Yes but you hear about sites using the software. Fact is vBulletin isn't aimed at users, it's aimed at admins.

Personally I've seen vBulletin on the news many times, including CNN. For awhile it seemed like every terrorist in the world was using a pirated copy of the software (they would show screen caps of posts on vBulletin forums on the news). It was also shown on techtv (mostly on The Screen Savers) multiple times over the years.

As for MySpace I see it as a fad to be honest. While my brother and everyone he knows uses it, I can only name off two of my friends that do. The rest of them don't use the internet at all, or know better than to bother with MySpace in the first place. There are still many people out there that have no use for Myspace and most of them happen to be part of my niche.

At some point MySpace will cease to be 'hip', and people will move on to the next thing. Until then we all have to deal with hearing about it everywhere we go. BTW am I the only one that hates the "It's not a phone, it has myspace mobile!" commercials? I swear if someone talked to me like that I'd slap 'em, then I'd smash their 'phone'. Also last time I checked my cell phone could do IM ages ago.

Last but not least I don't like the idea of NewsCorp (of all people) running such a site. I guess they figure brainwashing us via the TV just isn't good enough. By all means let the world know of your every move, and your ring of friends, and all the things you do in your life. Us people that know better will be around flying under the radar.
