Lessons learnt from Myspace: Taking away the average plebs ability to express themselves artistically is a good thing

On myspace you are more likely to have some 12yo retard from Utah try to be your friend but i guess thats what you have to expect from not actually socialising.

Put it this way, I socialize with my actual 'friends' on the phone, or in person, or over msn. I do not add just anyone to msn these days. They have to be an actual mate.

Myspace is more of a time waster for me. Face book looks too involved. I don't like to talk with my friends every fucking day. Nor do I need to know who else they are talking to online either. Or that they sent so and so a gift, or a message.... the crap goes on lol.

I have my real life friends for real life, but I also like having a break from them and chatting with people I don't know on myspace. I guess it's whatever floats your boat. No one is really wrong or right in this situation - it's about what suites the individual.
 
^ Exactly. I have connected with quite a few new people, though, through Facebook, and I have friends on Facebook that i still see in person. It's nice though, as a lot of them live interstate and I can still see what they're up to.

I don't do the whole ninja/pirate/vampire thing, though, but if someone sends me an invite for that, i just ignore it. :) I have sent a couple of people boozemail drinks, because i can't actually sit down and have a real drink with them.

I keep in contact with my cousin in England via Facebook too... we can see eachothers photos, etc, and i've made friends through friends on there too.

I don't have anything huge against myspace, but i will agree wholeheartedly with the d4wg on this point:

Absofuckinglutely. I hate that i have to listen to someone elses' crap taste in music when i open their page, to be followed by an epileptic seizure when faced with the horrible flashing background.
 
^Hahaha each to their own! Usually a persons page will indicate to me on whether they have similar interests to me or not. See, I see the fun side to all that stuff. But I can understand if other people find it annoying.

I agree face book would be brilliant with keeping in contact with friends who are interstate! Sounds perfect for that really. See when I do that I stick with the old school way, msn and if they wanna show me photos they can send them to me lol. Maybe facebook would make it easier for me with that aspect.

Facebook just seems to have phatter socialising abilities

No, you're wrong and I'm right.
In fact I'm going to make a FB group where people can post pictures of you with captions about how wrong you are
 
I find most people who have a facebook also have a myspace, it's just the new craze at the moment. I don't really use either all that much but i do like occasionally chatting to new people over the net :) And catching up with people i have met briefly. Whether they come from facebook, myspace, bluelight or otherwise doesn't really matter. And its easy to avoid the annoying 12 year old on myspace. Private and deny! Although my younger brothers page is ridiculous! Its all coloured and flashing and it definatly hurts the eyes. Doesn't mean his not a quality person though. He is, he just isnt internet savvy and has an annoying myspace.

I've had some cool people from my past find me on one or the other and it's nice saying hello and finding out whats going on in their life but dfrs made a good point in saying there is usually a reason they are in the past.

Hahah awww .... that's adorable.
 
I used to have a myspace with all the whizz bang bullshit on it. Ive still got one, but i have no friends and the sole purpose is to check out pictures (you can't look at peoples' pics unless your logged in) and to listen to choons.
 
I like myspace and facebook for entirely different reasons.

And at the end of the day,as much info as I want is as much that goes on there.

I *do* like being able to find old mates on facebook. No not ones I never got on with to begin with or who were arseholes or whatever, but more those acquaitances whose numbers/address/email you lost over time but because you weren't close enough to contact them everyweek, you didnt realise til months later you were out of contact with them. Its been great to chat with old uni mates about some of the funtimes we had back in uni!

In my busy week I just find it easy to keep in contact with my close friends too, to just talk shit, work out the weekend plans etc without having to go through the whole rigmarole of a conversation over the phone if I am not in the mood.

Have also met loads of mates from myspace, through common interests and over time we've become really good friends.
 
People I've never liked and I don't recall ever even saying anything nice to me are trying to add me on facebook. That is not the idea!

i have the same problem with particular bluelighters
 
I know of bluelighters on Facebook, but i'd never think to add them to my friends list - they're not friends of mine... and that's what a friends list is (to me, anyway). 75% of the people on my facebook friends list, i am friends with in real-time, and the others i talk to regularly by email and on the phone (geography means that we can't hang out, unfortunately).
