Facebook, Myspace, Twitter, Bebo Which do you prefer?

I dont use any as such although i am a member of one or two purely for nosey parental reasons.

Apparently that's the trendy thing to say these days....

Dont like bebo or myspace, so I use facebook (not so keen on their layout change tho).

Dont entirely see the point of twitter atm, tho I have registered on it.

I only began using computers themselves for nosey parental reasons so i think i`m possibly just stuck in my ways rather than being trendy.

Ah no I wasn't saying you were doing it :D

But there are a lot of people who say they don't see the point in FB etc but (for whatever reason) have their own account or browse it occasionally.

Re: Facebook, Myspace, Twitter, Bebo Which do you prefer?
 
I use Facebook, and have an account on Myspace but never use it, haven't for about a year.

Bebo is for 12 - 16 yr olds from what i've seen.

I don't see the point of Twitter, I've had a brief look at it and i can't see what all the fuss is about, all you do is read people's status updates?? :shrug:

I mainly use FB, but have also have a twitter account and follow mainly celebs (some are following me :)), plus a few members here

I've added a couple of options to the poll for the fence-sitters and Web 2.0 hat3rz ... of which I am one. :D

Missus uses Farcebook and has a twitter account, although she doesn't use Twitter and is mystified by one or two of the people she doesn't know who are 'following' her.

She spends hours on FB playing with a cyber pet and stalking her friends and random strangers in ***** Wars.

That's m.a.f.i.a ... odd thing to be in the swear box. :erm: :D

Re: Facebook, Myspace, Twitter, Bebo Which do you prefer?
 
I use Facebook. It's handy for keeping in touch with ex-students, and it's a handy way to allow friends and family to see my photos.

However, I am finding myself using it less and less, and can't be bothered to set up accounts on any of the others.

Raistlin 29-03-2009 15:15

Re: Facebook, Myspace, Twitter, Bebo Which do you prefer?
 
I'm not on any of the social networking sites.

I keep looking at Twitter, but only because the idea of getting a better insight into the lives of some of my favourite celeb's appeals to me.

Don't want to use facebook a) because there aren't actually that many people in the world that I like much less want to know what I'm up to all the time, and b) because I don't particularly want my picture/name plastered all over the Internet.

Oh yeah.....and I actually have work to do during the day.....

I use none of them. Don't see the point.

Although I am a rather heavy user of Windows Live Messenger

Re: Facebook, Myspace, Twitter, Bebo Which do you prefer?
 
I use Facebook extensively. I lost touch with all of my school mates when I left in 1996. Thanks to FB I'm in touch with everyone I want to be in touch with again. Even met one of my best school mates yesterday for a drink or two.

I registered on Twitter and Myspace but really do not see the point of either.

Oh well, can't vote now, looks like the vote has been stuffed up with a biased viewpoint.

Pia 29-03-2009 15:39

Re: Facebook, Myspace, Twitter, Bebo Which do you prefer?
 
I've just signed up to Twitter so i'll either get addicted, or give up on it v.soon :D

Charlie_Bubble 29-03-2009 16:26

Re: Facebook, Myspace, Twitter, Bebo Which do you prefer?
 
Ahhh, the addition of the "None, they are all equally pointless " allows me to vote! :)

MadGamer 29-03-2009 16:31

Re: Facebook, Myspace, Twitter, Bebo Which do you prefer?
 
I mainly use FB, I do have a MySpace account but I haven't used that in ages. I also have a Twitter Account that doesn't get used very much

LSainsbury 29-03-2009 16:31

Re: Facebook, Myspace, Twitter, Bebo Which do you prefer?
 
You can't really have Twitter in this comparison, as it's a different type of social networking tool...

;) that's why I like twitter best; I don't have to partake in little games and pander to people... you just read what people are up to. :)

and nice to see you on there Pia, :LOL:

iFrankie 29-03-2009 21:21

Re: Facebook, Myspace, Twitter, Bebo Which do you prefer?
 
i prefer twitter at the moment because its very simple to use and you don't get anoyying adverts, quizs ect ect lol

Niles Crane 29-03-2009 21:35

Re: Facebook, Myspace, Twitter, Bebo Which do you prefer?
 
I've tried Facebook, but i just found it very irritating. Or rather; i found some of the people who use it very irritating.

I don't care about what you're eating for dinner.
I don't care that you're arguing with your partner.
I don't care about the film you're watching and loving so much (love so much you'll use your phone to update FB while watching said film).
I don't care that you have the day off work.
I don't care that you're drunk.
I don't want to "poke" you or be poked.
I don't want to join your pseudo-political group.
I don't want to be your friend as I don't know and/or like you.

I could go on all night about this, so i better stop there.

I use facebook. It's interesting to see what people are upto, keep in contact with friends, and meet new people.

If anyone's browsed the group membership, i'm the guy with confetti in my hair, due to the fact I was getting married on Saturday when the photo was taken.

Paul 29-06-2009 00:46

I don't use any of them, but if I did, it would be Facebook.

I use Facebook and I also joined the CF Fan Page

Well the poll is closed but Facebook by miles. ;)

Callumpy 04-07-2009 21:13

Re: Facebook, Myspace, Twitter, Bebo Which do you prefer?
 
Ive got one of all those in the poll.

I read other peoples tweets on twitter but rarely tweet myself. I havnt been on facebook for ages. Bebo is crap and the last time I used Myspace was when I made a profile for my friends band.

idi banashapan 04-07-2009 21:37

Re: Facebook, Myspace, Twitter, Bebo Which do you prefer?
 
not on any of them. if anyone is worth talking to, I'll actually talk to them. not into all this psuedo-popularity business. I prefer real friends!

Zee 04-07-2009 22:06

Re: Facebook, Myspace, Twitter, Bebo Which do you prefer?
 
I prefer Tagged theres so much to do there if yoo're bored. m-a-f-i-a wars, poker, chat, matches and so much other stuff. its a lot better then Facebook and MySpace

www.tagged.com

Btw why is m-a-f-i-a blocked?

Pia 06-07-2009 09:31

Re: Facebook, Myspace, Twitter, Bebo Which do you prefer?
 
I think cos there was loads of spam URL's with it in once, i might be wrong.

Raistlin 06-07-2009 09:32

Re: Facebook, Myspace, Twitter, Bebo Which do you prefer?
 
Correct.

You can do all those things on Facebook and (I assume now) Myspace :confused:
