Newsworthy

Does exactly what it says on the tin. Some of the nonsense contained herein may be very loosely related to The Sisters of Mercy, but I wouldn't bet your PayPal account on it. In keeping with the internet's general theme nothing written here should be taken as Gospel: over three quarters of it is utter gibberish, and most of the forum's denizens haven't spoken to another human being face-to-face for decades. Don't worry your pretty little heads about it. Above all else, remember this: You don't have to stay forever. I will understand.

Friendly chums??. It's a bit long but very juicy. Could be particularly enlightening for Facebook members. :urff:

Thanks for this, Spige. I'm glad that I never bothered with Facebook; makes me think that opting-out of MySpaz (to the extent that I can, with Big Brother watching :roll:) is probably a good idea. The notion of going underneath the radar gets more appealing every day... :von:

Yeah, that was quite a read. I'm too entrenched in my Myspace ways to either leave it or join Facebook... and though I don't really care what info The Man has on me personally, I'm against it in principle and I do hate to think I'm lining the pockets of a bunch of Thatcherites/Reaganites... :urff:

I'm sticking with Myspace, 'cos soon it's going to be retro and thus once again cool. And you know how much I care about being seen to have my finger on the beating pulse of the latest fashions!

Ah, well, I use it more and more, re-found some people I'd long lost, which isn't bad! (even though I like how myspace works better, the sh*tload of apps on facebook can be quite annoying) And all the privacy stuff cited in the article, I think you just have to keep in mind every single letter or word you ever entered on the internet can be traced back to you if they want to, or am I just being overly paranoid here?

Right. Methinks I'll scrap my facebook account.

I got a Facebook account to keep in touch with two friends thousands of miles away as they are like "totally on it the whole time", but it's turned out that I've discovered a lot of my family on there that I don't really know that well so now of course I am in touch with them a lot. BUT I do find those bloody applications really irritating, I just ignore them now. I much prefer MySpace!

There are two words for the topic of adds on the web:
Firefox and Adblock. (I tried to give you the link as well, but got sent to a german site again and again. :roll:) Talking about addons, NoScrpt is a goody as well. Especially for Windoze users. :wink:

Smart money says Facebook is approaching its peak anyway (Clicky) and the online social network of the future is...

...the Internet itself.

Seems I'm the lone voice speaking in favour of FB, then. More versatile and less open to abuse than MyArse, with completely blockable applications, the as yet unbeaten photo-tag feature, and the quite reliable event/group management facilities.

Mind you, I don't use my real name or anything else relevant to my humdrum real life, so perhaps I've got the best of both worlds.
