Opinions on Facebook

Can anybody give me their opinions on Facebook. I was thinking about setting up an account, but it won't let you check out profiles unless you sign up, unlike Myspace which lets you look around before you sign up. Is Facebook better than MySpace or the other way around?

Even if you de-activate your account it is always there... that is one thing with Facebook you can never EVER really get rid of the account... you de-activate and the minute you wanna go back you just log in and its up and running again.

I personally do not like it....but thats my opinion....

nfh...the only personal info you get plastered all over the internet is the info you provide. facebook can not find out anything about you that you don't tell it...there is no spyware in it that follows you around to other sites and sees what kind of person you are from other internet activity...the whole mess about personal information abuse was that it was going to be used as a statistics tool for marketing purposes

if you're uncomfortable with sharing some stuff then don't! facebook doesn't require any real information from you...the fact that you can open a fake account proves that facebook is not out there to get you and your personal information though, if it was that kinda site it would be much much harder to open a fake account.

I just signed on to facebook and like it, tho I am not on Myspace so can't compare them. I have made contacts from so many people from back home that I haven't seen in years. You don't have to put alot of personal information in your profile if you don't want the world to see it.

Thanks notfromhere, didn't even cross my mind to search for Facebook on QL. It would seem to me that if they were a good website you would get to check it out without signing up. Usually that procedure gets you into trouble. Thanks again for the tip!

MikaylasMom, search "Facebook" here on QL. there have been several discussions about it.

zayd..."good old paranoia"? Get real!

I don't think it's paranoia to have a concern about how much of your personal info is plastered all over the internet and how it's used.

And I don't think that when you deactivate your acct, that's the same as if you never signed up in the first place.

But MM they have to disclose that to you.

yeah definitely...some people are also a little worried over how their information will be used and stuff but that's all just good old paranoia. open one up, check it out, and if you don't like it then deactivate, it'll be as if you never signed up in the first place :)

So if I open up a Facebook account, if I don't like it, can I delete my profile? I am just wary of it since you can't check it out without signing up.

go ahead and open up a facebook...it's easy and it's free...i don't really see a reason not to. keep in mind though that it's starting to die off...within 18 months it's gonna be as popular as ICQ and something else will come in it's place.

well in my opinion, both are good.... facebook has got more popular over the months and even hit headlines.... my space was the same to back then.... it was just as popular just as cool....

but i stuck to the facebook profile since it has loads of games and information....and is still developin
