- mrgermy, on 08/13/2008, -8/+188I can't stand MySpace.
Facebook (was) more mature with none of the ***** (stupid apps, tons of flash, horrible CSS, etc) that made me hate MySpace but now they have apps and god dammit I'm tired of getting invitations to stupid ***** like "Bestest friend in the world!" and other such retardations.
Yeah MySpace has MySpace Music and all that but Last.fm owns in that realm, IMHO.
Oh well, I still like Facebook MUCH better. Just feels, eh, better and more thought-out, clean and mature. - KenOh, on 08/14/2008, -0/+72I realized last week, when my 60+ year old mother asked me to add her as a friend, that Facebook was getting way too big.
- QsheiK, on 08/13/2008, -5/+61Then don't install them. Problem solved.
- Nomad185, on 08/13/2008, -2/+54I love it when Murdoch is wrong... So much for FB being the "flavor of the month..."
- newsboys, on 08/13/2008, -2/+43It has it's kinks, but it's better than scrolling through your friend's dozens of applications just to see their wall.
I think like all things new, it just takes some getting used to. - QsheiK, on 08/13/2008, -9/+50Rightfully earned, but I'm not totally digging their latest interface though.
- newsboys, on 08/13/2008, -0/+34That doesn't stop the problem of trying to post on someone else's wall, and having to scroll through the 300 applications they have installed..
However, Facebook's new layout solves that problem, by keeping applications on a page separate from the person's wall. - mrgermy, on 08/14/2008, -2/+26I didn't know about that feature, so thanks for letting me know even if you were an ass about it.
- estvir, on 08/14/2008, -0/+21The 'new' Facebook is a lot better, now apps are hidden on a separate page that you actually need to actively go to.
But yeah, apps suck oh-so-much. - akshay626, on 08/14/2008, -7/+26The "block all app invites from (insert friends name)" function is there for a reason. Use it and stop complaining. Damn whiners...
- MisterOh, on 08/14/2008, -1/+18once in a while i log into my myspace account to see if anything happened. i ended up getting about 40 friend requests by fake profiles filled with pictures of half naked girls.
not that there's anything wrong with that. - eliteeggnog, on 08/14/2008, -0/+14I love stalking your mum on Facebook.
- vitriolage, on 08/14/2008, -0/+12@jamesdew
I'm not usually on the grammar police, but this just makes me cringe. The plural of "it" is "its". "It's" is just a contraction of "it" and "is".
It's = It is
Its = possessive pronoun - Pricebreak, on 08/13/2008, -12/+23I think Facebook has way too many applications, they are so annoying.
- Ridikul, on 08/14/2008, -0/+11I question your artisticness if you're creating MySpace layouts and calling them designs.
- DismantleRepair, on 08/14/2008, -1/+12Rightfully so. MySpace is a disaster.
- NGliam, on 08/14/2008, -3/+13The apps ARE ***** (99% of them), but Facebook in itself is really good. My mum loves stalking people on it.
- SlalomMan, on 08/14/2008, -0/+9You got it wrong (again). Its is a possessive pronoun.
- wastern, on 08/14/2008, -0/+9go to new.facebook.com its the new layout and the apps are out of the way. its much better
- avisotin, on 08/14/2008, -2/+11Gratz to facebook.
Though I wish people would use it as it was intended - a SOCIAL UTILITY to help keep track of people, not a ***** "friend everyone that you know, even if they ***** hate you" which it has sadly become. - Linake, on 08/14/2008, -1/+9Even YOU? That's unbelievable! Of all people that I don't know I thought you would love it until the end!
. . . - lovecss, on 08/14/2008, -0/+8No it's not.
- missjb, on 08/14/2008, -1/+8Agreed. just give it a chance and it'll grow on ya'. hated it at first.
- inactive, on 08/14/2008, -3/+10Its
- MScrip, on 08/14/2008, -0/+7No way. The old interface made you scroll through dozens of apps 'they' installed to get to their wall. The new Facebook you can write on their wall, see their photos or send a message from the top of their profile.
New Facebook wins. - puttly, on 08/14/2008, -0/+7When I go to a website I expect to see a default colour scheme for the entire website.. Not some random combination of colours and automatically playing loud music on every page.
- RyanWilliams, on 08/14/2008, -0/+7Yep, the guy above is right: the new version of Facebook is much better with regards to de-cluttering the interface. I can't even begin to understand why a fair quantity of people dislike it, considering how much it eases actually *using* the site for what matters: keeping in touch and following what your friends are up to.
- GordonFree, on 08/14/2008, -1/+7Yyyyeaah.... they're real. Sure. As real as Ashley Simpson's talent.
- kinglenster, on 08/14/2008, -10/+16Maybe they could fix the 'new' Facebook and make it work. It has more bugs than working features.
- r3zonance, on 08/14/2008, -0/+6"Does facebook even allow customization of pages like myspace?"
No, which is what makes it better. - diggpatt, on 08/14/2008, -0/+6I realized a few seconds ago, when someone with a 60+ year old mother made a comment about Facebook, that Facebook was getting way too big.
- MrSunshine, on 08/14/2008, -3/+7I like Virb.com.
- GregFD3S, on 08/14/2008, -0/+4"So what are we going to do tonight Mark Zuckerburg?"
"Same thing we do every night Pinky...
Try to take over the world!" - StealDragon, on 08/14/2008, -4/+8Anyone who thinks Facebook has too many apps is a moron. All you have to do is just NOT ADD THE APPS. Dumbass.
- krismanx, on 08/14/2008, -0/+4I'm not seeing the comparison here.
- Vich, on 08/14/2008, -0/+4Yeah facebook is only at fault for allowing anyone to make apps.
- galador, on 08/14/2008, -1/+5Or just turn off applications.
- FrozenGonad, on 08/14/2008, -7/+11I like Facebook. It's easy to use and I can keep track of friends and relatives. No other site does it as easily or as well. Other thant he fear of identity theft, I don't know what anybody could possibly have against it.
- naughtyboy, on 08/14/2008, -1/+5I'll probably be dugg down, but I'll stand by it. Everyone who uses facebook non-anonymously is stupid. It's a proprietary network. You give away everything you contribute or upload, and you let anyone monitor your social contacts and parts of your life.
Don't tell me users need confirmation for access. Anyone of your friends accounts can be hacked.
I know digg is social network, but it can be used anonymousy, so think before you reply. - D0P3M4N, on 08/14/2008, -0/+3Yea, I know how you feel. My mother asked me how to make a facebook the other day. Put it all in perspective.
- innovati, on 08/14/2008, -0/+3Dugg so much more than you can imagine!
- jargonaut, on 08/14/2008, -0/+3Myspace is for "skanky pictures of skanky people doing skanky things".
http://gawker.com/385258/animated-social-networks- ... - omenmedia, on 08/14/2008, -2/+5I have mixed feelings... MySpace sucks balls, don't get me wrong, but to be ousted by Facebook? It's kinda like the lesser of two evils, really.
- filldeviant, on 08/14/2008, -1/+4I remember using Myspace when nobody knew about it. It was alright, and being the stupid twelve year old I was (having no knowledge of the hell pit of code that lay under it), I thought it was awesome. Then people started using it more and more to the point where I got so much spam, and had to fill out ridiculous CAPTCHAs that I started to get frustrated.
Then one day, somebody introduced me to Facebook. It was one of my friends that is a complete Web God, and knows about every nifty little service ever created. I tried it, and as he kept going on about how great it was I kind of said, "meh" and left it alone for a year until one day I logged on and saw that I had 30+ friend invites. Everyone was using it now, and it's just recently that I've finally got 99% of my friends on Myspace friends on Facebook. Great, right? No. Not good, because lately I've been getting spam. Not applications, I've blocked virtually every one of them. I'm talking about the ***** I used to get on Myspace. So now I ask myself, "What's next?"
Friendster --> Myspace --> Facebook --> ???? - adidos, on 08/14/2008, -1/+4You can accept her friend request, just don't poke her...that'd be weird.
- WardOnTheWeb, on 08/14/2008, -1/+4Considering MySpace's rapid decline in quality over the past few years, it comes as no surprise that the Facebook is emerging as the more popular platform. Unfortunately, popularity != profitability; the clean look that's helping them become dominant is also the reason that they're lagging behind in ad sales. When it comes to advertising, ugly and in-your-face is often more effective for marketers than blended and off-to-the-side.
I'll be curious to see if their advertising strategy changes after they've grown a bit. Will they bait users with a clean website and switch to big, ugly ads after we're all using it, or stick to their quality and languish in revenue? Only time will tell. - r3zonance, on 08/14/2008, -0/+3"Having more profiles created doesn't mean it's more used...."
Well that used to be the metric used by MySpace. - MScrip, on 08/14/2008, -0/+3If you want creativity, build your own website. Facebook is a directory.
I'm very creative... but I never felt the need to change the colors on my Facebook profile. It works fine. - onlysoma, on 08/14/2008, -0/+3The main reason I'm against the new facebook is because your profile, you know, the one customizable, personally identifying part of the site is now on the second page.
- MScrip, on 08/14/2008, -0/+3I hear ya. For personal communication, Facebook is it. Anyone I'd ever want to talk to is on Facebook, just search by name. Facebook is a directory. You can go to someone's profiles to write on their wall or send a message. While you're there you see their new photos or a friend they have found. It's great.
Or, I go to Gmail, compose a message, and stare at a blank screen. Oh, and that's only if I've manually collected and inputted their e-mail address. -
