What do you think about Myspace?

My friend just invited me to join myspace and I don't really spend much time on online social networks. I have friendster and that's it I really don't know what's so special abt these sites. Now I've heard alot of people say Myspace is for wh*res and only for teens... what are your opinions abt this?

What do you think about Myspace?
I have to agree. I think it's a popularity contest, and a way to get recognized.
Reply:Myspace is full of ads and immature teens, but if you don't mind sifting through all that, it can be pretty useful, If only because loads of other people on there.





If you have a couple of friends on there it can be a useful communication tool.





I'd say get one and add your friends, try it out for a few days, and if you don't like it, you don't have to sign on again.





Social networking sites all seem pretty much the same to me, what makes them stand out is what the majority of your personal friends are using.
Reply:I am a 30 yr old single mother and I was kinda sceptic of Myspace to being told it was only for teenagers and so forth I actually had a account for about 6 months before I really got into it... And its a pretty cool way to express yourself (duh its your space) and you can keep up with old friends, find old classmates and I even found my cousins who I had not seen in over 10 years and we all have a page now and recently they visited me. I have also found old high school classmates. its also good just if you don't really wnat to talk so some people on a everyday basis you can always just let them know you are thinking about them and leave them a nice message or comment. and you can post pics so you can keep up with family and friends espcially if you have kids it s a easy way to show pict as wel. Expressing how you feel. so botttom line it all comes down to how you want to use myspace... If you have teenager with a page as a parent you need to be monitoring that page. and select you friends on you page wisely , only add people you know if it makes you feel more comfortable. Also its good for musicans b/c they can easily market themselves and put thier music out there for people to get a hold of. Again it all depends on how you yourself choose to use Myspace as with any other social networking site or dating site.
Reply:I'm a 14 year old male, and don't let my age put you off but the negatives mostly come from what the users do on these networks not the networks fault. I am currently signed up for Facebook, Bebo and my own which I am still working on. But honestly if you use common sence on any network you can avoid the bad things sometimes though it is down to the website's privacy settings if your a parent sign up to the network first and see what kind of privacy settings there are if your happy with them take your child through the signup and setup their settings and make sure they don't change them. Also take an intrest in what their doing but don't start posting comments and stuff on their profile as that could be embarrasing :P. Thats just my advice anyway I find MySpace has an ugly design so I just don't use it.
Reply:Hmm? I would say that Face book is more of a teenybopper sight. I am 44 years old, and I and all of my friends and family prefer MySpace. My


experiences with MySpace have all been good.


There are people and entities out there who can hack into all of the chat sites, not just MySpace.


One simply has to be wise enough to be able to recognize the spammers.


I personally know someone who was reunited with her father VIA MySpace. I know others who use MySpace to stay in contact with their family members and friends who are scattered all over the country. You can set your own levels of privacy


so that no one that you don't want viewing your personal info, like pictures etc... can't do so without your permission.


I guess you can tell I am an advocate of MySpace.


Just use it responsibly, and it can open up a whole new world for you.
Reply:I use myspace and mainly to keep in touch with my old friends. As I have moved around alot, I have met many people and even those that I didn't get a chance to get to know real well, I can now stay in touch with. However, do not accept a friend request from someone you don't know! That could be asking for trouble...

i love my myspace because i've reconnected with so many of all my old friends from as far back as elementary school


i spend alot of time talking to those people and i wouldn't change it for the world!


as far as kids are concerned - i think they should at least be in jr high and have the parents monitor everything
Reply:Myspace sucks, and can go die in a fire made of paper cuts. The only people who go there are 12-14 year olds that can't type, are immature, and are camera whores. FACT. The rest of the internet is a way better place for you. (That, and almost nothing on Myspace is funny.=/) You're better off with some other social network.
Reply:I am a parent and am curious to know about myspace. My daughter says alot of her friends have one. My daughter is very naive when it comes to some of the topics that teens talk about. I honestly think there are alot of predators out there that pretend to be teenagers. That is my opinion.
Reply:Honestly I don't think it's that great. It really makes people just look dumb, standing in front of mirrors and making really stupid faces.


On the other hand it's a nice way to keep in touch with people you don't see often or etc.





Though, I'd say the negatives outweight the positives.


Don't sign up.
Reply:Myspace is for everyone!!!! i have had a myspace account for the past 4 years and its great because it keeps me in touch with my friends.


once you have myspace you do go through a myspace obsession of always wanting to be on it, it dies off...well thats what i was like!!! lol :)
Reply:i don't think there is anything wrong with my space. i have one but i don't go to it very often. just be careful what you post. some people on there give out way too much information about themselves and that is not a very safe thing to do.
Reply:I like myspace and have found several people who I've lost touch with over the years.
Reply:I feel it is just wastage of time and energy....one social networking site is enough....if you want to choose my space...its good...be careful about your privacy...be safe and alert.
Reply:if you dont wana waste your time , then dont try myspace.
Reply:myspace is where u can meet new people and amke new friends
Reply:ITs lame, it only cool to talk to people who barely go on it, I mever check my or contact people
