Social Networking Websites

What does everyone use and why?

I'm a facebook bloke, but I am it's 'prime' audience apparently, white university student from a fairly well off background. The complaints I hear about Facebook are mostly from cretinous Myspace dwellers who cry 'But you can't change your background!'

Seeing as Myspace profile tend to crash both my desktop and my laptop I assure you that issue means nothing to me.

A2 Brute?

I adore Facebook because you can’t change your background. Yes, I use it. I have a number of you added as friends. I also technically have a MySpace page, but I hardly ever use it.

[Mac Sirloin]

I've had a bad experience with Facebook since I joined it but iut hleps me keep in touch with a lot of moved-away-or-live-far-away friends.

I fall into the exact same category.

Wil, I know you're going to cry when I tell you this, but the next release of vBulletin allows you to alter your profile page similar to MySpace

Alcar...

Just thought I'd give you guys a warning in case you didn't know.

Once you sign up to Facebook, you agree to the following:

They can use whatever you put in(be it personal info, pics or whatever), for whatever they want.

They could use your info for market research, but they could also sell your pic to companies who would like to use it for ads and stuff.

I'm not sure if they've changed that. But it was recently all over the news in Denmark.


Of course it's just a warning. keep using it as you like

Ich hasse Sozialnetzwerkanschlußweb site. Ich denke, daß sie für traurige Leute sind, die Freunde auf dem Netz bilden müssen, weil sie nicht in der Wirklichkeit können.

[Laser]

Bebo.

Only to talk to my friends though

It is lucky, then, that you will be disabling this feature and never, ever permitting it to be used by anyone at all.

I use all three Bebo mainly for my online friends and Facebook for my offline friends.....I do have a myspace it's just hidden somewhere in my 300 or so unread email messages .

(Note: This is technically my first post ever, please refrain from blocking me....yet)

Also I use pictures of wolves and this drawing that is my avatar that was drawn for me by my girlfriend as my profile picture on such social networking sites to avoid the problem of 40+ year old sickos getting excited over my beautiful visage.

And as far as the demography goes I'm teh white working class senior schoolboy so God knows what compelled me to join you snobs on Facebook

True but i'm sure every social networking site has that in there somewhere. So it doesn't bother me

I use all three

There are miles more than 3 social networking site i assure you

[Wings of Fire]

I do apologise High Overlord, I use all three hyper popular ones....I also use but i was planning on keeping that under wraps

Edited about a second after posting: Crapcrapcrap sorry i did NOT want that to be a hyperlink

Edited after ghosts posting: Because on afterthought it was a bad idea to put the websites name on a public forum

[Strike Witch]

Smooth.


You know, that's not the best thing to mention on a general forum, Sarcastic or not.

[Mutual Friend]

I'm on everything and nothing. Cock, cock, cock.

[Salamander]

I use Bebo and Facebook. Bebo more than Facebook though. I only use the sites to keep in touch with friends.

[Nate]

You're on cock? Good to know.

I'm the same as Max; I use facebook regularly to keep in contact with my various international friends and I also have a myspace that has zero information on it - I only signed up to see a friend's photos that he wanted to show me.

[Disgruntled Intern]

I'm a boring MySpace member with a boring background. FaceBook is just too much for me.

All of them fancy members with their fancy book learnin' ways of talkin don't jive with me. No sir, it don't rightly jive at all.

[Mac Sirloin]

Did it touch you?

There is absolutely no reason for me to have laughed at this.










...But I did.

True - It will never be turned on.

Alcar...

[Facsimile]

I use Bebo, but I have a Facebook account, which I never use because of those awful application notices. It's far too complicated for me to enjoy using, so I stick to Bebo, I only really made the account for Hobo, but I don't really know how to communicate with him on it anyway...

Bebo FTMFW!
My page most likely kicks your pages arse.

This quite probably is true.
