    Facebook, didn't it used to be for just college ?

    Didn't you have to go to college for Facebook?

    Yup. You had to have a valid college email address to have an account. They changed that in 2006.

          I'm glad they opened it up to HS students, though. It showed me how bad MySpace actually was.

            I use it now and again to touch base with long distance friends. Other than that I just call and text people that live in the area.

            There is so much crap on facebook. I gotta love the section on the right hand side that appears now and again. "People You May Know" I click on it and I wouldn't know any of them if I fell over them.

              I have a facebook page, strictly for family members and friends though. Not the "Hey I saw your profile, thought I'd say hi, and thanks for the add" friends, but the "Hey remember when we were in the baby pool with the Williams sisters and they let us..." friends.

              I am glad it was opened to everyone. It's a lot cleaner than Myspace.

                I am also glad. It helps me keep in touch with former co-workers and other people in my business that I don't see regularly.

                  I got a facebook page several months ago and am glad they opened it up to everyone. I have been in touch with several people from college who I thought I'd never hear from again. Can't comment on myspace as I don't have a myspace page and really have never been to the site.

                    myspace sucks, it was about putting as much clutter and pictures and music on a page to make it as difficult as possible to see anything

                          I like Facebook a lot more than Myspace. Like DK said, MySpace is way too clutter with pictures, videos, and all the other graphical crap. Facebook is a lot cleaner and easy to read...or creep in Stewaat's case lol.

                            My thoughts exactly.
                            "It may well be that we spectators, who are not divinely gifted as athletes, are the only ones able to truly see, articulate and animate the experience of the gift we are denied. And that those who receive and act out the gift of athletic genius must, perforce, be blind and dumb about it -- and not because blindness and dumbness are the price of the gift, but because they are its essence." - David Foster Wallace

                            "You'll not find more penny-wise/pound-foolish behavior than in Major League Baseball." - Rob Neyer

                              Now there are stupid bumper sticker things and zombie invitations and such on Facebook, and they changed the format as well.
