Itsmy.com - Why Some People Shouldn’t Own Camera Phones

OK, maybe we’re being a bit harsh here, but there are some things that certain people just shouldn’t do.  We realize that not everyone is supermodel material, but file this one under tube tops and thongs for 300+ lb ladies, camera phones and certain people just don’t mix…

The site that is itsmy.com (you’ve undoubtedly seen their ads) is mildly entertaining at best.  The idea is there - provide a place where users can easily share content created from their mobile phone, keep up with friends, etc., etc.  The whole thing has a “Made for early teens” feel about it, and what is just overwhelming is the sheer amount of people that feel the need to post pictures of themselves that even their significant others may not want to see (hmm…maybe there is a lack of “others” - have we stumbled on something here?)  Just check out the photo blog, you don’t need to go to far into it to see what we mean.

The good news is that the service is free.  You can set up your account with your phone pretty easily, just remember that you need to add a “+1″ to your phone number, otherwise you will never make it past step 3. 

Once you are in, there is a myriad of options and things to do and see, a virtual cornocopia for those addicted to social networking (you know who you are).  The chat rooms seemed to be a good idea to check out, but apparently are set up for those only interested in your horniness status (sorry Texaz_boi, not really interested in one of your fireside chats.)  Perhaps we’ll try somewhere else…on second thought, maybe not.

Really, it’s doesn’t get much better, so I’m gonna go ahead and cut this one shorter than usual.  Bottom line, there’s a lot of losers out there, and while we’re sure that not every user of Itsmy.com is indeed a loser, they sure seem to attract most of them.  Basically, user beware, and if your kids are using this service, it may be time for a talk…you remember how people used to do that, right?
