Facebook - Good.
Myspace - Useless
Twitter - Marginally useful

If I'm the sort of person you'd want to talk to, you can add me - just make sure that I know you're from WP and I'll accept.

i have a facebook, but it's still somewhat new and confusing to me.
not as option-friendly as myspace, but interesting in it's own way.

alrighty, i'll keep that in mind.

The main thing that facebook lacks is the ability to customize the page (ie: colours and pictures).
You can have any colour so long as it's blue.

However...

In terms of options... facebook is much better.
There are hundreds of add-ins but it's not obvious at first.

If you're a new user you'll probably sit with a mostly blank page for a while until it "clicks" for you one day. That's how it worked for me anyhow.

Facebook - Use all the time

Myspace - I actually prefer this to FB but no one uses it anymore.

Twitter - No

I like MySpace, but hardly anyone is ever on it anymore. I like that you can customize your layout and everything on MySpace, even though most people who do that make their pages look just horrible because they can't be bothered to take a couple hours and learn the basics of web design.

I tolerate FaceBook, since that's what people use now a days, and some people I want to talk to only have a FaceBook account or don't use their MySpace anymore. The navigation on that site is still confusing even though I've been on there for two years. The mobile version that I can see from my iPod Touch is much better than the PC site.

I refuse to use twitter. It just seems like a pointless waste of time. I don't see why anyone would care what I'm doing at every minute of every day. People who actually use twitter are arrogant ****s. I do use the status updates on MySpace and FaceBook on a rare occasion, which is basically the same thing, except I'm not forcing anyone to read those on their phones. I already have a few actual blogs anyway where I can post more than 140 characters at a time.

Facebook to me was an onslaught of quizzes, such as the ever popular "If you were a tropical disease, what tropical disease would you be"

Myspace, I use but only for music because it's used by so many great underground netlabels :)

Twitter I've never used but it sounds like something you would call an erratic old man you sit next to on a bus

That wasn't very helpful I admit :)
