These network things where you make a profile and see who0 else is on there that you know by travelling through these friendship webs, like a kind of formalised digital log of everyone you know...
... slightly creepy, but bizarrely compulsive. Hence - both.

I don't have enough time to go on anywhere else what with this, DiS (started a weblog today), Footie Manager and coursework.
I do wish for Bernard's watch sometimes ;D

I have a myspace account, but I never tell anybody about it, and I can't bring myself to write anything more personal than my first name and the music I listen to, so unsurprisingly, it hasn't done me a whole lot of good.
I'll go with neither.

I'm on myspace, I'm still not sure of the purpose, I think it's mainly for cyber flirting, but actually it's quite useful as a couple of my mates are on it a lot and we use it to arrange nights out..... Apart from that it's just interesting to see which oddballs are trying to make you their 135489825th 'friend'...

I use it because I have friends and acquiantances that live all over the place, I never see them really, and I can keep track of what they're up to, who knows who, send messages and posts etc. I didn't use it at all after Jober made me sign up, but then I discovered tonnes of people I know have a Myspace, and Friendster too. So it's fun again now.

Briefly thought about signing up with Friendster since one of my mates uses it - mainly to swap music recommendations with friends of friends..of friends who have a similar taste in music (at least, that’s all he admits to using it for!) but it seemed a wee bit weird, so I changed my mind.

Neither. Seeing people in real life is so much better ;D

i have myspace. sometimes i like it, sometimes i don't.
the best thing is browsing through all the people and finding the weird/funny/hideous/emo person and laughing.

Meh, I guess mySpace as I don't use Friendster. I think mySpace is a bit wierd though. Doesn't really feel like a community, just a mass of people in one place. Oh and I got some dodgy little slag who appears on a porn webcam site message me though other day...blatantly trying to drive desperate mugs to her site!! I've just requested friends from Junkplanet, Wishpig and Pretty_Vacant. You'd best link me up *shakes fist like old man*

Don't think I've ever looked at mySpace. What is it and how does it work?
Do Interpol reference it when he sings "You should be in mySpace" on ummm that song on Antics, the last one?

Erm...what are these sites? What are the benefits? Have I really got that much time? My vote hit the 'What the fuck?' bucket to the sound of the tinkle of a bicycle bell. Trrrring trrring...
