    How true. Facebook is much nicer about it, much simpler, a world where people go by their first and last names and no one can see you unless they are your friend.

    My MySpace profile took about a year, but it finally became like so many free email accounts that I’ve had in the past: a spam collector. When that happens, the only solution is to delete it. I wasn’t using MySpace enough to justify a new account, so it just meant less clutter to deal with.

    MySpace is so yesterday.

    @Zachary: Unfortunately, anybody can now at least see your pick when they search for you on Facebook. You can see the pick, their name, and send them a message. I think Facebook is opening up itself a little too much for my taste.

  6. Irving Says:

    MySpace is a real mirror to the ME generation, but then, every generation is that way when they’re young. Wait a few years lol

  7. Thunk Different. Says:

    MySpace is still a good place for musicians to hang out and tell jokes.

    how many guitarist does it take to change a lightbulb? Only one, but 1,000 to say that can do it better.

  8. Direct Digital Says:

    As a busines trying to promote through every mechanism, including social networking sites, we have found that each type of site is best for certain products. For example, our High School Formals website (www.highschoolformals.com.au) is brilliant in myspace, where the kids tend to hang out. Whereas our Fundraising Directory and other products (www.fundraisingdirectory.com.au) are better suited to Facebook. With respect to spamming to get our message across - we are not into that - we have to get our fans the old fashion way.

  9. Gucci Says:

    I wonder what handbags are of better quality - Gucci or Fendi? What’s your opinion?
