I don't get myspace or facebook
I recently started pages on both sites, but I don't see what the big deal is.

Am I missing something? Or is it just not fun when you don't have any friends?

6. I don't do Facebook, but I have over 5,700 Myspace friends
For me, it's all about music networking

It's pretty good for that

7. I had a myspace page but, I hated navigating the system. Lately,
I have thought about trying facebook. It is supposed to be easier to maneuver. I don't know if I would bother except for the fact that I attended 5 high schools in 4 years in 3 different states and I would like to connect with some people and catch up with their lives.

8. I have a myspace
and I also have a facebook, but I really don't get the appeal of it. It confuses me with all of the applications and other crap I don't want or need.

9. I have a facebood account, and it is kind of useless...
...If you want to talk to someone, why not just shoot them an e-mail?

10. Facebook has helped me reconnect with people I have lost track of.
Now I have their phone numbers and email addresses so I can drop them an email.

12. Nope.
I was the burn out wall flower type in high school. I really only grew a personality in adulthood.

...unrelated reason. I had 13 consecutive posts going, with no reply from anyone. 15 is my tops. And then you had to reply to my post. I was 3 away from being Mr. Irrelevant, and you blew it for me. I'm pissed...x(

16. Most of my Facebook activity seems to be private messages!
People from way back checking how things are.

I'm not big on the applications though.

18. I don't do social networking
There are plenty of people I've spent years avoiding, and I'm not about to start advertising for them to send me inane emails about crap I couldn't care less about.

19. Sounds like me
;)

I social network with people in-person. I have a small number of friends that are true friends, not just some online acquaintance. I know people from all over the world, but it is still miniscule in number compared to some of these networking sites.

That and I think MySpace is THE junkiest format for a website I have ever had the displeasure of attempting to look at.
