I always feel like a bit of a 15 year old admitting I have a MySpace... but here it is anyway

http://www.myspace.com/kaylafowler

nothing very interesting I'm afraid, but I wanted to join in all the fun

gave it all up for facebook.. it's like myspace but for grownups.. 

Does Facebook have as many options etc.?  Like designing your own page/blogging, etc.?
Just getting into it now.

to me, one of the best things about facebook is that design-wise, all the profiles look the same.  People can come up with some really ugly stuff on myspace, so I like that facebook offers guaranteed tasteful, well-designed profiles.

They do offer blogging in a fashion through their "notes" feature- you can even redirect an existing blog so that it shows up on facebook automatically when you update, which is super useful.

Oh, so you've seen mine then? 

Thanks Andrea.
Ugly or not, I like to have fun playing with different layouts etc. and figure out what I like... that suits my personality.
But it sounds like Facebook has a more 'streamlined' approach, which is good too.

Really? I've never checked it out. the first time I heard about face book I was working a gig for a Fraternity/sorority "talent" show. They mentioned face book in one of theri skits so I thought it was all about young college kids. I'm on myspace because it's huge and I use it as a marketing tool for my band.

It was originally a social network for college/university students only. A couple years ago they added high school students to it. I think it was only in the past year that they've opened it up to everyone...probably to compete with Myspace.

ok I have had to get a new myspace. The kids i teach found my page, even though it was set to private i was sick of all the requests for me to add them, i have now set up a seperate page for my students,which they are happy with lol. Manly for my form and the kids who have left .

My new personal page is www.myspace.com/mullenswife

so if anyone wants to re add me , feel free

My daughter thinks it's embarrassing that I have a Myspace page but the younger students in my class talked me into it and now it's a way we keep in touch the most.  I love searching the site for new music artists around the world and have found some good ones I never would have heard before.

I have myspace mostly too keep in touch with family at home. My aunts, uncles, cousins, sisters and friends from home are all on it.

Heres my page:

http://www.myspace.com/21004437

Its private though so you'll have to add me as a friend to view it..  just send me a msg letting me know who you are and I'll add you 

ok i have just been through this whole thread and added a few people so if you get a strange request it is probably from me. If anyone wants to add me, myspace is www.myspace.com/mullenswife

The computer is keeping me sane this weekend.

Anyone on it?  How do you like it??
