Up from being on Wired (http://www.wired.com/news/wireservice/0,70501-0.html?tw=rss.index), now it's on /.!

That's still pretty neat, haha. While I contain an ultimate, eternal disdain for MySpace, I'm glad it actually has a practical use, other than ridding nuisances from the world for hours on end.

I've also found it contains the idiots to one webpage, versus letting them crawl out and infesting other forums/chat servers/etc.

Exactly. It's like a plague ridden pit!

I especially like this quote:

QuoteDetective Rich Wistocki of Naperville, Ill., has two profiles on MySpace: one under his real name (headline: Predator Catcher) and one under a pseudonym. "There's not a day that goes by that I'm not on there," he says. Each month, the site helps Wistocki solve three or four cases...

3 or 4 cases a day? Good for him. He's thinking with his head. "Hey, lots of teenagers bragging about doing illegal stuff to look cool for their friends all over this webpage? I might as well bust them for it."

It'll make people think twice about what they put on the internet.

The quote says each month, but that's still a spectacular source for evidence.

If you offer me a large enough sum (~$800, petty cash for investigators), I'll be happy to go undercover and nab Gamesnake for you.
