<p>Because I think that myspace is stupid. Help convince me to go through with it? kthnxyo.</p>
<p>Just do it.</p>
<p>myspace = hell</p>
<p>What is the point of myspace? Is it to make your more popular? More attractive to crazy internet freaks who won't talk to you in person? I mean, honestly, what is the point? Facebook is the same way. I have facebook... but the only thing I use it for it to look up my friends AIM SNs or cell numbers so I can contact them other ways. I don't just randomly browse profiles like some do... it's just creepy. My profile is like barebones. A picture. General contact info. Nothing more. If people know me, the don't need to read about me on facebook(or myspace for that matter).</p>
<p>nah keep it, just don't use it. you never know who you'll come across in a month when you decide to log on out of boredom.</p>
<p>"You are probably all aware of the ever popular website MySpace.com, where teenagers, adults, and everyone inbetween goes to engage in incredible ego trips and incessant forays of commenting and message sending. It's popular for the same reason AIM and Apple are popular (even though neither is original): it's trendy, computer-illiterate people can manage to make it "go", and consequently 'everyone else is using it'. The resulting chances of you being able to recreate your tangible social network in this ad-infested chaos are high, and soon you become fond of the feeling when you get a message saying someone has commented on your profile. You know that you'll think of an appropriate comment to put on their profile in a few days too, and it will continue this way until you break the internet."</p>

<p>its so true. and funny. you myspacers are all concerned about the wrong stuff.</p>
<p>facebook is the way to go</p>
<p>Yeah, facebook is a million times better than myspace, though i do have both, oh well</p>
<p>Facebook > MySpace</p>
<p>I do have both though. MySpace user for 1.5 years. Facebook user for ten months.</p>
<p>just keep it in case you have friends that aren't in college or something...yes CCer's there are people that don't go to college.</p>
<p>The only thing I have is a facebook, instigated by some of the forum's chatterboxes.</p>
<p>I dont have neither facebook nor myspace and i'm damn proud of it. All who spend more than 10 minutes online are losers.</p>

<p>says the person posting on CC. im sure you spend more than 10 min online. anyway, i'm guessing you meant 10 min on facebook and myspace. there are definitely facebook stalkers and myspace stalkers/felons our there, but keep in mind that facebook is actually really helpful to students. you keep in contact with friends, you can promote schools events and avtivities to people with similar interest, and other random stuff. seriously, i found several valuable things on campus that people had lost and i searched their name on facebook to return it to them. </p>
<p>but facebook CAN BE very toxic. i don't even bother with my space. i have one, but only go on if people message me.</p>
<p>yeah, I'm happy that it was a pretty easy way of keeping up with people from random summer programs [NYLC, Boys State] as well as those that moved away from your school so you can see how they're doing and all, though it can be very toxic nonetheless.</p>
<p>myspace is a waste of valuable time when you're in high school. i probably made about 10 and finally deleted the last one last year (never went back..YESSS). I find that I have time to do SO many things instead of sitting at the computer looking at annoying pictures of people that I see and talk to in school everyday.
When I get to college, i'll probably get a facebook to connect with old friends. but myspace=dumb.</p>
<p>myspace is just this thing that people go on to see how popular they are, how many comments they get, etc. waste of time. even though it is helpful for keeping in contact with old friends. and what is up with all the pointless bulletins of "omgosh comment me and i'll love you forever"?</p>
<p>Actually, I find MySpace to be quite helpful. I love it for its music content. Granted, there are tons of horrible bands on MySpace, but I like to be able to hear who's good and out there at the moment. (I know that some record labels scan it for possible bands to sign.) Checking out new music is basically what I use it for. I don't have any "friends" on the site, and I don't list any personal info. </p>
<p>Actually, that's not true. I do have 2 "friends", but they're cousins that I accidentally found on MySpace who I had never met before. For kicks I searched my mom's maiden name and someone from Hawaii popped up. After a few correspondences, we realized that we were 4th degree cousins and that our parents knew each other. I added her and her sister as "friends." I'll probably meet them when my other cousin from LA gets married in Hawaii this Fall.</p>
<p>As the song goes, I guess it is a small world after all, and sites like MySpace and Facebook make it seem even smaller (if not scarier).</p>
<p>the thing is that cell phone services are very cheap now, and all the major carriers have no long distance charges, so it's much easier to call and actually talk to people than get a dumb social networking account to "connect with old friends". I think that people that are addicted to instant messaging, myspace, or text messaging, are just not able to carry out a normal verbal conversation, and all these means of communication give them the neccesary pauses to think what they are gonna say next.
yeah, current_student, it takes me less than 5 minutes to check my email and post in all the topics i wanna post on 2 forums i go to.</p>
<p>myspace is addicting and most definitely mind-tormenting. delete if you truly want to. sure, myspace can make you look "cool", or maybe even popular, but do you care about what other people think of you, or do you feel as if you need to prove a point, is the question you ought ask yourself.</p>
<p>facebook is not as bad, but it's a little more relaxed, as it is limited to just schools, and it's kind of like your school profile. myspace is your public profile. </p>
<p>myspace in soul-consuming.</p>
