You can block anyone but your friends from seeing your profile, so only add people you know and trust!! All the 'zombie' and 'vampire' nonsense pisses me off, 6 months ago they didnt have all this application crap, it was so simple, and easy to use, everyone loved it. Now 95% of my friends are annoyed with it, but obviously won't stop using it because everyone does. In a years time there will be a new version no doubt and this fad will wear off (or I hope so at least!)

It will be interesting to see if it lasts...

It also seems that facebook is staunchly middle class, whereas Myspace is a bit more wide ranging.....

The fact that the burgeoning middle classes are esconsed in facebook, and it's got the torygraph stamp of approval might ensure its longevity......

i prefer myspace because of the music.

Facebook's the internet version of Subway - the first time you have it, you think: 'ooh this is alright.' But then on your second time, you think: 'hey this is just a sandwich, what's the point?' Facebook's the same, but obviously without sandwiches (it would be better with sandwiches though), just sort of inane. I've got lots of old uni friends who I realise again why I didn't like that much. I also like to follow the lives of people who annoy me, and feel glee when their relationship status goes to 'single'.
The only real use to it is a free texting service and to play scrabulous.

My dog has a facebook account, me too. And the dragon, and her siblings, and my son. There is no escape!
I like the 'grafittiwall' application.

My nieces and nephew are on it - they have all sent me the links or whatever, but as far as I can see they spend all the time out of their heads on booze or drugs. The niece has just lost her driving licence for a year, but it doesn't say that on her site.
