I am not one to complain but MySpace Sucks to advertise on when you have a limited budget. Sure...the $10,000 campaigns work fine, but what about the small guys?
I ran a 1 week campaign (cost-per-click). My ad got shown 12,000 times total.
Sounds great, right?
Here is the kicker....
Day 1 - 2000 times
Day 2 - 2000 times
Day 3 - 0 times
Day 4 - 0 times
Day 5 - 8000 times
I had 0 clicks originally. This was back in January. Now yesterday, I got a $4 charge from MySpace from 'clicks' that occurred back in January. WTF! Seriously? That late on charging? On top of it....MySpace didn't show any clicks until March? And even stranger....the last day my ad runs, I get over 8000 views when the previous 4 days I got only 2000 or none.
So now, I have to pay $4 for something that I think is bullshit.
All I am saying.....the original bill showed 0 clicks. 2 months later, suddenly 4 clicks appear?

What happened to 92.3 K-Rock Radio
Anyone realize that driving home around 5pm, 92.3 is commercial free Z100 type music????
What happened?
I personally dont like it.
I mean....it is great that it is commercial free and all, but we have z100 to hear that type of music.
It was crazy when I 1st heard it...I put on 92.3 (thinking it is k-rock) and before I even realized....Britney Spears' Circus was playing. I was like....."WTF. I thought I changed the channel." I put back on 92.3, and yup...Britney Spears' Circus was playing. I started laughing thinking....what happened? But it has been this way for almost a week now.
I think they should go back to rock music at least.
Yea...just my opinion...Thoughts?

Fla. firefighters honored for water rescue
By Jerome Burdi
The Sun Sentinel, Fort Lauderdale, Fla.
BOCA RATON, Fla. — With 6- to 8-foot waves crashing on them, Fire-Rescue workers pushed through the inlet to save people whose boat had capsized.
For their bravery in rescuing three people that Memorial Day weekend, the firefighters — Capt. Todd Stewart, Donnie Horn and Tomas Martin — received their department's 2008 Firefighter of the Year Award.
The men surveyed the inlet earlier that day, May 26, and hoped there wouldn't be any calls.
"We said, 'If we get a call today, we're not going to go out,'" Martin said.
The police have a boat better equipped for rescues in rough waters than the Fire-Rescue Department's 28-foot rigid-hull inflatable.
But, as firefighters say, instinct took over.
"When the call comes down, you just go," Horn said.
They were sitting down to a steak dinner when the call came.
Boater Juan Ras, 48, of Plantation, took his 32-foot boat out on the clear, windy day but decided the waves were too strong and tried to head back, police said. That's when another wave came smashing in, flipping the boat and sending six people without life vests, including a pregnant woman, into the ocean. They were about 100 yards south of the inlet. To keep the Fire-Rescue boat from capsizing, Horn pushed the boat into oncoming waves.
"I wanted to keep the wind and waves hitting my bow," he said, fearing a sideswiping wave would leave the rescuers in need of a rescue. When they got to the capsized boat, Ras and two women were hanging on a boat-tube. While taking in water, the Fire-Rescue workers pulled all three into their boat, including the pregnant woman.
"They were hysterical, they were crying," Martin said.
The women, Ana Balcazar, who was pregnant, and Orfa Coral, 57, both of Oakland Park, were taken to the hospital but survived. They could not be reached to comment Saturday, despite attempts by phone.
Of the other three on the capsized boat: one person had made it to shore with the help of a personal watercraft rider, and a private boat rescued two others.
Boca Raton Fire-Rescue spokesman Frank Correggio said the agency trains for water rescues but doesn't often get calls for them.
