Only if you go to it or are besieged by its users.

Myspace was (an still is) my first choice since all I do is keep in touch with some long distance friends and former co-workers. For the last 4 months many of the pages are loaded with junk apps and such. social networking is fine, but I have no use for the ‘social mining’ all the mindless quiz apps on facebook want. My time is valuable to me and I do not care for the all the phony glitz in the periphery. I agree with Karen that I do not care how long the line is in sprawlmart, nor when someone feels the need to tweet a bowel movement. Until Myspace becomes solidly jammed and un-usable I still prefer it over the other two.

On a side note, I wonder myself, does anyone really fall for the ‘this is not a joke’ or ‘her IQ is 88 – can you beat that ?’ crap that seems to occupy these type of sites ?

I use Myspace maybe once a week or so, but I keep it simple like poster Karen Bristow does. I don’t have a bunch of apps running, so the site is just as fast as any other I use. Basically, I just use it to stay in touch with a few friends.

I don’t have the time to mess with Twitter and all the constant postings about this, that, and everything, and Facebook keeps changing things like its terms, 3rd party marketing, etc., so for right now MySpace is fine for me.

It is amazing to see how many people have an actual addiction to social networking. My girlfriend loves going on to other peoples profiles just to keep tabs on them. I think it should be called paparazziforthemasses.com.

I am amazed even more about the amount of money that was invested into buying out Myspace so recently and there really has been nothing done to improve the site or intrigue anyone to actually use the website. Guess they spent all their money just buying the name up front and could not afford any talent to take the site to the next level.

We are working on getting our Twitter page established as our website grows. I don’t think I have fully grasped its full potential and how to utilize it most effectively. Hopefully we will get to that point soon… I long Twitter.

Facebook is by far the best out of those for many reasons. It allows you to customise it in so many ways so that it gives you what you need; if you don’t want certain app notifications you can disable them and I’ve not even started on the privacy features. Myspace however is just too disorganised and doesn’t really offer the same experience. The only reason I can think to use it is to check a bands page for new information and songs, and even that is going out the window.

I don’t Twitter.
I contact friends through EMail, Facebook, or LiveJournal

First twitter then facebook. Myspace is total BS. I left it a few months ago, so much happier!
