Guide Review - MySpace Ignore Bulletins
MySpace Ignore Bulletins is very useful for those of you with larger friends lists, as the influx of bulletin posts can become somewhat overwhelming. Many MySpace members utilize the bulletin space for advertisements, chain letters, and other items that can usually be classified as annoyances. This handy little script gives you the power to filter out the junk while still letting you read bulletins from the friends you choose. This is a nice ability to have for any MySpacer.
