Socializing on the Net

[Lynnie]

What else is out there:

myspace
facebook
twitter
sowal
probably many other message boards


What do All Y'all like, prefer and why? Just curious~~~~~~

I use myspace primarily for dating and facebook for family and close friends. I absolutely hate twitter though...the idea of constantly updating what I am doing is not appealing to me.

Thank you for saying that about Twitter, Douglas! I shut it down after one week. The final post that I received that inspired me to close it: "Eating glorious spinach salad at ___. As we look around, its very sad, no one talks to each other anymore, everyone has a device in their hands and is typing away"
UHHH, Duhhhh??! Look in mirror? :roll:

This was preceded by thousands of "Tomato sandwich for lunch", "Listening to Abba", "Be nimble in business" and "Playing Mariocart" type posts received during the busy workday. Ugh.

I'm sure it works for many people. I just choose to post my dribble elsewhere. Enjoying new Facebook account, but wish I'd been more selective in adding friends...

I've never tweeted, most likely never will. Isn't Facebook somewhat similar, just longer version of "I'm doing so and so..." Though Myspace is starting to be passe, at least it sort of starts with questions "How are you? Where do you live? What are you wearing? (Just Joking!!! FTLOC)

What are you wearing? (Just Joking!!! FTLOC)

There is a de-select button. I've had to use it once.

Uh-oh, sharkbait? I've just been hiding their useless posts, so off I go play with the de-select button, thanks! Kindof hoping Facebook offers a juicy selection of "thanks but no thanks" notes to choose from.......ha

 

[seagrovegirl]

okay...three have been de-selected............

I like Facebook for keeping up with family and finding old friends. I also use tripadvisor.com for other locations outside of sowal.
