what do you use social networking sites for? email this discussion to a friend?

If you are on Facebook or Myspace or any of the other sites out there what do you use it for?
Do you chat or email and keep up with friends? Or do you just do the forums or maybe play games on their apps?
I don't seem to really hear from that many people on the sites I belong to and I keep hearing how they are such great places to keep in touch.
They are on my friends lists but I don't know why. Some will respond to me but it seems the majority of them don't.
So what do you use these sites for?

I use Myspace to promote my work stuff, and I use Facebook for that, too - in addition to keep in touch with friends. The people on my friends list on Facebook keep in touch with me FAR more in comparison to Myspace, but I think it's because it's so easy to comment on status updates.


myLot reputation of 97/100. Ruthep (5928)   ranked 130 out of 15,062 in internet  11 months ago

Never thought about it being easier to comment on status before.
True but never thought about it.

Well, I have never ever been on Myspace. I used hi5 for 6 months, Facebook for like couple of years and now I am on Orkut. And anyways Mylot has given value to the words that we type so I would rather be typing here that typing scraps on Orkut.


myLot reputation of 97/100. Ruthep (5928)   ranked 130 out of 15,062 in internet  11 months ago

I have never been on Orkut or hi5.
I do seem to spend more time on mylot than any of them.

I use myspace for promotions because it seems like it is mostly kids that interact on the site. I use facebook to keep up with my friends from high school, ect....

I use facebook because it's easy to keep up with what's going on in my friends lives now that i've moved away. i'm not mu.ch of an emailer so it seems more acceptable to write a little blurb from time to time on someone's wall then send what might seem a half-hearted email


myLot reputation of 97/100. Ruthep (5928)   ranked 130 out of 15,062 in internet  11 months ago

Yeah it seems like most of the people I know are much for emails either. But they aren't much for comments either.

i'm on facebook to to make new friends.

some poeple use it as a dating site.

but i think it's mostly used to keep intouch, and to connect

people around the world.


myLot reputation of 97/100. Ruthep (5928)   ranked 130 out of 15,062 in internet  11 months ago

A dating site? I did not know that.
It is a good way to connect with people, you are right about that.

Social networking sites nowadays are a great way to keep contact with your friends. Although there is a strong opinion is that it makes you lazy to meet them but I personally feel that it is good for them who are not near to meet. With globalisation people have spread across the world. So it is not possible every time to get in touch with them personally and made them physically for social networking websites and other such websites are a definite boon to us. We can login and have a good discussion with them over the Internet without much of a farce. So I personally feel that these Tiber websites are definitely a great way for communication. Every technology and every development has a good point and the back point about it and it is our own responsibility to use it in the positive manner.

It is good when you are too far away to get together.

I started with Myspace just because iI kept hearing about on the news and stuff and was curious. I'm glad I got into it though, because I learned a lot about html. I found a lot of friends from high school and college and many of them I stay in pretty close contact with via Myspace. Plus I'm lame and love the surveys. You just learn so much about people though them! There are plenty of people that once I found out about where they were living and what they were doing my curiosity was satisfied and I don't talk to them much anymore. I got super addicted to the apps for a while and there are still a few I play daily. In the 3 or so years I've been a member there have been very few days I haven't logged in.


myLot reputation of 97/100. Ruthep (5928)   ranked 130 out of 15,062 in internet  11 months ago

I love the movie surveys.
And those little bulletin surveys are fun too. We can be in the lame club together. lol
I was wondering how much was a curiosity thing.
I seem to be encountering a lot of people that just want to find out how things turned out with everybody and that is all.
Thanks.

I'm both on Facebook and MySpace but rarely go to them...to be honest I just don't have the time to hang out at social networking places...don't ask how many people have "pinged" me or left some kind of "thing a ma jig" on my Facebook page...tend to ignore them..LOL. Facebook WAS instrumental though in helping me reconnect with a friend I hadn't heard from in about eleven years though..without that I would never have found him


myLot reputation of 97/100. Ruthep (5928)   ranked 130 out of 15,062 in internet  11 months ago

Well, I know you are on myspace.
I am glad you were able to find an old friend on Facebook.

I have a facebook and myspace. I use them to keep in touch with friends and family. I also like to play the apps i have several people on my friends list i don't accaully know but they are on my apps. I have even used meet new people around where i live. I use my space as a internet storage for my photos. I use to invite people to parties and family gatherings. I also use them to keep my mother up todate on her grand-daughter with videos.


myLot reputation of 97/100. Ruthep (5928)   ranked 130 out of 15,062 in internet  11 months ago

My parents don't have a computer.
Sometimes it would be handy if they did.
We offered them our old one to get online but Mom didn't want it.
The invite thing is a good idea.

Wow, you have pretty much covered them all.
Good that you are really enjoying yourself.
I have never really gone through many forums. I guess I should.
