please to explain, sir, all the hubbub over Facebook and why is it now so much hotter than MySpace? ---

I hate myspace because so many pages are an eyesore (and sometimes earsore) that I don’t want to have any part of it. Facebook is nice because it’s a very clean, stream-lined look that gets the job done without throwing obnoxious colors and music videos at your face. I am a little annoyed with all the silly add-ons Facebook has been suffering from lately, but it’s still better than myspace. ---

[QUOTE=anyrose] please to explain, sir, all the hubbub over Facebook and why is it now so much hotter than MySpace? [/QUOTE] They’re becoming more and more similar, but facebook used to only allow college students, and you had to have an @xxx.edu email account from a school they recognized register. When browsing profiles, you can only see the full profiles of your friends and those in your same network (which now includes region and workplace), unless a profile has been made private. I liked it when I was an undergrad because the groups allow for an easy way to plan events and communicate. ---

How many peoples in the facebook group? I’m not a member but I might consider joining if there’s enough of a crowd. Otherwise, I see y’all fine in here. ETA: I have an old myspace account from my college years, but I rarely use it for anything other than spying on my friends. 😉 ---

Am I the only holdout who refuses to join any social networking site? Maybe there’s a social networking site I could join to… haaaang on a second… 😛 ---
