Missymew Posted October 11, 2007 Share Posted October 11, 2007 A friend at work convinced me to join Facebook. I've discovered that it's a great way to keep in touch with my nieces and nephews with their busy schedules. I was wondering if anybody on this forum has joined Facebook or Myspace? -Susanne Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wenlaine Posted October 11, 2007 Share Posted October 11, 2007 I've been on Facebook for some time now. It's a great place to find old friends and meet new ones too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KathieB Posted October 11, 2007 Share Posted October 11, 2007 I have a listing on myspace.com ... I set it up when the teenage daughters set up theirs. If they want a website on there, they have to keep it private and they have to have us listed as friends, so we can see what's going on. It helped them make a few corrections on their sites ... like the then-15-year-old must have made a typo when she listed herself as being 18, eh? ;) And their friends have definitely cleaned up their language in messages. I only go on it every 4-6 weeks, but they don't know that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
redneck princess Posted October 11, 2007 Share Posted October 11, 2007 i don't have a facebook, but do have a myspace, it is a great way to catch up with family and friends. my name on there is kath, but mine is set as private... i might have to look into facebook,too.

chesterfieldzoo Posted October 11, 2007 Share Posted October 11, 2007 I have a myspace. It is definitely a young person venue. I joined just so I could read their (the kids) stuff. It is hilarious. I am a 6'7" alien. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Intrinsicat Posted October 11, 2007 Share Posted October 11, 2007 None of the above. I watched my teen cousin go through some major self esteem damage control from high school bullying online. So nobody in our house uses the generic online communities... we'll work our way up to it when the kids are older. Right now we all play on ClubPenguin.com. It's fun for the whole family to meet out in cyberspace and great training for the kids to communicate online... You can keep your penguin in bubble-talk mode (where they have to select from a list of sayings) for younger kids, and then upgrade to actual typing chat when the kids are old enough. Plus, you have your own igloo, a pet and stuff you can collect, and they keep it fresh, with new games and celebrations - they'll have it decorated for Halloween soon! And those parts are all FREE! If you actually get an account, your penguin can buy all sorts of clothes, pets, decorate their igloos... I highly recommend it for little kids (and big kids like me). I also have found it to be an integral first step in developing online communication skills for the little ones... you can become a 'spy' fairly easily, and it's very empowering for the kids to feel like they can monitor and report abuse (not that they've actual run across any yet!) I can't say enough, without charging them as a spokesperson - if you've got kids, they'll love it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sunshines_minis Posted October 11, 2007 Share Posted October 11, 2007 I have both,I never use facebook. I find it harder to navigate through. Myspace is much easier to find people and hobby things. Just look for the Sunshine that is Christian Goth. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RobinS Posted October 11, 2007 Share Posted October 11, 2007 I have a myspace account. Been there for a while. Keeps me in touch with DH's family who are all over the States. Now if I could only get him on there it would be a miracle! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ms. Mini Posted October 11, 2007 Share Posted October 11, 2007 I have both. Myspace is more for family and some of my friends that i dont talk to as much. Facebook i use to keep in contact with my "core" group of girlfriends. i like them both very much Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Librarian-Sarah Posted October 11, 2007 Share Posted October 11, 2007 I have a bare-bones myspace page, but for the most part I keep up with my online friends through our respective blogs/livejournals, use LinkedIn and library blogs/listservs for my professional network, and forums like this one for my hobbies/fandoms. Most of my relatives are most comfortable with email, so that's pretty much how I stay in touch with them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Missymew Posted October 11, 2007 Author Share Posted October 11, 2007 I'm finding it a great way to keep in touch with extended family and some of my friends. -Susanne Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Irene Posted October 11, 2007 Share Posted October 11, 2007 I'm on myspace...never checked out facebook....My daughter convinced me to open a myspace account...I occasionally sign on to vent!!! lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SuzyQ Posted October 12, 2007 Share Posted October 12, 2007 Yes I have one of both. I prefer My Space because it has more personality. But Face Book is faster with my dial-up. I got on because RayAnne wanted to have one. It is a great way to keep in touch with what your kids and their friends are up too. RayAnne laughs because when her friends found out that I had one they all wanted to be "MY Friend" I Love it!!! I am on it more than her. LOL LOL It is also a great way to get in touch with old friends. If anyone is interested in being added to My Friends List send me a PM and I will send you the link!!!!

CJEP Posted October 12, 2007 Share Posted October 12, 2007 I have myspace and friendster pages. I don't use either very often, but former students occasionally find me on there which is nice to catch up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
