I have a MySpace but not a Facebook, probably because I read about security issues and thought it was a bad idea. Of course being sick, I have things on a bit of a hold right now.

I get loads of invites for Facebook though. This is probably because of some "invite/find all your friends by their email address" thingy, which could a good feature of anyone is searching for you.

Yeah, I've had a few facebook invites as well. It was probably top of my list to look at.

aside from LJ I've only got a facebook, I find it's very good for keeping you in close touch with people.

Is it just people you have on your friends list? Or are there any club-nights or business or whatever?

I have all of them!! But I rarely use myspace now, poke at Bebo a few times a week but Faceebook daily now. They are great to keep up with people and I especially like that when you get a notification of a message from facebook it tells you what it says within the message. Helpful as I can't log in to it at work!

As I asked Joe, do you just use them to keep up with people? Are you likely to add things like clubs to get notified of their events or things like that?

twi_light February 2 2009, 20:05:19 UTC

I use them for both. I've got a few groups on Facebook and get ntifications from bands and events too. I like that as I can read them in email same as messages.

Shall see if I can't find you on there.(not that great with it really!)

What email address do you use? I could send you the friend request?

I don't use MySpace, Facebook or Bebo, but I do use Flickr and Twitter, and I have some businesses on my "follow" list at Twitter, too. I find it useful for getting updates about server downtime, upgrades, etc etc. HTH :-)

Twitter doesn't make good reading on LiveJournal posts, I've noticed, but it does seem to be popular for getting up-to-the-second updates

I would agree, which is why I don't stream mine to LJ, but using it has made me feel like I'm in touch with my friends far more than I have been in years... probably since we all stopped having talker access all day every day, lol!

magent February 1 2009, 22:01:38 UTC

Ah yes, I have many fond memories of talkers :)

Facebook is probably worthwhile, just because it's "number one" these days. On Bebo all I get these days are spam-sex-add-requests.

The twitter thing isn't a bad idea.

magent February 1 2009, 20:36:34 UTC

Heh, I'll stay away from Bebo, then :)
