BlueTear Posted November 12, 2007 Share Posted November 12, 2007 I don't use either, but recently, I'm starting to consider getting a facebook. In my personal, and I'm starting to realize, elitist opinion, a presence on the web is a website. Not blogg, not a facebook account. It's not that I'm intellectually against making new technology available to be just by anyone, I just emotionally object to the whole "trend" deal - mostly because when I was into these things (ranging all the way back to MSN messenger) no one else was, and by the time everyone was into them I'd passed them and wondered why the heck they were making such a fuss. That, and the facebook license agreement makes me hesitate. But recently I've been seeing/hearing all kinds of odd networking going on via sites like facebook. One company, who's name I can't remember, has a 1 hour of facebooking every friday in order to "network", and create a closer connection between the people in the company and in the business in general. It's freaky, but it makes sense is a twisted kind of way. ... so more on the originial topic, I'd say facebook despite never having used it, because that's what most of the people around me seem to be using, so that's what I'd have the most use for. -This message was deviously brought to you by: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I remember that happening to me with myspace; right after I deleted mine, everyone started making one. I went back, created a new one, and quickly discovered it was worthless. To this day, I don't "like" facebook, but it beats myspace. Oh, and I think online communication is the future for communication. What about the license makes you hesitate?

IGoddessI Posted November 12, 2007 Share Posted November 12, 2007 Thanks to Mercs reply with solutions to my concerns about facebook, I'm willing to give it another go. Thanks Matt. The only people who tell you that you can't do something are those who have already given up on their own dreams so feel the need to discourage yours.

Mercifull Posted November 12, 2007 Share Posted November 12, 2007 Thanks to Mercs reply with solutions to my concerns about facebook, I'm willing to give it another go.

Mercifull Posted November 13, 2007 Share Posted November 13, 2007 aka Facebook is allowed to use you as an example in promotional materials and/or in private presentations for example. It does not mean you waive all rights to everything you put on there. It still all belongs to you, you just license Facebook to use it for their own use.

DaN Posted November 17, 2007 Share Posted November 17, 2007 Facebook is far better than myspace. MySpace profiles look like [cabbage] almost noone on myspace has a half decent profile and they load so much rubbish code into CSS it should be crimminal. Honestly if you use one of those profile generator sites to copy code from you really shouldent be customising your profile because chances are noone can read your stupid text over image frontpage98 style crap anyway. The basic elements of design and coding stardards have gone compleatly out the window at MySpace. ~Dan64AuSince 27 Aug 2002 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Smi_Mandos Posted November 19, 2007 Share Posted November 19, 2007 I don't like the fact that you use your real name on facebook. I for one don't like people on the internet to know my real name. It's not a nice thought. Plus I don't like the fact you can't customise facebook colours. On the other hand, I don't like over customised myspace profiles, but if they're done well they can look quite nice. So myspace =D Along the coast road, by the headlandThe early lights of winter glow.Ill pour a cup to you my darling.Raise it up --- say cheerio.

The Observer Posted November 19, 2007 Share Posted November 19, 2007 Facebook is better in my opinion. The community is a bit more mature and if you add certain applications, you can make your page look awesome. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

eyehawk78 Posted November 19, 2007 Share Posted November 19, 2007 i pick myspace. facebook is just [developmentally delayed]. and myspace is the first one i signed up for....facebook is a wanna-be myspace :mrgreen: Facebook is wanna be MySpace? Maybe originally. Though how about the situation now? I spose you haven't noticed that MySpace has recently redesigned their homepage to one that (even the biggest Facebook hater must realise) is a hell of a lot similar to the Facebook homepage. They also now 'coincidentally' have friend statuses. I'm waiting for the day MySpace introduce applications :lol: As you may have guessed I support Facebook in this discussion, they only thing that MySpace is better for is music.

Azvareth Posted November 20, 2007 Share Posted November 20, 2007 Facebook is the lesser of the two evils, so I'm gonna go with that. I swear, the people on myspace who use their "favorite band" or whatever as their profile background - which seems to be around 80% of the userbase - deserves to have molten lava thrown at their face. How can anyone think that is ever a good idea? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
