face” — one of many novelty tees sold at the seaside garbage store where the guidos and guidettes “work” — will undoubtedly steal the spotlight. Although nothing will ever come close to my favorite shirt, spotted at a state fair in rural Virginia, which featured the Warner Bros. logo and read, “If you see the cops, WARN A BROTHA.”
