Do you have a facebook page or myspace or do you tweet?
I used to be apart of all that i technally still have all the accounts still but i found it to be boring. I mean why would i want a complete stranger following me on Twitter? I could see where it would be cool if you are famous but I'm not. Besides the only people I want to speak to is my family and since that is the case I pick up the phone and call them.
But these social networking sites are they worth your time? I mean somepeople cant live without explaining what they are doing every single minute of everyday. Or what they do is sign on everyday and say a random sentence and thats it. And when you do send them some form of hi. they block you even though they know you. I just dont get it.
But do you? DO you use twitter? Are you a myspace or facebook user?

I used to have accounts in all these different social networking sites but I never open them anymore. It's very time consuming to constantly update and upload pictures over and over again to different sites. The only one that I maintain now is facebook.

i was told facebook is monitored by the CIA and homeland security due to the 9/11 terroristic activies. So i don't use it anymore. not that I am a felon or anything like that, i just dont like the fact that the government is dittling in social networking sites like facebook

well i do have a facebook and also a twitter account, but i dont feel the same way as you do, well i love to hang out with friends that i found on facebook. its nice to be known by people all over the world..but i do make sure that i dont share too many information abt my personal life on my facebook or twitter profile as it could be dangerous. but to me its a place wher to find new and good friends. also the applications that these sites are way too good.and its a great way to pass out one's time

No, I don't use Facebook, Myspace or Twitter. I don't really get why people are so addicted to them. I guess they could ask the same question to me when I am on Mylot posting stuff. lol. My friends are really addicted to it and like to post a lot of stuff on the site. I guess its just a nice way to pass the nice like a hobby.

I have all of them.
Honestly i have met a lot of wonderful persons in those sites, some have been my
friends for years now.
My space is getting boring with all the spams getting into the pages.
Twitter is very helpful if ur aiming for networking.
Facebook..ahhh facebook,i love facebook.I love the games they have there and i get to
interact with my friends and relatives at the same time while playing their games.
Tag is a lighter page, in terms of comments..but u have to be careful with the invites you are getting coz there are more offensive people there.You have to be very cautious there but once u get the nice ones, tagging will be fun that u dont need hundreds of faces in your list.

I have accounts at all three of the sites you mentioned. The only one I currently use (more than a few times a month) is Twitter. I use it to tell people about my writing. I hardly ever use it for anything personal, like to tell people what I'm eating or where I'm going. lol Maybe if I had more friends, people I like a lot, but can't see daily, maybe then I would get a second twitter and set it to "private." That way I can be sure only the people I've given permission to can view my tweets.

I have a facebook profile, and I mostly just do it for fun. it's nice to see what other people are up to, but I don't really spend a lot of time worrying about it. There are a couple of games that I like to play.

I had accounts on all three,but I deleted myspace and I never go on twitter.Face Book is my favorite and I'm always on thyere.I love to play the games on Face Book.Myspace I found to be boring,they have no good apps and all my friends are on Face Book,so I deleted that account.I still have a Twitter account,but I hate that site out of all.I haven't been on it since last April.That's a good question,why would a complete stranger want to follow you on Twitter?I thought that for myself.

I have a myspace but I only use it about once a week...i am kind of bored with it but i only use it to keep in touch with my friends...unlike a lot of people i don't have a gazillion people on my list...i have about 30 people that i actually know lol...
i've tried facebook but i just didn't like it...i find it to be really annoying...
i have twitter but never use it...but eventually i'd like to start a blog so i guess it might come in handy for posting updates...but other than that, i don't see much purpose in it either

I prefer to use only one account for Social networking sites because after registered in more than one social networking sites you are not able to login on daily basis to connect with friends online

I have facebook and myspace. I do not use my myspace account often. I might use it two times a year. My facebook account I might use once a month, just to see how my college friends are and what they are up to. I did not get involved in twitter. As a matter of fact, I am not even sure what all twitter does. It is fairly boring for me to stare at my computer screen while I feel like I am stocking other people, that I know. I find out more about some people through facebook than I find out when I talk to them face to face. I do not understand why some people are more comfortable posting on facebook lucrative things than they are sharing it in person. I mean people are going to find out, why not just verbally tell them.

I have facebook, myspace and twitter account. It's because I want to promote my music and other stuff and try to keep in touch with my friends. But I agree with you that there are problems with them - boring sometimes, most of the users have no idea what are they doing there . . .

I'm not a tweeter. Tweeting is only good if you're significant or have reason to give notable updates on something. Otherwise, why follow you? Facebook on the other hand I'm a fan of and use consistently. It is a solid networking site that allows people to connect with each other. I find it a great way to keep in touch!

I never really became a fan of myspace and I have never even logged on to twitter, so I couldn't even comment on that site. But, I am an active user of Facebook, and I am a fan of the site.
Through Facebook, I have reconnected with somr friends that I had lost touch with for years. We get together regularly now and keep in touch using that site. It's not so much about know what people are doing every second, but just hearing from them and what's going on.

I was on so many chats before, each time I saw an icon in the task section below someone wanting to chat with me my excitement saw no limits. But now I keep the sign busy on my messengers and I have only one now. I have registered with facebook, twitter, etc more because of others but I hardly go there. I prefer sending emails directly to friends and family with attachments of videos, photos, etc. I also have a blog and unless I force someone to read thru it I dont think any one is interested at all
There is so much to do already that one hardly finds time to see what others are up to. I too dont read blogs that belong to others. Where do we go from here?

making friends on net or social networking is really fun indeed. making new friends around the globe exchanging hi and hellos is quite warm to think about. exchanging talks about cultures and belief. but i guess it is really much better if you got friends whose with you and you can have them sit next to you when you need someone to lend on and a shoulder to cry on. its a bit different feeling than talking on the monitor and just see them.

I just have a facebook and a hi5 which I don't use anymore. But at the same time I cannot delete them since they have lists of friends from my middle school who are not from the area I live in. In short, you can say I have an emotional attachment to them. But I see that some of my friends are on facebook almost all day. You know the newsfeed tells what they are doing there. It seems they spend hours on taking quizzes and updating status. I still don't get twitter. I don't even know what purpose it serves. I am just tired of all the social networking site. I suppose it is just a psychology I have now since I am a grownup.
