MySpace users fed up with glitchy pages, annoying banner ads and an abundance of spam may finally have the motivation to take the plunge and delete their accounts.
Wednesday is International Delete Your MySpace Account Day, an online protest geared at uniting users eager to ditch the popular social networking site.
Tired of juggling both a Facebook and MySpace account, blogger Simon Owens instigated the movement Jan. 20, laying out 10 reasons to ditch the News Corp.-owned site.
