| Quote (Moz @ Nov. 13 2007, 01:46) | MySpace and Facebook are totally different sites. The whole point of Facebook is to put your real name and photo up and show who you are. That doesn't mean there are no "fake" profiles but I'd say there are far fewer than on MySpace - especially as MySpace has fan pages.
I use my real name and photo on Facebook and I only add people who I know, either online or offline. Many people seem to "collect" friends on MySpace. I wouldn't do that on Facebook. |
I haven't quite got into Facebook, the thing that gets me with Facebook is I have to log in or create an account to view pages. I do find with profile sites I seem to be invited to join so many, I've accounts with Bebo, Frappr and MySpace, but the only one I seem to use regularly is MySpace. I can't remember my passwords to Bebo or Frappr, as my wonderful boyfriend   bought me a new computer, and if my passwords are stored anywhere it's on my old PC. I've also The Making Of Ommadawn film on my old PC and I'm wondering if there's a way of transferring it to my new PC.
I know with MySpace, and other sites impersonation of famous people is commonplace, I know Brian May, Roger Taylor and John Deacon from Queen, also Paul Stanley from Kiss had such problems.

Yes I do agree with Brian about impersonation on there, i think it needs to be made clear if it's an official page or not. I do agree with him about the risks to kids on these profile sites, and that sexual predators/paedophiles can lurk on there pretending to be someone they're not. That said I've many good friendships that started off online, I've found the Love of My Life online too. I think if it comes to kids /teenagers using the net and anyone meeting up with cyberfriends in real life , then obviously it makes sense to take a few precautions, let a friend know wheree you're going , and what time you expect to be back, and take a mobile phone with you should you get into difficulty.
I've two profiles on Myspace, but I mainly use my Poppy profile (set to private, so I'll need to add you as a friend to see it).
http://www.myspace.com/poppydanderfluff due to having problems from some sad pathetic woman who was jealous of a friendship on there, but I refuse to have some jealous bitch tell me who I can and can't talk to online. I don't know why some people have to be so sad, perhaps it's because they don't have a life of their own they have to interfere in someone elses.
Feel free to add me as a friend on Myspace if you so wish.
