I do have to wonder though...what exactly is the difference between posting whoring here for attention and post whoring THERE for attention?

Lord, where do I begin?

You're not as smart as I thought you were

Whenever you come down off your pedestal, maybe you can tell all about it.

Hey.. just cause I think its lame doesnt mean that you have to. You seem to like it and thats cool with me!

So heres an example of what I'm talking about. I just thought about a friend who lives in another state who I haven't caught up with in a while. So I did a search for him by email on myspace. There, I found his page, and theres all the info I would have asked him about if I had called him. The girl he's dating, pics of them hanging out, posts about where he was last weekend, and the weekend before, and where he'll be in the next few weeks. If I were some psycho crazy person, I could cause some major drama.

I just dont understand why you want to display all that. But if you're cool with it.. carry on.

[lisamariewillbe 1]

Thats the same info though that people on these threads can find out... weekend numbers, family pictures, home DZs, and if they are on the DD list , phone numbers. Its just the same info but displayed a bit differently

That is what myspace is to me these days. I've been able to get in touch with a lot of people that I have not heard of in forever. It's nice. I watch what I put on my page though. Nothing too personal. Those stupid 50 question things that people put up on their page about favorite this and that are just asking for trouble.

Yep.. you're right. Only difference is the size of the network. Myspace is about four million times bigger.

My major reason for mySpace is music. It never ends. All sorts of bands, signed, unsigned, popular, unknowns. Tons of new fresh music for me to peruse. And a few of my friends were those who I had no contact for. I would have never found them had I not stumbled across their profile.

I can understand being unsafe, but the world is full of idiots who would just find some other way to expose themselves anyway. People have been doing it for years. Hell, I bet I could find information about most anyone here if I were willing to fork over a little cash for a background check.

Yes .... thats why after my first bout of it I closed my account, now I am like sunshine, its hard to get to accepted. Over all its a great way to share things and easy to navigate as opposed to a website that people build from scratch... Im not able to do html's and all that weird stuff so myspace works great

Well, I DO have a pedastal.

But, I'm quite certain I wasn't on it when I made those comments.

I'm not "above" MySpace. I would have thought it'd be obvious to you of all people why I'd have no interest in being on it, or visiting my friend's sites.

I will not go further. To each their own. My opinion regarding it and things of that nature is by no means in the majority.

It's kind of like my thoughts on the plastic surgery thread--there's a REASON some people need MySpace.

Chaoskitty, I agree---what's the point of calling your friend, now? Oh wait, so you can ask him about all the thigns you saw on his MySpace

Does it really make me so bad, that I'd rather have voiced conversations, meet for dinner & drinks, and not whore my pictures all around the internet?

I love you lisamarie, but: Not so much

You will not find my weekend numbers, family pictures, home DZ or certainly my phone # anywhere here

But, I do hope to meet some of you in person and jump together, in person and have good times together in person.

This is the reason some people give that I least understand.

I would never loose touch with a good friend. It's impossible to, unless one or both dont' care enough to make the effort.

I never said good friends. And I am talking about some people I knew at least 10 years. In fact, never even thought about them. But it is nice to hear from them again.

I obviously haven't met anyone that I would consider a "good friend"... I've lost touch with a lot of people...

I'm gonna disagree with you here. Being a military brat I lost touch with a few people that I was friends with. Moving around will do that. You know what though, after more than 10 years of not speaking to or seeing someone i'd welcome them into my house and they would do the same for me. Such is the bond of military brats though.

Would your life have been so devoid had you been spending your time doing other things and talking to other people more recently related?

I understand what you're saying. Some of these e-mailed invites I receive are from people I have not seen or heard from in 6 or 7 years---yet mysteriously they were able to get my e-mail address from a friend of a friend. So, I kindly e-mail them and tell them I'm "not a MySpacer" but to feel free to e-mail or call me anytime. They usually do, which is great. But, funny how that works You see---to me--it's an illusion that they really want to know what I have been up to--but rather, it seems to me that what it really is, is them wanting YOU to know what THEY are now up to. I just don't have a need to be contacting people I haven't talked to in years and say "Hey, guess what? I've done this, that and oh, check me out."

Me, too. I've lost touch with TONS of people.

I'm not sad about that. I'm the worst at keeping in touch with people. I know who I really do not want to loose touch with, b/c I actually make an effort with those people.

I have had a best friend since Kindergarten. The best! I really, really cherish her and have no need for MySpace to keep our relationship going.

So by your way of thinking people shouldnt go to Highschool reunions?

Exactly. And I like my privacy. It may seem that I post a lot of stuff on dz.com, but it doesn't even scratch the surface. I BS with my friends on here and talk about girly stuff like wedding gifts and hair color.

And you keep your pedestal girl! When people actually say what they think, it challenges others to think as well.
Screw it, lets go get a cup of coffee and talk about how we're better than everyone else cause we're not on myspace! (totally kidding!)

[PLFXpert 0]

I don't see the coorelation.

I don't think I'll be bringing a list of my favorite this or that, a photo album of me doing a bunch of things and all the trips/cool things I've done and an I-pod for everyone to hear my favorite song to my high school reunion.

This is wearing me out. Lisamarie, I do NOT want to upset you. Now I'm sad

It doesnt look to me like you're being judgemental. Just different strokes for different folks. Nothing personal.

That sentence implies that it makes my life devoid. That has nothing to do with it. mySpace, like alcohol, is not to make my life better. Both are just fun to me. And believe me, no one in my life is telling me that mySpace is more important to me than them.

I just like seeing how people I knew in my past are doing. Do I have a strong desire to actually take interest? Not always. Sometimes I do. But, regardless, it is still interesting (because I like information) to see what they are doing, where they are, what they look like.

[lisamariewillbe 1]

Im not upset at all sweety, the correlation is that most people go to a reunion to catch up and see what the people have been up to the past 5, 10 etc years... well if we wanted to know what they had been up to, wouldnt we have just kept in touch?
