Social Networking is for Gays

Monkeybomb

Alright, so after years of holding them at bay, the forces of social networking sites have finally won.

I registered with Facebook recently so I could view a friend's pictures because she fucking refused (mostly just forgot) to put them somewhere that I could get them. So here I am with a fucking Facebook account.

I'll admit, this interface is much cleaner and nicer to look at than the shit that I've seen on myspace. Now that I'm actually seriously looking at this shit, it looks like myspace is for:

a) bands, and

b) retards

Facebook, on the other hand, looks much more like something that one could actually use to professionally network and whatnot.

So, what's up with this social networking that the kids are doing nowadays?

Have you joined like a bajillion stupidly pointless groups yet? Also, can I poke you?

Filler Inc.

Monkeybomb

Hey, someone repost the myspace page of those crazy dudes that were all humping furniture like mad.

Sheri

Ahahaha

Someone killed their roommate over a game of Yahtzee

Monkeybomb

Hey, I'm not a flip-flopper.

I'm more of a flopper.

Fighting it with all my will until I finally collapse and let society have its way with me.

I'll put my profile in my sig or some shit.

I feel so dirty and used.

Your friend could've just linked you to a pic directly. Sucks she didn't know that.

You can still view individual pics on Facebook, even if they've got restricted access.

(also friend me plz)

God I hate Myspace so hard.

Facebook I am indifferent too.

futility

I don't get facebook, but then I didn't get myspace either
why did people leave friendster?

seriously the functionality of being able to trace steps of how you were connected to other people was cool

Sheri

It's really quite funny, MB

I mean, you kept going on these tirades about how much you hate Facebook and Myspace every time Facebook was even mentioned

And yet here you are

Zoolander

facebook doesn't look like it was designed in 1987

I like the newsfeed. It makes stalking so much easier.

Vixx

My main problem with MySpace is that within 4 clicks my eyes are ready to bleed themselves out of my head or I've heard some horrible, shitty music or I've come across a ridiculous attention whore.

Usually it's the first thing with the eye-bleeding.

Right now my beef with Facebook is all the damn applications some people are adding.

I've added TWO applications. TWO. Some people have added SIXTEEN.

futility

how do you become facebook friends?

Oh, I'm hating every second of this thread.

Sheri

Viv, I have a friend who has, like, twenty apps installed. I swear. His profile is just so obnoxious to scroll through.

You haven't friended me yet.

Monkeybomb

wait, is it even possible to add a link in my sig

I swear to god, the first time I click on a page on this site and some retarded video of them humping furniture comes up, I'm fucking out

Fiz

One place I applied for asks if you have a facebook or myspace on the application. I think saying no cost me the job

Click on the link in my sig, faggot.

There's your answer.

I do not think that is how it works.

I think that if you say yes, they hunt you down and make sure you don't have unsavory stuff.

But there's no reason why saying no would cost you the job.

Monkeybomb

You know what would help, sheri

is if I knew something besides "sheri" to search for

sherilynn

Sherilyn won't get you there

I share a last name with a famous sibling set

No relation

Facebook's the one that requires a valid college e-mail address, right? No wonder it's better than Myspace.

I like myspace.

for one, someone can say "oh have you heard this new band? check out myspace.com/thewhatevers"

and you can just listen to like three or four of their songs.
fuck last FM for having 30 seconds of a song

also tonight I'm going to Transformers for free, a week before it comes out.
Thank you Myspace, I still love you. (but hate the majority of your users)

futility

no one wants to be my facebook friend
and i just signed up because of this thread
guess I'll go sign up for live journal now
and qq about it
mood: emo

hi5.

I expect impressions.

Also, how did you swing that deal?

Faricazy

facebook is nice because i don't think you can even use apps to make your page look completely retaraded and unreadable like half...fuck, most of myspace looks

Vixx

Neither of you guys have added me yet and it's making me sad.

Sheri

I'll add you, Viv.

I don't like myspace because if I wanted to listen to some shitty band play shitty music I'd go down to my local shitty clubs.

Vixx

Thanks Sheri.

Zoolander

myspace can diaf irl

Monkeybomb

THERE

My favorite thing about Facebook is being able to open and collapse parts of people's profiles as you see fit.

Sheri

Whoo-hoo!

I go shower now.
