Kirkatronics Posted July 29, 2008 Share Posted July 29, 2008 We've all heard of them, most of us are a member of at least one. The big ones must generate a lot of income. Whats your views on them? Are they great, evil, necessary? And the biggest question: Which are you members of? Personally i use MySpace, Bebo, and FaceBook. My favorite is MySpace.

Ashley Posted July 29, 2008 Share Posted July 29, 2008 Umm member of MySpace but the only 'person' on my friends list whose active seems to be a scriptwriting thing. Facebook I use. Good way to stay in touch with people. Although I seem to have, in large, missed out on the 'stalking' aspect people use it for. Oh and applications. Canne stand em! Twitter count? Thats all I can think of. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paj! Posted July 29, 2008 Share Posted July 29, 2008 Use Facebook, used to use Bebo. Basically never used my MySpace account. It's just so damned ugly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thats all I can think of. Theres only a few applications i think are OKish. Thats MobWars and Owned on FB, and Truth Box across anywhere. Use Facebook, used to use Bebo. Basically never used my MySpace account. It's just so damned ugly. But its simple, and the most customizable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chairdriver Posted July 29, 2008 Share Posted July 29, 2008 I only use Facebook. Bebo reminds me of 12 year olds, and Myspace is too annoying to use/look at. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kirkatronics Posted July 29, 2008 Author Share Posted July 29, 2008 Bebo reminds me of chavs, myspace more fo emos and facebook for everyone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The fish Posted July 29, 2008 Share Posted July 29, 2008 Facebook is awesome, but they need to do something about the application invitations. Bebo is for pre-pubescent teens, and Myspace is frustrating. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Supergrunch Posted July 29, 2008 Share Posted July 29, 2008 Meh, things like Myspace annoy me. I have Facebook because it's kind of obligatory, and it's pretty useful/funny. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ramar Posted July 29, 2008 Share Posted July 29, 2008 I use Facebook, use to use myspace but thankfully most people moved over to facebook so I didn't have to look at their horribly coded coloured pages. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Jordan Posted July 29, 2008 Share Posted July 29, 2008 I use facebook, its pretty great seeing as 90% of my high school friends are on there, crazy to see what they're up to these days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
welsh_gamer Posted July 29, 2008 Share Posted July 29, 2008 I use my MySpace as a photo-hosting website. Facebook is just great. You can 'waste' a lot of time just looking on people's profile's, checking the latest status updates, reading wall posts and participating in the never ending film quiz!

Noodleman Posted July 29, 2008 Share Posted July 29, 2008 I use Facebook as its a good way of keeping up with the friends I made at uni. I detest applications and make it my mission to minimize every application anybody on my friends list has. I also ignore pretty much every group invitation. Facebook was cool before the applications and the new GUI would appear to be complete gash from the preview I saw. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cube Posted July 29, 2008 Share Posted July 29, 2008 MySpace and Bebo are horrible sites. I visit Facebook around once a week - it went terribly downhill since they started the "everyone can join" thing and the applications. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coolness Bears Posted July 29, 2008 Share Posted July 29, 2008 I don't have any of them! My Space scares me, I haven't really got a clue what Bebo is and Facebook is evil. :p I guess I'm not very sociable? I just don't want another way of highlighting the fact that I have very few friends. I can think of 2 people I could add on Facebook if I had it, so there is no point as I can speak to them on Msn.

Slaggis Posted July 29, 2008 Share Posted July 29, 2008 I loathe myspace, it looks terrible and is too fiddly. Bebo I used to use alot, but then realised it's a bit crap. I use facebook for the most part now because it's simple and most my friends are on there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jav_NE Posted July 29, 2008 Share Posted July 29, 2008 I hate MySpace. People always put crappy songs on their front page which means you can't navigate without the damn thing restarting everytime you click a link. And no, i dont want to search through your crappy designed template to try and find the mute or stop button either! FaceBook is fine. The applications are annoying, but its a nice place to share photos and keep in touch. I like the status updates too, i guess it does mean you can stalk people a little, but hey, they can always delete you if they want. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ShadowV7 Posted July 29, 2008 Share Posted July 29, 2008 Used to be on myspace, but it was a pain so I stopped going on it. Stupid back grounds and songs blaring when you look on a page. Then I tried bebo since it was a way of talking to my ex-girlfriend at the time, but now I have no reason to go on peoples pages or go on it, but it got annoying with all those applications and people making their pages all glittery and stupid with l33t speak, big countdowns and comments to get attention. But now I have no reason to go on any social networking sites, got no need for them right now, don't care much what some folk from high school and people i've never met get up to. And it's not like I get comments from anyone and i've got them added on MSN incase I do want to talk to them /rant Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dyson Posted July 29, 2008 Share Posted July 29, 2008 I have a Myspace, was the first one I had. Used to be on there all the time until I got a Facebook, havn't updated my Myspace in ages now. Facebook for the win, now. Somehow I also have a Bebo. I don't remember signing up for one or anything but..yep, it's there. I go on it once every 2 months or so, probably.

Jav_NE Posted July 29, 2008 Share Posted July 29, 2008 I have a WAYN somehow too that i dont use. And probably others, it's annoying when you get the mass e-mails saying someone on your list has joined blah blah. But yeh, MySpace never really got me. The only other place i have used other than facebook currently was faceparty back in the day. I made a few girlfriends on there! Wouldn't dream of logging in again though.

Raining_again Posted July 29, 2008 Share Posted July 29, 2008 I use bebo on a regular basis. Most of my msn/irl friends are on it so its handy enough. I think I have a myspaz (EW!) and facebook login, but I use neither! It was probably to nosey at other peoples profiles or something Oh I also used to use faceparty all the time, not so much seen as its been overrun with sluts and emo kids. boo.

Roostophe Posted July 29, 2008 Share Posted July 29, 2008 Still have a MySpace, but I don't use it anymore. I use faceboook nowadays, but not that much. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ellmeister Posted July 29, 2008 Share Posted July 29, 2008 Everyone knocks myspace, but everyone still uses it. Personally I don't mind it, its easy to use and all this stuff about it being ugly I don't understand. Facebook is good to, the applications are annoying though.

Eddage Posted July 29, 2008 Share Posted July 29, 2008 I have a Facebook account which I use fairly regularly. Great way to keep in touch with old schoolmates, also my mates are too cheap to send text messages so most of our nights out are organised via Facebook!

somme Posted July 29, 2008 Share Posted July 29, 2008 I use Facebook all the time. I have a band myspace which I use, and a personal one which I rarely use. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Strider Posted July 29, 2008 Share Posted July 29, 2008 I have both Myface and spacebook accounts, however i don't usually do much once i've created them. I only create them because i get asked/moaned at by people. Once i do have one they don't talk to me anyway so i don't really see the point.
