    I had MySpace before Facebook, but I like Facebook better. The design is cleaner, even with all the new applications. MySpace totally copied with the status updates.

    It's the only one that I really find to be all that useful. It's for working professionals.

    I have a Facebook/MySpace account, but I never log into MySpace, and I don't really do hardly anything on Facebook. I'm not really looking to pick up chicks or impress people with how many bands I know about, so I don't see the point.

    I like Myspace better, I get sick and tired of people sending me stupid applications on Facebook.

    I use facebook and linkedin. Facebook for keep in touch with college friends, and linkedin for professional connections. I only used facebook before and it didn't work out well. You don't want your boss see the picture of you getting drunk.

    I have accounts on both. However, I do not use them.

    I created the myspace one to check out my friends pictures. I forgot why I made the facebook one...

    I use neither

    i can't stand myspace. it's disgusting. dumb songs, stupid layouts..can't read anything half of the time thanks to r****ded backgrounds..

    facebook was good and clean until they went crazy with the applications. now people's profiles take forever to load.

    i still use facebook occasionally. i just use it look at pics posted, write on people's wall etc.

    I use both to stay in touch with friends. Facebook has annoyed me with all of stupid apps... I hate seeing "[whoever] has sent you a drink!" on the home page.

    I liked FB better when it only was for college students and now my 13 year old cousin is on FB! :confused:

    I also have LinkedIn.

    I have both but I like Facebook a lot more. I like how easy it is to share videos, songs and pics.

    I have a myspace, everyone tells me I'm using it wrong, apparently, I'm supposed to keep adding more and more friends even if I couldn't care less about them or if I don't intend to talk to them regularly. I'll check out facebook.

    Used to visit MySpace daily and Facebook every now and again, but now I check each one maybe once every 2 weeks or so just to see if anyone has died or something like that.

    I have accounts on both but its more a question of how much time do you spend on it.

    They shouldn't be giant time sucks hopefully. Unless of course its about talking about the Houston Rockets.

    I check every day and comment to a couple people but that takes maybe 15 minutes.

    Its a really convenient way to keep in touch with people who otherwise I would not have the privilege of regularly seeing. I'm also not a phone person, unless I'm drunk.

    I wonder what the side effects could be if we become over reliant on these sites as a substitute for actual social interaction? A generation of social anxiety? The stuff can be addicting. Kind of like... this place. :eek:

    I think myspace has more 15 year olds to hook up with and stuff.


    Oh wait.



    anyhoo, umm, i use it seldomly, but it's not a big deal to me. I like it to learn about chicks I find.

    I ask that because of when I used to lurk this site I remembered the Hannah Montana threads and things like that and the "more 15 year olds to hook up with" comment.
