Friendship sites?

**Jeepo_SAS** · 04-20-2007, 12:56 PM

Just a general query i guess,

Was wondering how many fellow TGers have these type of pages, such as BEBO and MYSPACE? I have BEBO, but am i the only one?!?!:O

Tried my space once for a couple of weeks...At 41 I'm about twice the age of most of the community...felt a bit out of place so now my online communicating is done mostly by email or here.

I've got MySpace. It's been great for getting in contact with old friends. In fact, I just found out that a high school sweetheart is living just one state away from me and that her family's house was wiped out by Katrina.

If any of you remember a site called SixDegrees, MySpace is what that should have been...

I've never heard of Bebo.

I dislike MySpace because it looks like such a mess. Also, when people use it as a means of communication, I'm then obliged to search all their profile pages and whatnot for messages and such; it drives me crazy. Email and IRC ftw.

I have a boring life. I think my myspace page reflects this (it's empty).

**Pokerface** · 04-20-2007, 04:19 PM

I have thus far successfully avoided having a myspace login. I do belong to Orkut and Friendster though. Of the two, I actually find Friendster more useful for my purposes (which is usually just keeping tabs on friends rather than constant contact).

**Jeepo_SAS** · 04-20-2007, 06:55 PM

Bebo is more UK and Ireland based i think, i dont like myspace, too clutterd like you say ednos, but bebo is usefull for occasional chat, anything more, use msn!

**Wimpinator** · 04-20-2007, 11:18 PM

i don't have any of those. All of my "real life" friends are in a yahoo group that we created. My TG friends are here. Who needs anything else?

**Ferris Bueller** · 04-20-2007, 11:35 PM

By the way, we have a TG group on facebook.

**ednos** · 04-21-2007, 02:13 AM

But that means people in the online community will know my real name! That is unacceptable conduct, unless we're developing FOSS.

Bleak is my bestest friend, but only on Facebook

Maybe being a web developer for a living has skewed my perception a bit, but these sorts of sites are avoided like the plague. I almost clawed my eyes out browsing some of the hideous "personalized" page designs on MySpace and have never gone back.

That's why I don't browse MySpace. Yucky.
