TulsaNow get's all "hip" on the internet.

[Admin]

We now have: Facebook, Myspace and Twitter.

We are planning some big site changes which will integrate those three, as well as our homepage and our forum into a great new design, later in 2009. For now, go ahead and connect to us on the social network, or networks of your choice.

Ok, I am a troglodyte when it comes to the myspace/Facebook thing.  Not that I need yet one more thing on the computer to waste my time on lol, but if I were to pick one to make a profile on, which one of those is the best to be on?

Facebook is my preference. Its a lot cleaner. And as a tech professional, design and functionality are important to me.

Hey! I'm not a.. oh yeah I am...

Actually I'm on all of the above. I like some features in facebook but sometimes I have trouble finding my way around.

Facebook. It's all about the "clean"-look.

People tend to make their MySpace pages way, way too "busy", with music and flashing pictures.

Thats interesting. I figured everyone would say Myspace. I had taken a glance at the different sites and liked Myspace precisely because of how you could make it look the way you wanted it to lol. The Facebook pages I saw looked drab and boring. If part of what a profile page is supposed to do is give people some idea of what your personality is like...the Myspace pages seem to do that much better. A blank white page with a lineup of other "friends" on it could  say your; not a creative person, boring, lazy, or dont care. You could actually explore the Myspace pages. I couldnt even figure out what the point was in even looking at the Facebook ones? Of the ones I saw, there was nothing there to give you much info to tell you who this person was or what they were about? Certainly no visual cues what so ever.

I understand Facebook has security issues, and supposedly asks for the password to an email account that it then uses to spam invites to people in your address book.
Anyone confirm or deny?

You can tell it to do a search on your contacts list through its database to see if anyone already has a Facebook account and it will add them to your friends list.

But what you are describing nothing like what I have had...

[edit]
I did find where you can invite contacts from your email account. let me illustrate the process:

• Enter email address.
• Enter password.
• Click "Find Your Friends" button.
• Use a system of checkmarks to indicate which friends you would like to invite.
• It then auto-populates their e-mail addresses into a "To" box on a form for which you enter a personal message.

I'm not sure that I would call this spam.

I too found Myspace too busy & cluttered. I joined Facebook a few weeks ago. Love it!
My first friend response to joining was "welcome to 2009"! ha!
