My face space

One of the things about the internet I love is there are always new sites, information and new cool marketing/networking sites popping up. One of the things I hate about the internet is that there are always new sites, information and new cool marketing/networking sites popping up.
How does one keep up?
After over 2 years of working on contacts on Myspace a new site was offered to me. People kept wanting me to join this new place to network with pals. Some of them were already from Myspace so why the switch? Why re-invent the wheel?
Enter Facebook. It is like Myspace but it is not like Myspace. So with reluctance I signed up for an account, typed up a profile and added some pics. Since it was laid out differently then Myspace I was not sure what to do with it for some time. I did notice that I started getting more hits, emails and notices on Facebook then I ever did on Myspace and from people I actually know!! Is Myspace dead? Not quite. It has a lot of the cheesy bullshit stuff to get rid of plus it is plagued by fake spam accounts....but Tom assures me they are looking into it. I still use it.

Facebook on the other hand seems, for the most part, to be full of genuine folks. It is getting a bit ridiculous with some of the new applications one can add...many just a rehash of some other gimmick. (Note: Anyone using the vampire, zombie or werewolf application really, really, really needs to get a life. Who the fuck cares about how many fake cyber bites you collect from others with too much time in their day). Sure Facebook it is starting to get its share of weirdos but for the most part...it works for getting the word out about shows, events or just updates. If you have me added on Myspace, don't worry, I still keep things posted on there but, I am on Facebook too so I guess you should add me before some new site comes along and me (along with my contacts) start telling people to come to the new (insert catchy name here) networking site that is sure to try and topple these first two sites. So...add me!!
