LEARNING.......EVERY DAY

Myspace is so DUH.....i use facebook

I just don't get the appeal of MySpace / Facebook etc unless you are a teenager or trying to market to a teenager.

I do find benefit in being on LinkedIn from a professional standpoint, but even then, I really only treat it as a networking tool.

I agree.

Before they banned it at work, we had guys who used to speak to each other via Facebook even though they sat 3 desks apart.

To my shame, I actually signed up on Facebook about a year ago to see what all the fuss was about and after a very brief flurry of contacting people I knew at school ("What do you do for a living?", "Are you married?", "Have you got kids?", etc) the appeal swiftly waned - my thoughts being that if I'd actually wanted to know these people, I'd probably have stayed in touch with them in the first place!

It was when some of these people started sending me virtual drinks and cakes ( ), that I realised I was clearly regressing to my second childhood, and swiftly pulled the plug on the whole thing.

One for the kids IMO.

I know what you mean Driver. I've been on FB for a while and to be honest, it can get quite tedious. A lot of the guys that I know from the Rugby Club are younger and use it, so I can keep up with them that way. I have lost count of the amount of applications I have blocked completely, people chucking sheep at me, sending me a virtual martini, having a non-existent snowball fight - please don't, I'm not 5.

Every now and then I'll go and do a cull of my 'friends' and remove anyone that I can't be bothered with, like people I haven't spoken to for 20 years and have no interest in.

I'm more of a voyeur on it, I have to admit. I don't get too involved in doing stuff on it, but I like to know what my pals are up to.

i guess it's what you do with it...

i understand the throwing sheep and stuff....i only use it now as a tool to keep in touch with my family in Australia, UK, and the far reaches of Canada.

It's great to put up current pics, and get the family to view and comment on them....as for the General Public...they have no access to our stuff...

Again... depends on what you want it to do for you....

It's how I get the word out about parties etc. Very effective. I fought it too for a long time but now use it every day... I don't use it to meet girls but I do use it to keep in touch with the ones that have been through here

I take you mean through the bedroom and not Breitlingsource!

Personally I've just joined up to Facebook. A lot of friends and family seem to use it so I've just jumped on the band wagon. I guess age probably has something to do with it as most of the people on these sites seem to be from teens to late 30's possibly!

I'm on Facebook and it can be silly if you want it to be.

I emigrated a few years ago so it is a useful way of keeping in touch with my friends from Uni, school, work and family. I don't bother with the sheep throwing and poking and stuff...as for the kids element, well my grandmother and father are on there!

Myspace just seemed pretty stupid from the start. You'd go to someone's page and it'd be a wall of 'Thanks for the Add' pictures, then some awful music would start playing and you'd have psychadelic wallpaper to try and read text around. It thankfully didn't catch on in the UK nearly as much as Facebook did.

I have to damn many people that can find me now. That would just be masochistic.
