Myspace is for losers, apparently.

Fans of MySpace and Facebook are divided by much more than which music they like, suggests a study.

A long-term research project has revealed a sharp division along class lines among the American teenagers flocking to the social network sites.

The research suggests those using Facebook come from wealthier homes and are more likely to attend college.

By contrast, MySpace users tend to get a job after finishing high school rather than continue their education.

lol wasnt facebook a college website in its origins
gee i see how you would need a "long term" research paper to work this study out, probably just another uni bum not wanting to get a job so lets do a thesis on this topic

Pretty much what I was thinking.

"A social networking site whose admission was originally based on what college you go to is more likely to have kids who go to college, than one which allowed anyone from the start."

Duh.

I was more interested in that one-liner up top about Myspacers/Facebookers having different tastes in music, but that wasn't touched on again. Oh well.

seriously who ever wrote that needs to get dick slaped.





























twice!

Social networking sites are fucking shit full stop.

true.

but that does not change the fact that they're good entertainment.

I've actually sacked 2 people this year for doing bugger all except social networking.
Sure hope their network gets them another job... oh wait, no I don't

That's true. Surfing myspace for an hour and laughing at all the losers can be fun.

The biggest problem with myspace is that no matter how normal you are, it always makes you look like a complete and utter tool. Facebook isn't so bad in this way.

The stupidest thing about any social networking site is that if I actually wanted to speak to the 200 or so people most people amass as "friends", I'd pick up the phone and call them, not leave them a stupid message on some lame web page that other people I neither know, like or care about are going to read. Imagine making a phone call with fifty other people listening in.

I already tried to scope out how cool you are, with little success, Ms. private profile.

If you squeeze Narcy hard enough apparently she leaks tequila.

Myspace is more annoying. Facebook is becoming more annoying with the hundreds of retarded applications you can stick on. I get like 20 requests from people to put new applications on my Facebook every day or so. It's irritating as all hell. Jesus, if I want a fortune cookie, I'll order Chinese for lunch.

fucken aye. i especially like that last bit. never understood the attraction. maybe im too old, haha, and am used to keeping in touch/making friends the old-fashioned way, but fuck keeping in contact with some pissant who's only contribution to my life is a badly spelled bit of nonsense on myspace.

ive yet to see a myspace page that (aesthetically) didn't look like utter shit.

*cue fanboys and girls* oh, other than those that have already posted, ha.

that's a rediculous and bias conclusion - considering for the first, what 3 years of facebook, you had to have a .edu email address. so until its recent 'bout to become available to the public domain, it was all .edu emails (i.e. you had to be in college).


edit,


it appears as if everyone already mentioned that. LOL

Facebook just hasn't had the proper time to retardificate itself.

Fuck both.

I think people are getting to lazy to lead healthy social lives. So they rely on artificial online relationships and shows such as Laguna Fucking Beach to get their fill.

No wonder computers are going to conquer our pathetic carcasses and use us as energy sources.

not if we're too incompetent to build them to begin with! w00t

I hardly use MySpace these days. I'm not on Facebook and I'm not planning to join it anytime soon.

Real life/MSN relationships FTW.

i'm boycotting facebook. i never use myspace anymore either. just waiting for those ******s to start selling everybody's information to every fucking advertisement agency in the world. oh wait...

I love facebook because it keeps me connected with my family and friends around the world...I can see what they're up to and see pictures of them...it makes it much easier to keep in touch with them...better than calling them and saying "what's up?" every month....
