I'm surprised Scott's pages are still promoting the Bebo page - http://www.bebo.com/Profile.jsp?MemberId=5958382208 - the last post was November 2010!

[Harkinson]

Bebo still exists? :S

Don't think I've used my account in about 4 years..

[rosie_posii]

I used to love Bebo... then it crashed once Facebook came along.

Same fate as Myspace then... though Myspace keeps trying to reinvent, even if it's done badly.

Your site still promotes laura's dairy... i got fired from an agency job i did at the time over bebo. some mix up with someone with the same name as me, and my boss read a message which stated something disgusting, meant for someone else. Duh. social networking sites can be menace.

Some think that will also happen to Facebook eventually and it'll be replaced by something else.

Things always come and go, I wasn't a fan of MySpace and only had an account there for about 2 months before leaving it. Facebook will have it's day but I don't think it will lose out to Google+

[MrDoovdeHaxorz]

Google + has ONE USP that ALL the others don't: Hangouts. They are awesome and even work with decent quality signal when my connection is having an 'off moment' (most of the time), must be a much better compression algorithm than Skype uses as my Skype is always screwing up.

Sadly, they keep also adding in Facebook or Twitter clone features, like Trending and hashtags... they should Focus on Hangouts and the Circles concepts, that's the positives that the others don't have.

I can't even understand why people still FACEBOOK. I have never liked the layout, and it has always failed to engage me in any way, shape, or form. Plus, it is so SLOW compared with the quick interaction of Twitter. *

*justsaying

Actually, I wonder at what point people will actually lose interest in Twitter. I've already had a few people tell me they are bored with it !!

Yep, myspace was genuinely AWFUL. I had an account for not much longer than you, before leaving as well !! :hahaha:

Ive been on Twitter for 4 years now and I'm still hooked on it. Although I can soon see sites like Tumblr making a breakthrough as you can do more on it and basically turn it into whatever kind of site you want it to be.

[Viv]

I'm still properly hooked as well. Really, really like it !! :-)

[GoOnPigs]

Its properly addictive. But 9/10 the stuff I tweet is just random bollocks. Its a really good way of venting lol

[Viv]

It is a GREAT way of ranting. I was majorily off on one at the dentist this morning... Great to tweet and let it all out though !! Twitter saved me from having a breakdown this morning.

Plus, it is a good source of information for anything you quickly want to know about: i.e. news stories, or even help with the Internet, or mobiles... whatever. I find with facebook, you end up waiting days sometimes on an answer?!?

[Jono]

Your site still promotes laura's dairy...

'Cos we are here to promote the old content from the show for those who want to dig into the archives...?

[rosie_posii]

You start twitter going 'yeah, I'm not gonna get addicted'... but you so do.

[R94N]

I left Facebook because I got tried of the endless app requests crap and the like pages.

[DarkAngelMJH]

I like playing games on facebook. I like twitter also but usually only go on there when the footies on to tweet, otherwise will just read other peoples tweets.

[MrDoovdeHaxorz]

Facebook's latest trick is email.. well, sort of half an email service, more a deaddrop address that goes to same inbox as regular FB Messages. I will stick to Gmail and Hotmail ta.

[Ceio]

I think the reason Facebook has lasted so long is that it has changed and updated but still sticks to it's basic functions and purpose.

[MrDoovdeHaxorz]

Hmm many people I know barely use it and hate it because it's just become a mess of adverts and stupid little games. That's about as far away from the original purpose (something more akin to friends reunited) as you can get?

[Viv]

O ... Friends Reunited (hated that)... apparently facebook now have something called "School Feed" when searching for former classmates. Dunno how good that is.

[R94N]

I imagine many people only use Facebook because so many of their friends are on there. Google Plus is having trouble getting off the ground because people go there and find its dead because their friends aren't there.

[Viv]

I have never fancied my whole town reading about what I do. At a meeting I have to go to sometimes, a pair of women always comment on each others' activities locally, and it freaks me out.

I would rather communicate with people much further away on Twitter, and you can learn a lot more as well. I even manage to learn stuff via Doovde (which is amazing).

Dunno what this says about me. I mean, psychologically this must mean something, I guess **

** waits on Doovde smart remarks.

[Viv]

So... I was right... facebook is officially weird. Couple o guys beside me - one of them is checking an ex's facebook + all her photos to see what she is up to. Yup..... weird.
