Facebook

Here I am on Facebook!
I'm cheating a little on this assignment because I have had a Facebook account for a few months. I researched Facebook, Myspace, and other social networking sites last fall when I created a presentation for parents on social networking as part of my former job. I created accounts on different sites and the Facebook site is the only one I sorta update. Myspace is just too busy and loud for my 30-something self. I know I would have loved it when I was younger, but now I'm just frustrated by the graphics and music. I do have a friend or two my age who use it, but the majority of people my age that I know are either not using any of the SN sites, or they are on Facebook. But then again, sometimes I look at Facebook and wonder, 'what am i supposed to be doing on this site?' It seems a bit too vanilla to me at times. So what I'm going to do for this assignment is delve a bit deeper into Facebook and see if I can find anything relevant to me, besides my few friends who are already on it. Here I go...

I agree that Facebook is more visually attractive to me than MySpace. MySpace is both frenetic and ugly - I think I'd be happy with one or the other, but not both. Sort of like coworkers who are surly AND incompetent.

Just hypothetically speaking.
