Yes, we covered this sort of last year. Slightly different question, and things can change quite a bit in a year.

jen / October 23, 2007 12:35 PM

I've been on facebook pretty much since it started, but what the hell is this twitter thing? I've abandoned friendster almost entirely, and mainly use myspace and facebook.
But today they added facebook profiles for pets? Out of control.

snuh / October 23, 2007 12:36 PM

I wish it would all just go away; people take this social networking crap way too seriously.
Hopefully twitter will be the last coffin nail...lameness.

Shasta / October 23, 2007 12:38 PM

I have a Facebook page, but only because my neice asked me to sign up. I only pay attention to it when she's written something on my "wall" or whatever. Other than that? Pfft. Don't really care about it.

I'm in my 30s and have a blog. I don't need a web page (what a throwback to the early days eh?) for youngun's to look at and former classmates track me down.

Once again, pfft.

kate / October 23, 2007 1:01 PM

I have an account but I don't understand how Facebook works. I don't really care to learn, either.

MySpace is one of the greatest time-wasters ever. Looking up people you used to know is really great entertainment.

I have no idea what twitter is. Sounds dirty. At a geezerish 26, I'm probably too old for MySpace, definitely too old for Facebook and don't even want to think about twitter.

Steven / October 23, 2007 1:07 PM

These sites are fun at first, then it becomes a hassle.

Spook / October 23, 2007 1:11 PM

Twitters! WTF???
I'm just hearing about freak'n Face Book!

Four months ago my Ex from 3 years ago sent me a link to be on her Face book. I feel bad because I never responded. It wasn’t personal- we parted as friends, but I wasn't aboutto create a new Face Book account and actually I felt kinda put upon. How is Face Book better than Myspace? Why should I change? I’m not 22 any more. I first opened a Friendster account years ago and recently btw, just got a creepy "look" from some one I knew long ego in college, that I’m not interested in hearing from, scary. Now I keep in touch with MySpace. It’s cool because you get to listen to strange music and look at cool art. But come on. Why should I open another one? I’m too old. I’m gonna die with MySpace.

Actually I’m thinking of taking a picture of me( and posting it) with a "bandanna around (my) face to compliment the beret and viva la revolucion.”!

I alreday have some personal art on my MySpace, so I’m hoping to qualify as a “slender male art thug”

I totally love that! "“slender male art thug”!

pantagrapher / October 23, 2007 1:18 PM

I got on Facebook about a week ago and quickly found some friends from olden days. But what now?

The problem for me is that the returns on having an account decrease rapidly after those first few days. I mean, I love exchanging virtual kegs with former classmates and poking strangers as much as anyone, but even that will eventually get old.

Carrie / October 23, 2007 1:19 PM

Just myspace. It took a few weeks of convincing me to join a couple of years ago. It was fun at first, but now it's kind of annoying. I hear great things about facebook, but I know it'll be one more thing I don't want to keep up with. Why bother keeping my myspace you ask? They have me sucked in and I can't bring myself to get rid of it... yet. Plus sometimes I get a kick out of reading my high school class of '97 page. Yeah, that's always good for a laugh.

I haven't heard of twitter, but I think I missed the boat on being a millionaire with all these networking sites.

Sam / October 23, 2007 1:26 PM

I'm on myspace but I really only check it every few days looking for bulletins about parties or other events. I have a lot of acquaintances that are musicians, DJs, artists, etc, so it is useful to keep up with their self-promotions that way.

Facebook is for kids. I refuse to waste more time on another site when 80% of my friends on myspace would never join facebook, so I'd be pointless. Facebook does seem to have more options, but they pretty much exemplify all the stuff I DON'T like about myspace.

Twitter just seems like the biggest waste of time, ever. I really don't give a fuck what my friends are doing RIGHT now, and if they really care that much about what I'm spending every minute doing, I don't think we should be friends.

I dated this guy who had to delete his myspace (twice) because he "was spending too much time on it". Seriously. You people need to get hobbies or actively try to something productive if it's controlling your free time so much. I find it pathetic.

Nuke LaLoosh / October 23, 2007 1:34 PM

How can I get Blagg the Axman among my friends on MySpace?

Also, has GB ever considered calling that column/feature "Ask the Axman?" Or should that be "Axe the Askman?" Though I like the "BtA" title just fine.

Okay, back to work.

Caffeine Free / October 23, 2007 1:40 PM

I'm on MySpace and got on Facebook when it first started, but I had an account for several months with one friend...my little brother.

I can admit that it is totally pointless, self gratifying, narcissistic crap, but I'm addicted.

I mean, no one gives a shit about what "Caffeine Free is..." doing, eating, saying, thinking but I update it anyway.

It's no way to keep in touch with friends, yet I find myself reading MySpace blogs so I do know what's going on with them.

Basically, I admit that being a 28 year old "professional" means that I could/should find better ways to spend my time, but so far, I haven't done so.

flange / October 23, 2007 1:56 PM

in another life, i ran online communities for a number of large and small companies, organizations and groups. i'm pretty cynical about them since then. a friend did something interesting with twitter... wrote a short story in real time, complete with cliffhangers. but really i don't care for updates of my friends' lives every few minutes or ever day. i'll catch up with them on the phone or at a bar or just walkin round the hood.

(nonetheless: pry my iphone out of my cold dead hands.)

Katie / October 23, 2007 1:57 PM

I only bother with Facebook, because it lets me find old friends from high school and college. It seems like Myspace is for young kids, and the site is too annoying/ugly to use.

skafiend / October 23, 2007 1:57 PM

Ah, it's all a big hassle. I signed up on MySpace a couple of years ago, but now I have even more people in my life griping at me saying "Why haven't you responded to me?" AND I'VE NEVER MET THEM!!! Who needs it? I glanced at that Facebook crap, but couldn't bear the thought of filling out another "Describe yourself" profile thingy. I know people say they use it to keep up with friends, but if I haven't done it before that, I probably really don't want to stay in touch. I mean we all do have phones. And then there is the inevitable "join my network" friend hunt that eventualy becomes just a bunch of porn sites looking to hook you in. Who needs to sift through more junk mail? I decided the only "Facebooking" I'm going to do from now on is with real people I already know and "MySpace" is the stool at the end of the bar. This whole online keeping-in-touch, here's-who-I-am stuff is tiresome. To me.

Andrew / October 23, 2007 2:03 PM

@Nuke LaLoosh: You can ask Blagg questions now -- he loves getting email. Check the end of his column for the address.

Mindy / October 23, 2007 2:09 PM

i have a facebook account, which i use mostly to post pictures of the wedding cakes i decorate so people can see how awesome they are and then tell me they think they're awesome. i also like to look at the pictures posted by people i went to school with to see how fat they've gotten. for me, facebook is just a huge ego boost.

jennifer / October 23, 2007 2:14 PM

hells no. I can't socially network on the sites I do belong to, let alone in my real life. plus, I don't need undergrads that I teach tracking me down, poking me, friending me, or whatever it is that they do on those sites.

eep / October 23, 2007 2:16 PM

I have a MySpace account specifically to keep up with friends who love MySpace. Frankly, I hate their interface, hate their ads, hate the spam... I barely use it.

I did Twitter for about three days and lost interest.

Facebook makes me want to hide under the bed.

That said, I do have a LiveJournal account that I live by. But I've had the accounts for 4½ years, and I'm not that keen on meeting new people through it. I'll just keep the friends I've got already, thanks.

Several people have contacted me re: LinkedIn, which so far has been a weird combo of socializing with former coworkers and helping people I know get recommendations for new jobs.

I don't know why it's suddenly so awesome to have all these networking sites going. Is everyone just really bored at work all the time?

Caffeine Free / October 23, 2007 2:42 PM

Very, very, very, very bored at work.

I need to write book or screenplay or something...plenty of downtime around here...

Baldeesh / October 23, 2007 2:43 PM

Never interested in Facebook - one of my sisters regularly fills me in on the drama she's experiencing, and while it's hysterical, it's just not my thing.

I do have a Myspace account that I use to keep in touch with friends and stuff. Though I'm not looking to make new friends over the internets.

I've got a livejournal, too. Started originally to keep friends scattered around the country up to date about my life. It's still used for that, but it's random stuff like being bitching about general irritants, updating everyone on the colors my sprained ankle has turned today, and maybe sharing a moment of enlightenment or the cute thing the cat did today. Not really for making new friends, but it does happen.

skafiend / October 23, 2007 2:53 PM

Caffeine...

start writing that screenplay or book or short stories. I do it at work sometimes and trust me, it provides a welcome break and results in something that actually matters.

BTW, anyone want to start an open mike story night, contact me. Sick of poetry and all the other story readings Ive run across are for specific established writers only, not anyone who just wants to get up and read. Take those blogs off the screen and read them in front of real people!

Wendy / October 23, 2007 3:16 PM

I'm on MySpace mostly because when you have a book out, you're pretty much expected to have a presence there. Most of the people who've friended me are people I don't know at all, but that's sort of the point, I guess.

I joined MySpace so grudgingly that I refused to join Facebook for a long time. I finally gave in once I saw that the interface isn't as clunky and god-awful ugly as MySpace.

So now, yes, I'm on Facebook, too, though I've decided I'm not going to add any complete strangers as friends. I guess I'm going to try to have MySpace and Facebook serve different purposes.

Val / October 23, 2007 3:21 PM

I deleted my myspace a few months ago. I never used it. I got weird friend requests from people named FiestyFranLA and whatnot. I couldn't handle the HTML backgrounds people chose that almost made me start to seizure when I opened a page or had to nurse my ears back to health from a song set to play when I went to a person's page... not for me.

I like facebook because I know who I'm talking to. They are old classmates, friends, relatives - friend of a friends... cousin's first boyfriend once removed... you can look at their pictures and see where they work and even re-kindle an old friendship.

I'm not interested in meeting people via facebook, I'm interested in keeping in touch. There is a difference. So, I'll see you at the bars, and in a few months, we may have entered a facebook friendship, but at least I didn't have to take a visit to the eye doctor after viewing your myspace page.

roderick / October 23, 2007 3:46 PM

No, no, no. If I want to talk, I'll come looking for you.

My coworker once said that there will be an elite society of people with no online footprint. Unfortunately, due to some early internet use snafus (and a photoblog that seldom gets updated), I do have an online footprint, albeit a relatively small one.

I'd love to be invisible online.

fluffy / October 23, 2007 5:31 PM

i have no interest. not social; don't network.
most of the time it's just people trying to make themselves appear interesting. no spontaneity, no originality, no humility. not my cup of wank.

Mikey / October 23, 2007 5:58 PM

At various times, I had a Friendster, MySpace, 43 Things and Zaadz account, but have canceled them all...

I decided I no longer wanted those photos, tidbits and factoids about me or my personal life (as innocuous as they may be) floating around for just anyone to pluck out of cyberspace...

It's bad enough that you can now be tracked down through your phone, that some companies are beginning to implant chips into their employees for "security" reasons, that certain arms of the government are monitoring the library books you check out, etc. Why make their jobs any easier?

Privacy is quickly becoming a luxury in this world.

Carlotta / October 23, 2007 7:35 PM

Huh, this is interesting. Articles about job hunting claim that MySpace, Facebook et al are the coming wave of how employers look at prospective candidates. To see everyone (in their late 20's & 30's) give a big collective ho-hum to these sites is enlightening.

(Of course, it's never explained how employers would avoid employment discrimination claims when they can see candidates' race, gender, etc. when using these services.)

Leelah / October 23, 2007 7:43 PM

I have a myspace primarily to keep in touch with former students (and for music stuff), but I only check it about once a week or so. I still have a friendster account, but I don't do anything with it. I've refused facebook, but tons of my former students (now in college) send me requests for it all the time.

Leah / October 23, 2007 9:29 PM

I blog on four sites. I use Facebook, MySpace, LinkedIn.

And I Twitter.

I'll tell you that I wanted to HATE Twitter. I went in dragging my feet and really wanting to just think it was pointless. (I work in social media at a PR firm, so I try almost everything. Yes, I have an Avatar on Second Life too.)

What I have found that I love about Twitter is that it enables serendipity and a new social circle. Through Twitter I've gained a new Chicago social group of tech-lite geeks. I've also had a lot of fun getting together on a whim with Twitterers.

Last month in the JetBlue Terminal of JFK, I saw a tweet from a friend that he was in the same terminal. So then I hopped onto Facebook mobile and found his number and called him over. He lives in Boston and I live in Chicago, because of Twitter we got to have a beer while we waited on our flights.

It's a great way to get quick feedback at the Apple store or trying to pick a restaurant in a new city.

Oh, if it matters, I'm 30.

P.S. I hate the phrase "enabling serendipity" but that is what it has done for me.

Jack Vinson / October 23, 2007 9:46 PM

There are tons of services along these lines. Anyone remember Google's Orkut? (One of the bigger SNS in Brazil, apparently.) And then there are blogs and livejournals and vox's... If you aren't into them, you aren't into them. Not that big a deal. Some people (me included) clearly like to try these things out and promote the stuff we find interesting.

And then there is Twitter & Jaiku and a couple others. Essentially, it is a "group instant messenging" platform, except that I get to decide who to follow -- you can't just IM me without my permission. And, as Leah says, it gives me insight into what is happening right now if I want it. (I can always turn it off.)

Casting a wide net, the fun thing with these services is that you can connect with colleagues, friends, acquaintances, old flames, whatever. Or not. It's up to you, right?

Mark Smithivas / October 23, 2007 10:17 PM

Andrew, the real answer behind your question is that there is too much VC money flowing into what amounts to Bubble 2.0 in the valley. That is why you're seeing all these socnets right now. Most will fail because of exactly what you're seeing in the above posts. There aren't enough interested "regular" folks beyond the early adopter crowd to carry most of these networks to the tipping point. The ones that do succeed do so because they are squarely aimed at the GenY crowd who have grown up embracing these very technologies without blinking an eye.

Brandy / October 23, 2007 10:30 PM

I never really fell in love with Friendster and I ha-ha-hate the visual overload of MySpace. blech.

Signed up for Facebook a few months ago. I dig it. Use it to spread news about my work - but not for the Zombie/Scrabble/Risk/etc aspect.

frankie66 / October 24, 2007 1:54 AM

I use myspace essentially as an email-alternative. all my friend are on there so its easy to be in touch. I also keep up with band promotion - shows, new recordings, etc.

kelly / October 24, 2007 9:31 AM

Twitter is a lot of fun.

I use Twitter along with another site called Moby Picture http://www.mobypicture.com (which is still very umm, beta). Moby posts phone pic links to your Twitter account. So it's great to be able to take phone pics of where you are at and what you're doing--send them to TWITTER via Moby and show your friends what's going on.

I send a lot of pics from rocks shows and baseball games and weird stuff like things I find on the street.

No, not everyone is interested in what I am doing, all the time. But it's a good way to waste time. And use my camera phone/texting package I pay for.

It's fun. And not hard to do, it takes about 5 seconds to set up.

kt / October 24, 2007 10:16 AM

I joined facebook during college. I don't understand any of the "fancy" new features it has, but i can say it has been a really good way to keep in touch with people. There are a lot of people who probably would have sadly faded out of my life, who at least with facebook I can keep tabs on. I have also reconnected with people I might not have found otherwise. Sure, you get the occasional friend request from that kid you vaguely remember from your high school biology class, but in general I really appreciate this medium to keep in touch and reconnect with people who matter. Just please don't poke me.

Spook / October 24, 2007 10:29 AM

Hey Leah!

You sound, like Totally
Kwool! Clearly you are a total, in, social media PR maven babe buzzword!
Which is why I now wanna twitter too so I can also have happening friends in air ports to twitter beer with in between flights.

p.s I think I'm gonna replace "Twitter" with "cool", like "that's sooo Twitter!" and "dude, she is like sooo Twitter!"

So when you hear it at the Rainbow, Danny's, etc, remember you heard it here first!

skafiend / October 24, 2007 10:32 AM

I think I've figured it out. Most of the people here say they used these services to keep in touch. But I grew up here, went to high school, here, eventually went to college here and live and work here. Everyone I know or care to know is here already. I guess if you're a U of Mich, or Indiana or Iowa or Whatever grad and move here to work it helps in keeping in touch. But I guess it doesn't work former. Everyone I want to keep in touch with i do, by either a phone call or seeing them on the street or going over to their place.

OK, now it makes a little more sense. but not enough for me to fiddle with it every day 0r so.

Josh / October 24, 2007 10:40 AM

I've never enjoyed any of these sites. I think it's weird to broadcast your personal life on the net, however common. My blog has little to do with me, because I like my privacy. I agree with Caffeine Free's comments that it all seems a bit narcissistic - here's my online shrine to myself!

I also thought Facebook was available only to people with a college or university e-mail address. At least that's what I read 3 or 4 years ago.

I should embrace all of these websites, though - as I'm always looking to meet new people.

P.S. Everybody is busy with themselves. Nobody is really reading any of that crap anyway.

paul / October 24, 2007 10:52 AM

They definitely appear to be on the upsurge. The acceptance that Myspace and Facebook are no longer for kiddies is quite an acheivement, especially since the interfaces still look specifically tailored for teenie-boppers.

Me, I was bored by this stuff before most of the 'early adopter's' parents even had computers.

Andrew / October 24, 2007 10:53 AM

Josh, Facebook opened to everyone earlier this year. (And apparently pets are allowed now too? That's just silly.) I joined, but beyond networking with people I already know, I don't see the use, really. My friends already know how/where to find me.

I got started using Twitter at SXSW this year. It was very useful there, in the way Dodgeball is useful: finding out where friends are among the copious evening activities.

I also use it as an RSS substitute for Outof5 -- when a new mix is posted, I ping Twitter. Works well for that.

staci / October 24, 2007 10:57 AM

I was anti all of those sites for a long time, but finally I had to join myspace because that is the main way to communicate with my younger sisters -- they don't do email and mainly use their phones for texting. I'm 30 and most of my friends are not on myspace, so I can't really use it to communicate with them. I blog on it about once or twice a week and use it to find out news about the bands I like. I was able to find an old roommate that I missed, so I like it for that. But I also would love to be invisible on line - no footprint at all.

bob / October 24, 2007 11:07 AM

if you're on these sites and you're past the age of 20, something is wrong with you.

fluffy / October 24, 2007 11:17 AM

although these sites are not for me, I don't ridicule others if they enjoy them.

Everyone has a right to do whatever they want.

However, people who focus SO much on what other people do and then put them down for it have WAY too much time on their hands. Get a life.

pantagrapher / October 24, 2007 11:47 AM

angie / October 24, 2007 12:09 PM

i never really got into myspace, friendster, etc, but i really like facebook. i'm 27, but i am in a master's program and most of the students use it to stay in touch.....I also find that it is much easier to find people you know, and I find it much more interesting and approachable than myspace. Maybe it's the layout. Anyhow, I'm a fan of the facebook.

alison / October 24, 2007 12:12 PM

"anyone want to start an open mike story night, contact me. Sick of poetry and all the other story readings Ive run across are for specific established writers only, not anyone who just wants to get up and read. Take those blogs off the screen and read them in front of real people!"

Skafiend, I would definitely be up for something like this--just facebook me!

Just kidding, I don't have facebook, but really let me know if you want to get something like this started. I would love to help out.

skafiend / October 24, 2007 12:23 PM

Alison, drop me an email at
manonthestreet1@yahoo.com

I tried to start something like this a while ago but it was too much for one person (or maybe too much for just me). But I'd done the poetry thing for a long time, got bored with it and wanted to get back into short stories, writing, etc. But most (if not all) of the reading series I see out there (the Hideout Dollar store thing, the Bookslut, Drinking and writing, the one at Sheffield's, etc.) are not open mike. Anyway, wanted to do something along the lines of a poetry open mike night but with stories, maybe even a story slam. I can give you the details of my master plan and I might even have a venue available. Drop me a line...

Spook / October 24, 2007 12:41 PM

For those totally against, please consider that
MySpace and I guess the rest of them could be used for some pretty cool counter culture and progressive political organizing and general rebellious activity. This is why I use it.

And politicans have discovered it, which is why most politicians have MySpace pages. For instance I have Dennis Kucinich and John Edwards in my “network”, cause that’s just how a Spook rolls

But most candidates have them, which is why MySpace has emerged in this presidential race.

I’m sure this wasn’t reported about in the Red Eye, but minor controversy arose because Rudy Giuliani’s daughter had Barack O’Bama on her MySpace page. When she was contacted by the media she said, she wasn’t endorsing him and removed him. I guess she wanted to support a harder line conservative than O’Bama.

I actually belong to a neighborhood MySpace group for neighborhood activities and politics. Progressive organizations, cool book stores like Myopic also has pages, so it’s just a great way to build community during these times when “community” continues to be demised by reality TV culture

p.s

Fluffy, but what about "Mini Todd"!?!

fluffy / October 24, 2007 3:15 PM

MiniTodd told me to tell you that you should stop calling him and asking for "Spookie Spank time", whatever that means...... something about getting spanked with a rolled up Red Eye.....

((who the f##k is mini todd?))

Spook / October 24, 2007 3:41 PM

Fluffy Are You Kidding ME!

You are the one who coined the term "Mini Todd", when he"Todd" wrote the haiku about his fellow
Pilsen nieghbors scratching and dinging his new mini Copper! You wrote two hilarious
Haiku about "Mini Todd"

If you don't belive a Spook, check for yourself

Andrew / October 24, 2007 4:11 PM

Wow, Spook, you latched onto an obscure one there.

stoopid / October 24, 2007 4:15 PM

Not to point out the semi-obvious, but isn't the point of these social netwanking sites kinda similar to say, I dunno, *here*?

I mean, really. What's the diff. For the amount of time spent idly peeping about here, I might as well be on facebook. At least I'd know how attractive everyone *really* is :)

But wait now, come to think of it, maybe this way is better.

armaghetto / October 24, 2007 4:34 PM

last.fm is probably the most useful social networking site of them all. excellent recommendations as well as a "neighbor" function that lets you take a look at what people with similar musical tastes are listening to.

kelly / October 24, 2007 4:40 PM

last.fm -- I love it, too.

It has a great concert/rock show calendar added by users that will automatically sync with your google calendar. It's a good way to track what band is playing when/where--and you can see what other users are going to the show (if you chose to show which bands you're going to see).

I love it when a plan comes together!

B/S Monitor / October 24, 2007 4:57 PM

Spook, you said, “But most candidates have them, which is why MySpace has emerged in this presidential race”.

Wow, Spook…they got you…hook, line and sinker.

I have a hard time imagining the candidates scurrying home after a debate so they can update their MySpace site. Are you that naïve?

Or, maybe, they have interns run the site. Maybe, Edwards MySpace is run by someone he has never met, and posts what his “party” and PR people want them to post.

I hope I didn’t burst any bubbles for you Spook…but there is no Santa Claus either. Was there a Santa Claus in your chocolate ice cream world out east? Or is Santa Claus, using your words, just a vanilla thing?

:-)

leah / October 24, 2007 5:48 PM

this leah used to really enjoy posting hilarious pics on friends' myspace pages.

now I find it too clunky & error ridden to forgive.

my new zealand friend insisted that grownups everywhere but the US use facebook.

I just can't belive they would have a intern of lower member of thier commnications team do it for them! Please say it aint so joe! Lordie lordie lordie
