I think this whole discussion is starting to fall by the wayside and isn?t even addressing the main point of the original post. Many people even seem to be putting forth their emotional attachments to one site over another rather than getting into logical aspects. Putting people down for what they like by posting something such as, "Facebook is better than MySpace so you are dumb and are probably old if you?re a member,? is pretty irrelevant, closed-minded, and incredibly juvenile. Ironically, I'm finding that the majority of insulting one-liners and meaningless responses seem to be coming from those self-proclaimed ?intelligent? Facebook members.
i didnt use facebook until i got to college. now i often forget my myspace password i log in so little.myspace is sluggish, flashy, unorganized, just inconvenient to use and find people.
@valuum: The venn diagram of people I know who are smart and idiots looks exactly like the venn diagram of people I know who have or don't have myspace pages.That said, I don't know anyone who is in a band.
@ iwashereI'm not saying my page is amazing or anything but i tried keeping it simple with a fake web 2.0ish look. even used that logo generator thing that was on digg once... or maybe even ten times. gotta love dupes. anyways, heres my page. www.myspace.com/nofx_y /prepares to get dugg down/spammed/insulted/burst into flames for having a myspace
Everyone who has either by choice, should fail any real IQ test. These organizations are trying to create and manipulate culture in a way that well they shouldn't. Currently the only reason Facebook or Myspace is so popular is by a few ignorant, "popular, hip" wannabes, making everyone they come in contact with to create one as well. I will admit that I do have a Face book, but have only because a few people forced me to in order to be part of there group or "Club." And in my opinion if people wouldn't make people join to be included and just keep lists of emails IM names, and communicate in a normal fashion instead of trying to keep tabs on all there so called friends through networks that are just asking for both minor and major stalking. I personally don't feel that other people should be able to see me and look at my profile, for this reason I Never update it or anything, If I want someone to know me or what I'm up to Ill tell them. Disclaimer: In this comment I use the term stalker loosely and meaning, anyone who sits at there computer every night and goes through there probably broad "friends list" and checks to see who has updated it in the last 2 hours that you were away from your computer.I hate to say this but stay old school and use EMAIL and IRC, (sarcasm is intended.) and stop companies from manipulating the culture that we(as people from 12-30) should be creating for ourselves.
I would rather use facebook as most of my friends are in this network.But Iam not opposing Myspace as it is also a good network but a little horrible than facebook

Anyone know a application to export your facebook contacts as CSV or other formats? try <a class="user" href="http://apps.facebook.com/friendcsv/">http://apps.facebook.com/friendcsv/</a> but it seems not working.Do you know facebook is not allowing your friends contact list, If you found trying to do so will be banned, Atrocious view. No other social network is doing such things. It is one way information. If it goes inside facebook, it is theirs. We cannot retrieve our friends list to outlook address book or gmail contacts. But we can import contacts from gmail or anyother address book to facebook, What logic is this?<a class="user" href="http://www.vigrxplus-reviewed.com/free-iphone/free-iphone-offer.php">http://www.vigrxplus-reviewed.com/free-iphone/free ...</a>
