I have both. I would delete my myspace, but some of my friends from high school don't have facebook.
They're good for keeping in touch with people. And, I'm going to be honest, they keep you occupied in a three hour Anthropology lecture (not that I would know. . .). As popular as they are, I think it's surprising when someone isn't on some social networking site, but I don't think it's a big deal. They're not for everyone.
I used to be on those sites. It was fun. Its a good way to express yourself (your interests, beliefs, hobbies, friends, family, etc.). Its also a good way to keep in touch with friends and family. And to check up on people you used to know. I really enjoyed designing my page, and posting blogs. It was the only way I could really be myself, and express the true me. But, along with fun,there was a lot of misundertandings, assumptions, etc that led to drama.
I had friends who didn't have myspace or anything, and I thought they were pretty weird. I mean, who DOESNT have myspace, right? I was wrong.
A year ago, I deleted my page on those sites, and iv been living a pretty happy life ever since. I mean, definitely less drama. Myspace/facebook, doesn't cause drama though. I think it really depends on the person who has it.
I do believe that people who don't have myspace/facebook, have more time to focus on reality/life. But I do recommend entering that "world", at least once in your life. It might be a totally different experience for you :) Just don't get addicted ;)
I have facebook and myspace. I have had both of them for a long time and have yet to have drama. I think it's because my friends are um, adults with their heads screwed on right. lol We all get along great. Some know just me, some know each other. Now college and high school kids can get dramatic. I enjoy both websites because it's a great way to stay in touch with people, chat, email, photos, fun stuff, games, etc. I personally like myspace better, but it seems like facebook is more popular. Anyway, it's fun for me! :)
I have facebook and mysopace.It is not drama at all like peopel say it is. In fact people who say it is drama are the pople that don't have one.It is great for keeping in touch with everyone. Aoolications allow you to become a memmber of a group or keep updated on events (facebook). You can get updates on music, fashion , and when you get bored you get to decorate you're profile.Bulletins it great way of I nforming everyone. PEOPLE THAT HAVE DRAMA ON MYSPACE OR FACEBOOK JUST HAVE BED FRIENDS BECOUSE ON BOTH YOU HAVE TO APPROVE PEOPLE BEFORE YOU TALK TO THEM DUHHHHHHHHH !
I have both, but only because most of my family lives in Michigan where I grew up, and my parents live in Tucson and my sisters live in Chicago and I'm in Texas. It's a way for me to stay in touch with family members and old friends. And now that hubby is deployed, its really easy for us to communicate online.
I haven't ever been on either website. I don't plan on having a my space or face book. I don't even know what face book is. All I know is what I have heard from people I work with and that is those websites cause drama. I was glad when high school was over and don't want to go back. If I wasn't out I would give you some props.
Facebook is great for keeping up-to-date and in touch with a lot of people at once. A couple clicks and *bam* there's everything I'd want to know for a brief update on life from so and so. I've also found it especially useful for planning events and keep up with friends who live states away. And photo sharing.and staulking all your friends :P But if you don't want to get either, its perfectly possible to live with out it. It just takes that little extra effort on your part to keep up date with the facebook-addict friends who tend to put all their communications into it. Which can be a good thing, not having one is a garenteed way nothing you don't want to be known from leaking out online. Also you won't spend half your freetime on it like some people do. Socail networking has its pros and cons and it works out great for most people. But the decision is yours.
I wouldn't have any problem with it. But then I'm a bit older and have only had facebook to play games. I really didn't want to get in touch with anyone, so I had a pseudonym.
If you have friends that you want to keep in touch with, then consider getting a Facebook. Not only can you talk to them, but you can also do other fun things (like trivia, playing games, sending graphics, etc.) with them.
Oh you are SO weird. I think I will start calling you Weirdy Mcweirdovich.
;)
I have both, but mostly because of my career. "I'm kind of a big deal." I'm an entertainer, and that's how the hip youngsters do things (heh), so you've got to reach them.
I do have a personal facebook page as well, and that's the only way I can claim I have got female friends. ;) I only spend a little bit of actual time on them, and they're a great way to contact people. The one good thing about facebook is that if they've seen their page and you've left a message on their wall, they can't claim to have not received it - because you can check.
But if you don't, I suppose it's not out of the real of possibilities, like not having a cell phone. It's unusual when someone doesn't have at least a basic cell phone, especially in your 20's and 30's. You don't NEED a facebook or myspace in the same way you could argue having a need for a cell phone.
Especially when there are so many different "networking sites:" - Twitter, Facebook, Myspace, Linkedin, Classmates, College Tonight, MyChurch, Xanga and Youtube (to name a few). it'd be very hard to join all of them, and possibly very time consuming to even have two.
Good for you. It's time that should be spent meeting real people for the most part. It's good for a hobby or political group where meeting people isn't important, but God the time people spend 'flirting' with their computers.!
high five! and I don't think I want one. I'm not sure, and e way, if you really have to get one get a facebook cus apparently myspace is trashier. o well.
