Pete Posted March 3, 2007 Author Share Posted March 3, 2007 Have a go and sign up. I'll even be your friend I see what you mean mate. Like I said initially - maybe I'm just missing the point. Perhaps I'll give it a go and see what happens. Perhaps see if I can make the most boring MySpace account ever and see if people STILL want to link friends!

SupraStar 3000 Posted March 3, 2007 Share Posted March 3, 2007 I'm a completely different person from the old SupraSexPest 3000. I'm a reformed character Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Conrad Posted March 3, 2007 Share Posted March 3, 2007 Myspace is cool, as already said you meet loads of people you've lost touch with. Because of myspace I met up with some old friends from my younger days. I'm seeing one the girls now so all is good! You should give a try Pete. I used to think it was a load of bollox and didn't even tell my mates I was on there becuase it seemed daft. But one by one they've all signed up over the last few months. I'm not one if them muppets who has 1000's of friends though and I don't buy into the whole bulletin/blog crap - but myspace has it's uses.

Pete Posted July 25, 2007 Author Share Posted July 25, 2007 Tonight out of curiosity I started http://www.myspace.com/peterbarfield When I get more time I may even customise the layout and enter something interesting.....or maybe I won't. Still, I managed to find a couple of people I know. Most peoples names I tried to search came back with hundreds of results though Is there a trick to finding people with common names? So who wants to be my fwend? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RobSheffield Posted July 25, 2007 Share Posted July 25, 2007 I created and updated my myspace, and now rarely even go on. Facebook is a fairly cool way of staying in touch. its a kinda blend of networking and school reunion Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jezz Posted July 25, 2007 Share Posted July 25, 2007 Facebook rocks. I only started last week, and now am back in touch with practically all one of my old school friends. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete Posted July 25, 2007 Author Share Posted July 25, 2007 Wow. Already I have a fwend called Jez in MySpace and some geezer called Rob waiting in my Facebook. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
juanchan Posted July 25, 2007 Share Posted July 25, 2007 Facebook is more private. Only the people you want to be able to see your profile can. I never used myspace for that reason, but with Facebook you can choose to ignore people. Like I've done with some guys who were utter b*stards to me at school, but now, 8 years later, they want to be my friend! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dazzi Posted July 25, 2007 Share Posted July 25, 2007 I found a mate on myspace that I haven't seen for 7 years - thats one point that I can say is good. Oh and meeting some crackin birds in my area too so that a second Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I never realised that! Seeing as I can go on there and look at pretty much everyone's profiles, I simply assumed that it was all open and public. You learn something every day!

Pete Posted July 25, 2007 Author Share Posted July 25, 2007 That's my Facebook profile done then : http://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=673207200 (for now). Wow, I feel all 21st century...now I just need a DVD Recorder to replace my S-VHS box and HDTV so the transformation is complete. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pot Posted July 25, 2007 Share Posted July 25, 2007 I've got my MySpace page for my friends to keep in touch with me, I know there's a telephone, e-mail, or heaven help us, Snail Mail (I feel so CeeBeebies saying that), but in this day and age, when we're working hard, and so on, it can be quite a useful tool... I don't use it to hunt people out, and I keep my account to people I know and have at least spoken to, preferably people I've met... http://www.myspace.com/potsworth is me Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TrickTT Posted July 26, 2007 Share Posted July 26, 2007 I dont have msn or myspace or facebook (or any freinds:cry:), but didn't some bint get thrown out of uni recently cos she posted up some pics on facebook and the university hacked the account.

stevie_b Posted July 26, 2007 Share Posted July 26, 2007 Myspace reminds me of when the internet first became popular (for those of you old enough to remember). A lot of people thought it would be really cool to set up your own web site telling the world who you are and what amazing things you've been doing. Having your own web page was de-rigeur. It didn't take long for most of those people to get bored of it and abandon them. I wouldn't be surprised if Myspace goes the same way.

It wouldn't surprise me. I'd be keeping this quite professional as I know in the past clients have put my full name into Google before. Some stuff just shouldn't be read by people you do business with! Myspace reminds me of when the internet first became popular (for those of you old enough to remember).

It didn't take long for most of those people to get bored of it and abandon them. I wouldn't be surprised if Myspace goes the same way. I think that's why I'm so uninterested in it all. I've been using the net since 9600 modems and NCSA Mosaic via JANET at uni. The excitement of having my name and picture for "the world to see" like it's some kind of fame is of no interest to me. I do appreciate the networking benefits though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
