Facebook and MySpace: Hate it or love it?

That's what I'm sayin' about it. I just feel like anyone who is so casual of an acquaintance that I'm only going to talk to them via MySpace or Facebook is too casual of an acquaintance to put any energy into that relationship. That might be the cynic in me, but really, I don't have, need or want relationships with a hundred people who are going to be pissed off at me if I don't, "Answer their comment..."

Must just be me then. When I had a myspace page I got emails from the craziest people....

I have a myspace page but I don't spend much time on there at all. It's nice to find old friends, I've gotten in touch with 5-6 old school buddies since signing up so it's not bad in that respect.

Why isnt there a 'thewarpath.net' facebook group? Seriously. Someone should get on that.

Good question, I would join just too lazy to make one.

The one nice thing about MySpace is that a lot of really stupid people post a lot of really dumb "tell all" accounts of their weekend...like my 16 year old half sister who included my wife (yeah, she has a page) on as a friend. Unbeknownst to her, I read some of these accounts of parties and going someplace that's not where mom and dad think she is. Some of the stuff she wrote had my jaw dropping all the way down to the basement. So, I saved and printed the webpages for future use. The material I have could have her grounded for life + 20.

By the way, I guess I don't think she's stupid (straight A student), just making some incredibly stupid decisions.

Lesson #37, folks: Don't write anything down in cyberspace that someone can use against you.

I use myspace much like I use this forum. Just to talk to people. Working at night with no coworkers can get boring.

Yup. The Wall Street Journal ran a story a few months ago about how employers are starting to run searches of young job candidates on myspace, facebook, etc. Apparently, a healthy minority of candidates are screened out of the hiring process based on their web pages.

I'd make the group and invite you guys...but I dont know who you are.
