we all know stacy and garron have a myspace, but recently they've decided "we're game" to be friends on facebook. dont get me wrong.. i totally love it and think its great and super cool of them. but im just wondering, why facebook and not myspace? i thought maybe we'd be added only being able to view the "limited profile" and thats why they chose facebook instead of myspace.. but it seems like the full profile to me. (could be wrong) so it got me thinking, is it because myspace gives off more of a creepy/stalker vibe than facebook? and i think it does. why? im not really sure yet. perhaps things just seem more accessible via myspace than facebook? the search there (on myspace) is certainly easier to figure out and its hard to find people who are not in your network on facebook. anyone care to divulge? _________________ creation is salvation |

I find Myspace more interesting, but all of my friends are on Facebook so I'm on it more. I vote myspace. _________________ www.kailahandler.bandcamp.com |

I like facebook better because it's easier to set up a profile, and it's easier to stay in touch with people you know. I don't think it's any more difficult to find people on facebook than on myspace ... you just put a name in the search engine. I've always had a lot of trouble finding people on myspace unless I know their username. Plus I like that facebook helps you find people you might know.... Whatever. Myspace seems way creepier to me. There's way more ads on myspace too. Although, facebook used to be a lot less "creepy" than it is now. When it was just colleges, you had to have a college email to even get on it. So you kinda had to be who you said you were. Even now, though, profiles are automatically private except to your friends or people in your network. And there's better privacy features. All in all, I think facebook is safer and more private than myspace. But that's just me. Beyond that, though, myspace just annoys me. I'm on it, but less and less of my friends actually use myspace. _________________ Facebook & Twitter & Blog(ish)-type thing |

*edit* Whoa, I totally read everything wrong. I thought this was asking which we preferred... in which case, I would've said: Facebook seems safer (or has options to make it safer) for users, easier, less advertising, seems to have fewer users therefore less maintenance problems, users can't ruin/decorate their profiles by customizing it with glittery stuff and ten thousand pictures that make it forever to load, etc. But since it's not.. Myspace is totally more creepy. I voted wrong too in that case. _________________ Be happy, be contagious. |

Myspace. I dunno. I just haven't heard many creepy stories of kids' mothers getting on to bash other kids, or people posting suicide notes on facebook, etc etc. All the creepy stories seem to be about myspace. Plus, I think it's a little more public than facebook (unless you edit your profile not to be). _________________ My name is actually Sarah. Facebook. Twitter. |

I pick neither. Not because I'm a social networking misanthrope, but I just don't care. ha ha. I have both, I use both. I spend about 10 minutes a day on both combined. (Unless I actually have to write something to someone.) I don't put anything on either that you can't find anywhere else (last name, address, etc.). I put my last name out in college and high school, and it's not really any worse than that. I'm not a girl, but I think you're more likely to get a stalker from a classroom than a web site (as long as you are smart about it). _________________ My photography:www.jamiemphoto.com You can't spell awesome without emo...backwards! -Julie definingawesome (11:44:11 PM): Eisley shivers our timbers |
