plus you can keep in touch with your friends by sending them emails, txt messages, you can call them and meet them. You don't need this myspace for a fake feeling of being popular.

 

work in a call centre, so can't call or text people whilst working. don't have access to email at work. myspace, facebook, lj are all ways of keeping up with friends. as for meeting up with friends, its a way of planning meet ups.

i don't use myspace to feel popular, as can be seen by the fact that i still have under 30 friends on there (come to that, I don't need to feel popular either, am quite happy with a select group of friends). i mainly use it to keep in touch with people i already know in real life but can't meet up with as frequently as i would like to.

What I can say is that I rather got in contact there with people from my grade than in "real" life....because on there they got to know a bit about myself (which music I listen to etc...)....they are some of hese people I actually never had to do anything with...but myspace helped me to get to know them a bit...I know this sounds rather lame...but it's true...I must add here that I'm a rather shy person when it comes to get to know people...esp. the ones you always think they don't like you (although there is no reason...but yeah that's me and my way of thinking)...so for me it was a good way to get a bit in contact with others....and to get to know them a bit...;)

 

(how often did I use "get to know" now?:thinking:)

Here's mine.

Myspace is dandy, if you live in a place where people understand computers.

So I've only actually met two of my friends on Myspace. o___<

I find facebook is actually more user-friendly than myspace, at least for talking to my actual friends.

Facebook is so much better. I think its alot cleaner looking than myspace. Myspace can get really cluttered.

it annoys me when people have it on private

 

 

 

It annoys me when people assume I have no reason for having it private.

 

I write my blogs there and I like to be able to have a choice over who reads them. By putting my profile on public, people I don't like and people that don't like me can read what I say or find out about me and share my moments and thoughts.

 

And I don't want that.

 

If you're so damn interested, add me.

 

It wouldn't be in my sig if I didn't expect anyone to want to look.

Facebook is turning into myspace, which is annoying.

ok, I understand your reasons you stated and I think that, generaly speaking, if it really used with this reason without adding a mass of people who you won't speak with ever again, then I guess its use is ok.

interesting, well yes, it's good to use some sites for meeting new people and finding those with the same interest. I understood you when you said myspace helped you to get to know them a bit, but the problem is when you keep talking to your schoolmates only through internet. Because, in my opinion, if they talk to you only over myspace, msn ... but not in real life (if they're people attending the same grade), it is not worth bothering about them so much.

 

 

however, don't think that I want to be rude, because I really don't want to; and I respect your opinions, although they won't really change mine ... but you indeed gave me another point of view. :thumbsup:

Jack are you always in a bad mood or something?

 

you've shouted at me in 2 threads now :(

 

if you want to shout we can shout through pms

^He only gives his opinion.

 

And, honestly, I agree.

I made it private few times ago as well. I'd say it's a matter of safety (even if through the web, "safe" doesn't have any meaning...)and of privacy, as he said...

Everyone I know uses facebook... so I guess I'm stuck with that, even though I almost never update. I prefer posting in livejournal.

 

I've thought about setting up a myspace just for my online stuff though. But then it's one more thing to look after.

weeeeeeeee

loverly clock there behind you and the hubby!! :P

 

 

oh I have an LJ as well.. serves me a place to vent... :) but I agree with you.. Myspace, Facebook... all good means of keeping in touch with those who are near or far. :)

who's that man in your avatar?

If I shout at you more than once, it's clear you did something wrong more than once. :P

 

I'm not always a bad mood person.

i think myspace is, allright.

 

its cool for keeping up with friends around the world

 

but it does annoy me when people 'collect' friends

 

like have 2000 friends, when they actually only know 2 in person

 

i wont friend request someone unless i know them in some way, its just weird otherwise.

 

and private profiles is the way to go. you should be able to decide who gets to see your info and read your blogs.

 

i also think myspace is very cool for up and coming musicians. massive exposure which is good. it provides a vehicle for their music to be displayed which is very cool.

same here!

these sort of sites make me sick...

I can never understand why people like them... It's all bunch of bored, silly and naive people.. thinking that they are cool and wanting to feel like celebrities or important with douchy comments that other people post on their pages and their photos. note that they have to return these comments as well...

It's all so absurd IMO and I really can't get why it has become this huge phenomena amongst people and from all ages.

 

hehe, I guess i got a little carried away.. but It really gets on my nerves.

 

I only really use myspace for uploading my songs and seeing if people like them, to get feedback for the ways i can improve my music. I dont really use my original myspace accout anymore, I prefer facebook, which keeps me in touch with old and current friends. I think its wrong for you to say everyone who uses myspace or other similar sites are "all bunch of bored, silly and naive people.. thinking that they are cool and wanting to feel like celebrities or important with douchy comments that other people post on their pages and their photos." If it makes you feel sick then fine :thinking: ... but don't put us all into one catagory.

Ditto.

 

But yeah here's my myspace for my music (if you're interested):

Its fairly new, so feedback always welcome!
