MySpace fights against friend requsting robots.


Ever since Myspace became the #1 social network of the web people have been using programs like adderrobot or autoadder to promote their bands, self or websites. Myspace has recently been making some drastic changes to their coding to cripple the robots ability to navigate the site.

Does this mean no more sleazy girls pretending to like you and "hang out with new people in the area". Maybe for a little while but I'm sure the bot creators will eventually figure out a way to work around the changes. Many older users on Myspace are driving away from the site due to all of the spam. They tend to find refuge in networks like facebook or bebo.
