Those of you who saw Facebook as some sort of safe haven from the autoplaying music and blinky annoyances of MySpace had better watch out: the social-networking site launched its music section today, and among its offerings is a Flash player that allows bands to “upload [their] own Flash files to achieve advanced customization.” For now, I’m going to say that said customized Flash apps can’t possibly be as annoying as those incessant “How Hot Are You?” requests, but I’m sure there’s someone working on testing out that theory as I type this.

This has already been around for a while without the Flash customization stuff. Kind of a soft launch if you ask me.

That reminds me, have you seen that iPhone commercial where they’re like, “Do you like to crap every waking second of your life away on Facebook while you’re at your computer? Well now you can crap your life away EVERYWHERE you go with Facebook on iPhone!”
When I see that commercial, it makes me think that if a giant asteroid came and blew up the earth, the universe would probably be a better place.
@Catbirdseat: I saw that commercial and said to myself, “Well, I guess there’s no reason for me to ever get an iPhone.”
Friends of mine like to keep saying how they appreciate Facebook over Myspace because ‘it’s so clean and nice and well-designed’ — and I always think to myself, “Not for long.”
