Three pieces of only slightly interesting internet news: First, MySpace will be hosting an exclusive issue of Nylon, which will be available for paid download a few weeks before it hits newsstands. Kids buy the strangest things in the strangest places. In other news, you may not be getting those annoying AOL CDs anymore, since people are starting to realize that AOL provides an outmoded service and clogs their mailbox with crap. And finally, the Weinstein brothers are going to be investing in aSmallWorld.net, a super-exclusive social networking site, like what The Facebook was before they let all the plebs in. Have you got your invite yet? Us neither. It's heartbreaking.
