"I can visit someone's page without blasting music or getting an eyeful of html poop."

i hated auto-playing music until it didn't exist anymore. now i miss the individuality. not specifically the music but also the other ways you could customize the page. in case anyone isn't familiar, you could basically just embed arbitrary html/css/js.

Tumblr now fills this void, and in a much more free and customizable way than MySpace did.

I wonder how they prevent Remote Code Execution. Because >just embed arbitrary html/css/js is THE definition of RCE.
