The MySpace VS Facebook Debate !!!

or you could just list down at least 5 sites and let QLers rate them...what do you think?

Gotta go...good night Ms.MP (sorry for the short cut...just damn too lazy tonight...):-)

ok - will open a new forum topic. maybe i'll ask the question which one do u think is best and why...

xmp

1. britishexpats.com

2. QL

3. friendster.com

4. zorpia.com

5. myspace.com

6. expatwoman.com (read only)

7. expatgossip.com (read only)

and the list go on ...

i have made alot of friends that i met through the expat websites. They are handy if you want to make new friends. :-)

So we could so it like a survey sort of forum...

Hi am turkish german is there any turkish community? Where do they meet ?

(There's an interesting question!)

1. QL (obviously...but I have to say i've been guilty of reading more than posting...very educational for media expats!)

2. YOUTUBE

3. Myspace

4. Facebook (yes i gave in...)

Wouldn't really call myself a cyber-community-obsessed person (i like real-life coffee dates too much ha!) but perhaps being part of 4-online communities does qualify part-geek status ...?

I like facebook way more than myspace. Myspace is just so unorganised and all over the place. But I have to agree with jassKat about the privacy thing, it used to be alot cooler when it was for college students and alumni only, not anyone. Now random people are joining just to hook up and it's really annoying, but still facebook is a great way to stay in touch with people thousands of miles away.

As for the hate list...what happened? what comment are u guys talking about it? and why did it get deleted? I was so happy to know so many people hated me!

I'm actually adding some photos from my mobile phone camera...will do now...

too many of them confuse me missmoneypenny. Hard to update all the sites.

if you open your friendster can you pls add me, id the same with QL. But pls make sure you tell me who you are since i received too many 'friendsheeeep massage' lmao.

gud nite everybody,have a nice dream .

Sorry I was late in joining you guys....I am now kinda having a life outside QL (joke only).

I know I have a myspace account and a facebook account but I don't remember the passwords anymore. i still receive requests from both sites but since I tagged them as spam, they automatically go to my bulk folders...

My daughter and I have our friendster accounts and we're active in that site. A lebanese friend of mine always shows me his facebook account and the pictures in it and tells me to do my facebook account...hmmmmmmm... I'll stick to Friendster and QL...

Honestly, I'm getting confused of all these sites...Hi5, Multiply, yahoo360, Tag, etc...

funeral for myspace VS facebook thread to be at...

unless anyone would like to resurrect it with some amazing revelations?

about the thread? What happened exactly? Who said what?

Victory attained by violence is tantamount to a defeat, for it is momentary. Mahatma Gandhi

It's not fair to hijack missmoneypenny's thread to discuss this issue. I will open another one.

"I fight with love and I laugh with rage, you have to live light enough to see the humor and long enough to see some change." Ani Difranco

that annoys me - i just wrote a little eloquent paragraph about

richard

gypsy

Darude

and

Greeker

I had just typed one word immediately after gypsy's comment and my preview was blocked

Gypsy how come he has the right or ability to delete threads or he ran to Qatari crying and got it deleted

Ya Richard, DohaGirl went with some other posters and started a site called Qatar blah blah. Which failed miserably, and is now the home to a bunch of angry angry people who constantly modify posts and chase away anyone who doesn't agree with them. I hear she doesn't post there anymore.

"I fight with love and I laugh with rage, you have to live light enough to see the humor and long enough to see some change." Ani Difranco

Which jibe? The thread was a joke, it was very obvious that it was. He didn't have to go in there and be all self righteous about it, he could have chosen to ignore it, but he didn't, he made the comment and the comment was responded to.

"I fight with love and I laugh with rage, you have to live light enough to see the humor and long enough to see some change." Ani Difranco

maybe it was just the thread generally, as richard said in a smiley way :D

Gypsy is a terrifying prospect. We had a poster on QL some time back called Doha Girl (don't know where she want) she didn't just get mad, she got even.

feels too great either, Gypsy. It was rather a sharp sounding jibe, whether jokey or not. It took me aback.

gotta love that old guy :D

This is starting to severely piss me off.

"I fight with love and I laugh with rage, you have to live light enough to see the humor and long enough to see some change." Ani Difranco

Gypsy QL thinks we must be dead serious all the time. You can delete the thread but you will never be able change us. I didn't offend anybody and it turn out to be hillarious.

friendly. Jauntie, I know what you mean, its terrible that these 16 year old girls are harrassing a 106 year old man. Just appalling.

What? Why? It was a joke. You listed all the names of your good friends. What the hell is wrong with QL?

"I fight with love and I laugh with rage, you have to live light enough to see the humor and long enough to see some change." Ani Difranco

Gypsy My Enemy Thread is Gone missing

isn't there a name for someone of 106 going onto teenage websites?

It escapes me for the moment - will PM you when I think of it :D

One more day of work, I have Thursday off and then I fly out Friday! I can't wait!!!!!

Hey Gypsy One more day to go to Temporary Heaven right? Na Na Ney

I didn't know that, richard. But Clapton's page is cool. Angus Young has one too.

I think there is some truth to the research. I get friendship requests on Myspace from 16 year old girls despite my profile saying I am 106.

I think that is because it started out for college students only. You could not even create an account unless you had a verified valid university email.

Apparently, and according to the latest "research", FaceBook is used by people of a higher social standing.

Myspace is for Hispanic teens, etc. Tell that to Eric Clapton. He's got an official MySpace page.

I have ab-so-lutely NO idea what you are all talking about!!!!

Where have I been all my life, I wonder. I suppose the sites are there for all you 'young stuff' to hook up, right? Whilst I've been too busy playing canasta and cribbage and gin rummy wiv da oldies in Yahoo lol

Oh and add me....your just too sarcastic for my liking sl...LOL

Gypsy and Corne. The first two names for your enemies list. LOL.

"I fight with love and I laugh with rage, you have to live light enough to see the humor and long enough to see some change." Ani Difranco

Shall I start a thread called my enemy list here. Give me two names to start with

Yeah enemies would be cool. I could add all my work colleagues...well 90% of them :p

They should make an enemies list on Facebook. I could ad all my ex boyfriends. :P

"I fight with love and I laugh with rage, you have to live light enough to see the humor and long enough to see some change." Ani Difranco

You sl, none!!!

I wonder how many enamies I have here.

Facebook is just one of those sites where people brag about how many friends they have...seriously....they compare and compete at work all the time :p

I love facebook. Could never be bothered with MySpace.

"I fight with love and I laugh with rage, you have to live light enough to see the humor and long enough to see some change." Ani Difranco

I think it's great. Have found so many friends I had lost touch with !

as an online social networking www.orkut.com is good choice as they made it too simple and from the same folks who run google.

I have both myspace and Facebook.

I like facebook better because it is easier to upload pictures, and I could find old friends easier then on myspace. I joined facebook when it first started, and I liked it a lot better before it changed. It used to be private, you had to have a university email to join. It wasn't so stalker like, and it was mainly just to know people at your university and in your courses. Now that it is open to anyone, it is more like a dating and hookup site with guys always sending messages to "chat and be friends."

I also don't like all the new applications facebook has, it feels like they are taking over. I do like being able to make groups for certain things, and being able to make them private.

Overall, I have to say that I like facebook better, although I wish it was still private.

I have no idea whatsoever what it is. But I had a request from an old friend to be on her page, it said click if you give permission, then it said enter a log in and password. I think I must have joined somehow because I have had about 50 requests from people now and when I say I am not in it they say "yes you are, I found you in a search". I am only in my early 30s but feel like a sad oldie, I really don't understand how it works...they didn't have facebook in my day...

sorry e46M3 I should have said is Myspace becoming the more attractive community....

Not literally taking over...oops! will try to avoid starting big rumours like that again ha!

What do you mean missmoneypenny taking over from MySpace? Do you mean acquiring it?
