Facebook/Myspace

A mate of mine made a Facebook for me, but I don't see the point.

It can be a good tool to contact people who don't read their mail, are almost never in MSN/ICQ or don't have any of that. Something like that, but then some don't reply to other messages either, strange world.

I've found that facebook and myspace is the only way to contact some people. Also for my buddies in Afghanistan and Iraq it shows their last login date on myspace which must be pretty good for family that login, even without a message.

Don't use either, msn is enough for me really.

I have it, but I almost never use it. If I need to contact a friend, I give them a phone call. Anything that isn't urgent enough for a call can wait until the next time I see them.

I was browsing G4's Around The Net, and I came across this gem: http://www.collegehumor.com/video:1787501
Facebook would seem infinitively (not really) more interesting if they did that for real.

I sort of see Facebook as just the latest trend, which I think is why my friends joined. In a year, they'll forget about it.

That was great.

I actually think it's not bad, before people would have adress books with all the stuff about their friends written into them (well, I attempted to make one as a kid

), now you just add them to your friends in facebook and have them update their info for you. The whole additional stuff like having huge photo albums and so on is nice but I don't really use it most of the time.

It's also good for the industry, makes another poor guy or two rich and as such we all contribute to the health of our country.
