Time wasting is no fad and TagWorld does it best

I vividly remember being overwhelmed the first time I checked out MySpace. The front page was just so cluttered and I didn’t find it to be particularly intuitive. I figured out how to signup and played around a little, never going back unless my email told me I had a message, which was always from a local band wanting me to listen to their likely poor quality music. MySpace didn’t suck me in like it has sucked in millions around the world. I was shocked to hear that Myspace gets about as many hits a day as Google! To be fair, they’ve since improved their interface and continually do so, but the uptake of MySpace still baffles me.

I’m not knocking MySpace here; I’m just not that in to presenting my image to the world. This could be explained by the fact that I’m in the mid twenties phase of my life. MySpace is definitely doing something right, beating out Friendster for the community crown. MySpace packs in many cool features and is clearly a compelling tool to the 15-25 demographic, whom they are hauling in faster than they can overplay Kelly Clarkson songs on the radio. There is no doubt why many more players are emerging in the online community scene for a piece of the MySpace dominated pie.

One such contender is TagWorld, which I recently had the opportunity to check out. My initial impressions of TagWorld were completely the opposite from those of my first time with MySpace. My reaction can be summed up as “Ooooooh, pretty.” I’m just that simple. If something looks good and is easy to use then I’m sold. TagWorld also provides practically every Web 2.0 feature a teen with absolutely way too much time on their hands could want. Read a better review of TagWorld here. To sum things up, I find TagWorld to be way cooler than MySpace purely from an aesthetics and technology standpoint. Give it a shot, it's pretty.
