Yes, I figured it was about that time. When asked in the “exit poll” why I was canceling, I cited “Privacy Issues”. As in, I don’t want anyone who willingly decides to spend their free time browsing MySpace to know anything about me.
Props to MySpace however for creating a very easy account cancellation process. Click on Account Settings > Cancel My Account > Cancel. You get a confirmation email to click on, and it’s done. Many companies, including all credit card subscription services, have a lot to learn from MySpace about how allowing easy account closing creates a positive customer experience. See this post on EFax for an example.
