    MySpace or Facebook

    Which one do you use?

    I have both, although I have really gotten to like Facebook a lot more. MySpace is more about layouts and graphics and has become a problem for spam (mostly porn). Facebook is more bland in regards to layouts, which is better in a way, but I guess it depends on the person.

    I have a Facebook account but rarely ever log on to it anymore. I was on there a lot when I first created it but not so much these days.

    Just a few weeks ago I made a Facebook profile.

    I thought it seemed a little juvenile for a 40 year old guy to do it but some friends talked me in to it and its great, I have run into so many people I haven't seen in years its amazing!!

    BTW I am a member of the Chris Sabo and Barry Larkin Facebook fan club.

    Yeah, I thought it seemed weird at first too. I had 70 or so high school classmates contact me the first couple of days so that was cool. I haven't seen most of them since graduation almost 20 years ago.

    I prefer Facebook, times 100. I deleted my Myspace, due to the porn and clutter and all the rest of the crap. It's easy to get a virus. Any of you with a facebook, feel free to add me.

    I have both. I use both.

    I'm still more familiar with Myspace though.

    Facebook is fun, Myspace is just full of creepy.

    Yeah, that about sums it up for me.
    Like others, I have found many old friends via Facebook and have found it to be quite fun. And I like not having to wait for five minutes for a profile to open, only to have my speakers blown out.
    Sure on MySpace I get PMs every day from women half my age who are way out of my league...but, golly gee, none of them seem to reply to my replies.

    EDIT: Oh, yeah, great idea on the Redszone group. I'm in.

    Re: MySpace or Facebook

    I've got both, but I'm on Facebook a lot more. Hardly ever on MySpace.
    In those things which we commit to practice we can master, and with mastery we have the freedom to use these skills whenever we desire, without this practice we are slaves to our inability.

    I have an old Myspace floating around, but I'm on Facebook constantly.

    In fact, on Facebook right now.

    I shudder at the thought of Myspace anymore.

    I'm not huge on the whole social networking sites in general, but I can see how they can be engrossing to some.

    I have a Facebook though, for what it's worth.

    I never liked the look of Myspace pages. Since there is a stigma about adult men there being viewed as pedophiles, I never joined up there.

    I'm using Facebook for friends and family and LinkedIn for professional contacts.

    The average age of Facebook users has increased a lot in the last few months. I've been amazed how many of my high school and college classmates are popping up on it who weren't there last fall. Here are a couple of recent articles discussing the trend.

    Facebook, less clutter.

    Someone should make a RedsZone facebook group.

    I was just talked into joining Facebook in the last week or so and it seems pretty cool. I've chatted with a couple of old high-school chums and it just seems more enjoyable than I expected though maybe that's the newness of it all.
