Who else thinks myspace/facebook is odd??!!?

I have had a myspace and facebook profile in the past but found it weird. I find it strange that a lot of the people on there who claim to have loads of on-line friends haven't even met some of them! An ex-friend at work's daughter asked to my myspace friend, said yes just to seem polite then she said I was stalking her coz I was her myspace friend!!!! WEIRD!!! I think it can be dangerous to add people you don't even know of, you could tell them private things that even your real friends don't know. Do these people even meet up with the people who they have never met? Probably not coz it would get reid of the air of mystery. I like seeeing my friends face to face, not over a computer screen. It is too easy to ask to be a friend on myspace etc. if they don't ask you in real life then they don't really see you as a friend, it just bumps up their friend numbers so they can boast to their other friends, real or on-line.

well dont accept people you dont know as friends then.. i see myspace and facebook as a tool to be able to keep in touch with friends from college (which was 1200 miles away) and finding old friends that i havent seen in about 10 years due to alot of moving. so far both applications have worked out great for me. so no, i dont agree with you.

Love Facebook ... found many long lost friends from around the world !!!

I have both.

Set your profiles to private and don't add people you don't know. If one of your friends starts harrassing you or saying/doing something that scares or worries you on myspace/facebook, just delete them from your friend-list.

It's perfectly safe that way.

No, I don't think those sites are odd (I've made some really kewl online friends over they years...some also became offline friends), but there are so many kids on those sites that it loses some appeal for me.

I use Facebook for REAL friends (old and new) and MYSPACE is for meeting (on the old internet and not real life) new guys %26amp; girls. I also use MYSPACE alot to find new bands and gigs :)

I mainly used to use facebook to keep in touch with my college friends over breaks. Now that I've graduated it's a great way to keep in touch with them because I don't get to see everyone everyday anymore. Myspace I've used to get in touch with really old friends like people from elementary, middle, and high school that i've lost touch with. It's interesting to see how some of my childhood friends have turned out! I do have 1 or 2 people on my myspace that I have not met in real life. I do NOT tell them anything that I wouldn't tell any of my real-life friends. and a lot of info (i.e. where i live, phone number etc) I don't give out. But we have things in common and it's good to talk to new people...kinda like penpals only over the computer.

There are people that aren't safe with their info on these sites...but that I don't understand why especially with all of the media surrounding myspace...you'd think people would have learned by now.
