myspace is terrible. Most people's pages are the most disgusting contrasting graphics you've ever seen and if you have your speakers on at all will BLAST you with loud, typically very obnoxious music before you can find the button to click to turn it off(or sometimes even before the button to turn it off finishes loading). Not to mention the ludicrous amount of bots constantly wanting me to add them.

That being said, I'm always more comfortable sending IMs or e-mails rather than calling people or addressing them face to face.

Based on this thread, I don't think so.

PM is cool, since it's like email, and they haven't blocked GRB at work. Yet. OR EVER.

I'll use facebook for sending messages for something going on later in the week, otherwise I use the phone.

For those of you that don't know, Facebook is more for college students than Myspace. Your full name is actually your username, you can't change your background to white with light gray text or add annoying music. The big benefit is you can tag friends in your pictures/videos so their personal image gallery will link to every picture they are tagged in.

i have sworn not to 'myspace' or 'facebook' myself. My 53 year old barely computer literate aunt has a myspace page & that was the last straw.
