I just spent about half an hour on facebook, i feel dirty.

Okay, it isn't sooo bad...but I just feel it's a shame that it goes from one fad to the next. I mean ICQ is still cool right???

HAHAHAHahaha... you dirty boy~

As long as it doesn't become as corrupt as MySpace *shudder*

hahaha. Yeah every man and his dog is asking me "DO YOU HAVE A FACEBOOK YET?". I refuse to, as it's the american university sorority version of myspace, and therefore a fad. When the 37 year old woman at work asks you if you'll friend her, you know it's not cool.

American university sorority version of myspace? You make it quite clear that you haven't bothered to look at it.

"Initially the membership was restricted to students of Harvard University. It was subsequently expanded to other Boston area schools (Boston College, Boston University, MIT, Tufts), Stanford, Northwestern, and all Ivy League schools within two months. Many individual universities were added in rapid succession over the next year. Eventually, people with a university (e.g .edu) email address from institutions across the globe were eligible to join. Networks were then initiated for high schools and some large companies. Since September 11, 2006, it has been made available to any email address[2] user who inputs a certain age range. Users can select to join one or more participating networks, such as a high school, place of employment, or geographic region

Copy pasting a link from wiki doesn't make you any less of a douche. If you want to pass it off as a myspace and the negative press that goes with it then be my guess. All I'm going to say is that facebook really isn't a blogging community site like myspace and needn't be attributed the same negative press.

ICQ is still a great idea, and I'm still sure that it is tonnes better than msn, it was simply a case of msn taking over due to the installer user base, hotmail and people being morons. Tonnes of people shifted to gmail several years ago because it doesn't suck, but everyone didn't shift over to gchat or whatever it is did they?

Myspace tries to be a blogging site and a friends network at the same time and there are quite a lot of elements to it. Myspace seems to be designed for web people to waste time on.

Facebook is just the friends network part without the unnecessary myspace stuff. Honestly, all you need to do is add a simple profile and the network is great for keeping in contact with friends, and seeing whats going on plus throwing up photo albums and whatever.

I honestly hope it isn't a fad. It would be a very useful tool over a long period of time.
