Next Friday my friend is throwing a Barack Obama victory party in Hoboken and decided to inform the world via Facebook Invite. She sent out the message this morning at 8:56AM then proceeded to send the invite again at 8:59AM, 9:32AM, 10:17PM and just a few minutes ago at 10:36PM – five times in a two hour span.

Annoying as hell, yes. Cocky as hell to set up an Obama celebration before the election, YES! – Facebook invite denied!

More to the point, I asked her to stop sending me these damn invites but she had no idea what I was talking about.

That is when I ran across Mashable’s Are You Getting Facebook Invite Spammed where tech guru Pete Cashmore tells us, “Facebook users have been reporting excessive invite mails over the past 3 days – between 3 and 5 mails are sent from Facebook for every event or group you’re invited to. The problem would appear to be site-wide, although we’ve yet to confirm that claim. So, let’s go ahead and ask: are you getting Facebook invite spammed?”

So are you getting Facebook Invite Spammed? Tell us about it in the comments…

We did it, world: through cutting-edge technology we have invented a canned cheeseburger.

Now before you get too excited, sit back for a second and realize this is it – we have reached the limits of human creativity. There is nothing left to invent, nothing left to do.

My only gripe is the canned burger’s Kalorien intake; it’s a bit high for my tastes. I’m trying to cut back on Kohlenhydrates too, but hey – beggars can’t be choosers, right? At least it’s not like Spam. Wait…

Next stop: free universal health care!

Oh, Myspace! How we love denying all your porn spam. How we love the hours we spend perusing your bad, drunken poetry and those lovely 3 a.m. photos of beer pong. Wait a second…

The next time we log in to MySpace, let’s just hit delete. January 30 is International Delete Your MySpace Account Day. The idea was started by Bloggasm’s Simon Owens, who realized life is too short to wait for excessive banner ads to load.

Do we really need to know when the kid who sits behind us in Chemistry class celebrates his birthday? Do we really enjoy all those crappy Kelly Clarkson songs blaring from random profiles? And let’s not even get into Top 8 drama. Think of the hours we could save by not stalking people online. Maybe we’d have time to study for that quiz after all. (more…)

The latest trend to hit Hollywood is celebrities hitting the keyboard and sharing their feelings through MySpace blogs. Its been getting so much buzz that MySpace created a special section on their site devoted to this specific trend called MySpace Celebrity.

Think of it as TMZ for MySpace featuring celebrity bloggers, exclusive video, behind-the-scenes content and celebrity news. Or think of it as celebrities infesting yet another part of our sad, normal lives. I’m gonna spam each and every one with **FreE riNGtoneS**~~ just out of spite.

I would say check it out, but in all honestly the site is pretty crap nowadays – but lord knows our MySpace Tramps love it oh-so very much.

No thanks, Fembot.

Online-dating sites, while fun and successful for those in the know, can be very daunting to your average, not-so-computer-savvy individual. Getting lost in the sea of PC-murdering spam and creepy come-hithers when looking for a date online is quite simple when you don’t have a clue what to do.

What gives, internet?

Bridging the gap between the informal, formal and humorous is WooMe, an intuitive way to meet people online in a more interactive fashion. (more…)

Once again MySpace proves why it’s an inferior digital music source.

Artists and user pages throughout the MySpace world have been viciously hacked by a Trojan virus.

Visitors of Alicia Keys MySpace click anywhere on her page and are redirected to “co8vd.cn/s” which asks the user to install video software by clicking “OK.” When the user chooses to install the “video software,” they upload a virus that allows hackers to take over their computer.

“They are going to catch a lot of people with this one,” said Roger Thompson, chief technology officer of Exploit Prevent Labs. “This is a a very rich media page, as are most MySpace pages. There is every expectation you are going to see a video… It’s not at all unreasonable to think you might have to install something.” (more…)

I always assumed that having an email address starting with “Editor@” would be a blessing and a burden – I was right. With every SPAM message, I chortle, but also realize that I have a responsibility not only to the Russian mail-order brides and the Nigerian billionaires that contact me on a daily basis, but to you – the readers of COED Magazine. We should read and mock these middle-aged suburban ass clowns that litter our inboxes day after day.

Together, it is our responsibility to absolutely bombard these assholes with replies. As such, the most creative reply will receive a free pair of Altec Lansing UHP301 headphones (valued at $50), courtesy of our friends at Altec Lansing.
