Which ones do you have?

I have noticed you guys seem to like Myspace, dislike Facebook and are indifferent to Twitter in general.

Please vote on which ones you actually HAVE, not the ones that you use often. For example, if you have a Facebook account, but only log on to it once a month, still vote "Facebook".

I made a fake Myspace account years ago. I was an openly-terroristic 51 year old man from Afghanistan. I made my Facebook account in 2007, but didn't properly go on it until 2009.

I have never been on Twitter in my entire life.

Greetings ocdgirl123.

I believe that I possess an account for Twitter and Facebook. However I am very sorry as I believe that I use Twitter only to view posts from happy tennis players and also Peter Singer and Simon's Cat (Kitty)

I have Facebook and Myspace, although my Myspace profile is outdated. I used to have Twitter, but no longer. I could never find enough things to tweet about.

Sorry, I voted before reading your post, so I voted Facebook, because that's the only one I actually use. I have/had accounts on Myspace and Twitter though. I haven't really logged on to Twitter since I created the account. I just don't get it. And I was on Myspace for a while, but it just made me feel like more of a loser.

I have a Myspace page, which I set up in 2007, and a Facebook, which I set up in 2008. I don't have a Twitter account because I don't have enough interesting things going on in my life that I would need to update on my page on a regular basis.

I'm much more active on Facebook, even though I recently renovated my Myspace page, just for the sake of renovation. I want people to think my page is nice whenever they stumble upon it.

I first signed up to Myspace, and then Facebook. I use them for a personal website for my music performances, etc. I hardly ever go into them. I prefer Myspace to Facebook.

I have Facebook, but rarely use it.

I was a member of Bebo and MySpace some years back, but I developed quite the fixation with ensuring that the profile content and design was 'just so', and realised that I needed to delete those accounts after several months in which I'd stay up nearly all night, obsessively editing the same part of my profile.

WrongPlanet.

The only one on this list I ever used was MySpace but I quit using that a few months ago. I don't like the mainstream. A lot of people copying celebs, lots of corporations marketing cr@p & a huge amount of spammers/scammers. I like individuals who have minds on their own. The only social site I use is an underground culture one.

EDIT~

I just deleted my account on that site. I was having problems with a certain old-time member there who was trolling me & no one else. She was attacking half the post I made in replies to others. I was considering spamming the many stupid post she started & I don't want to sink that level so I decided I should bail. I didn't have any close friend there & I wasn't getting much out of it except for interesting random discussions. There's other things I can do online & I think I'm a lot better off NOT on any social sites rite now. I'll stick to forums for specific things instead like WP. I'm not a social person so maybe I should avoid social sites

Myspace is the epitome of a failed website.

I use Facebook for communication, and I use Twitter as a news source. A few years ago, I filed Myspace under must avoid because I heard that the kids I went to school with used it for less than kosher purposes.

I signed up for a Myspace account back when everyone else was on it, but did very little with it and haven't been on it since. I started on Facebook around 2006 and have been on it regularly ever since.

I also created a Twitter account a few years back, but never used it at all (though I got two followers without posting anything - probably spam accounts)

These websites are probably where a lot of the more recent 'child porn' comes from - stupid kids taking photographs of themselves half-nude, or in the toilet, or pouting, or kissing, or some other ostentatious crap. Then they wonder when that kind of stuff ends up in places they'd never intended.

My sentiments exactly. Also, a lot of them lie about their ages on Myspace, that is a recipe for disaster. Facebook seems to do a better job of policing their members and the content thereof. That, and the parents of those children seem to be paying attention to their children's activities on Facebook since a lot of those less than kosher activities made worldwide news.
