MySpace vs. Facebook vs. Twitter

[Gerk]

Only one I partake in is Facebook and only relucatantly.

Wondering which social-networking website people use here or none of the above

What are advantages or disadvantages of each?

[captaincapper]

What are these things that you speak of? No really, my wife is the expert on these types of matters and she says that Facebook kicks MySpace's ass.

i use Facebook...used to be the best because it was only for people in college so it was kind of exclusive...but now its kinda like myspace where anyone can be on it. mainly used it to keep in touch with people from hs and college that are all over the country now

Yes, I've reconnected with alot of old college friends on Facebook. Kind of nice to know what people are up to that you haven't talked to in a long time.

Drives me crazy some of the people on there, --------- is going to take a nap now, --------- is going to eat lunch now. Can do without the hourly updates some people have on there.

Twitter is the new big one, I guess. Big article in the local paper today about it. Caused me to start this thread

I use Twitter. I like the fact that you are forced to express yourself in 140 characters or less.

im a Facebooker, but now check it like once a week. i reconnected with tons of high school and college friends which i met up with when i was home last weekend, but other than that I hate the updates every hour. senseless drivel or kind of like everything UVA says

[BigFratDaddy]

Facebook...


myspace is trash Facebook is class

[iggs111]

no, no, and no

Facebook. Found lots of people I haven't spoken with since High School.
It has helped me realize why I haven't spoken with them since High School.
Plus the once hot chicks are all old and fat and have kids; sort of kills the mental picture I had of these people for the past 20 years or so.

I do like the status changes:

Bob is planning to masturbate with an Oscar the Grouch muppet.
Bob just took the biggest shit this side of the Hudson River.
Bob paid a crack whore $3.50 to lick his taint for 7 minutes.

Like BFD said - Facebook is classy

really dumb vs. dumb vs. dumbest thing ever.........so Facebook i guess

[MightyMike]

I think My Space is more for Teenagers face book is kind of an grown up place to go IMO

[mvalentin]

in all honesty twitter has been great for injury updates, i've used it a couple times for that especially college players as now more college kids are into twitter rather than Facebook

also it helped me when i was in reno as my buddy would post his pics 5 minutes before post/tip off and i'd get the texts right to your phone

shaq and chris bosh are on it all the time and you can kinda see their mood going into games. Like the two games in Texas, Bosh was more focused on having his teammates over at his parents house for dinner rather than the Mavs and rockets

and this has nothing to do with basketball betting, but during the NHL trade deadline, twitter had the trades faster than TSN or Sportsnet

gee i sound like I work for them or something, but ya Twitter all the way
