Facebook, MySpace.. The mania

Alright so all this hype in Facebook is kinda ridiculous. Being a member in MySpace is no longer cool since everyone is joining this Facebook thing. I admit I’m a late bloomer. I just signed up to Facebook in December 2006 while my buddies already have like 100 wall posts. It also took me a while to sign up for MySpace. I dont see what the hype is about MySpace expect to show off your ugly html skills on your MySpace page. Then Facebook comes along and it’s even more creepy than MS. People can see what youre writing, who youre ‘friends’ with etc. Yes I know you can turn that off. But really who has the time to change the Privacy Settings. I also had a hard time looking for it. :embarass: Ah well. It’s not like I have anything to hide. I log into FB once a day (scary I know) and as soon as I see that I have no Friend requests, no new wall posts and no new messages in my Inbox, I leave. That sounds like I have no friends in FB but really I just dont bother with writing on people’s wall if I have nothing to say. I can just call them right? It’ll die down just like MS in a few years.. And all these new stories about students getting suspended because they posted photos and comments about their teachers is just ridiculous. Who asked teachers to go to FB and look for insults on their photos anyway? If you dont like it, dont go to it. Freedom of speech is no longer relevant to the education system. It’s like theyre going to monitor FB for any cruelty towards their teachers. What’s even better is if these students get smart and start posting videos of their teachers in Youtube. That would be funnier. Who’s going to know if you posted it when you can come up with any nickname you want. Right?? :wink:

    I dont know what the deal is with facebook to be honest with you, Yeah it seems like everyone is now converting over to facebook & soon myspace will probably be a no more or with less users. I dont get whats so nice about facebook, I had joined it to see what it was like & its not all that to be honest with you so I dont even care to join it again. Thankfully for being able to delete accounts :)

    I have to confess that I’m addicted to facebook – never liked Myspace though. Too many ads haha. But all my friends have facebook, which is a pretty good reason to have it I guess.

    but on their facebooks they post pictures of themselves, drinking. and of course they’re all underage and so on. so really. the common sense is just.. absent?

    i mean, if you’re going to drink, okay, great. stupid, but okay, fine! but posting pictures, that’s just stupid.

    Facebook can become pretty addicting once you find a bunch of your friends. I don’t post on people’s walls but I do enjoy looking at their pictures. I never really liked Myspace at all though.

    I don’t care about either. I have a facebook, and I occasionally login, but I’ve never seen the point. As for Myspace, well, it’s just a waste of space if you ask me.
