matt_hill_01 Posted March 10, 2007 Share Posted March 10, 2007 A non-techie mate has been banging on at me to create a MySpace page.. just wondering; any of you lot created one? Is it worth doing or do you just get weirdos? Thought I'd best check before going ahead. Thanks ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sweet waffle Posted March 10, 2007 Share Posted March 10, 2007 I've got one, found loads of new music through it and old school friends have been in contact through it as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phillip Posted March 10, 2007 Share Posted March 10, 2007 Over in the States, it is a thing the under-25 crowd does, to attract the opposite sex. I am well over 25, and have an old lady, so I have no interest in it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

g3.7 Posted March 11, 2007 Share Posted March 11, 2007 to be honest, I find myspace to be an exercise in vanity. of course, there are exceptions, but to me its mainly people saying how great they are. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BackInBlue Posted March 11, 2007 Share Posted March 11, 2007 Facebook kicks MySpace's arse to be honest but more people have MySpace but yes, as Phillip said it more of a U-25 phenomenon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mad_mac Posted March 11, 2007 Share Posted March 11, 2007 I use bebo, which I signed up for mainly to get birthday reminders. I know a few people who use myspace, and they have rekindled old friendships etc. I like bebo as it allows me to keep in touch with folk from home without the expense of phone bills, and it is a bit more personal than email! Myspace, I have heard good and bad things about...facebook I know a girl on there, but it just didn't look as user friendly as bebo. however, all these types of things are for a younger crowd, but they still have a purpose for us over 25s Scott Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul_Seery Posted March 11, 2007 Share Posted March 11, 2007 Facebook kicks MySpace's arse to be honest but more people have MySpace but yes, as Phillip said it more of a U-25 phenomenon. I agree. As a member and frequent user of facebook I find it much better than myspace. The main reason being it looks nicer and it is much more easier to upload photos on there. Facebook rules!

yorkleyblue Posted March 12, 2007 Share Posted March 12, 2007 My wife has a musician's MySpace to advertise her singing - That works very well. However, when she told her sister about it, the sister went off on one and set herself and her husband up as well. They seem to be in this "I must be great, look at the number of myspace friends I've got" game. For musicians at least, it's a very useful tool. For non-musicians I think that Myspace, Bebo, Facebook and the rest are either a vanity thing or a way to get a shag (either real or cyber) Kev PS - I ain't got any of them - I got a life instead Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
