Why does every one think facebook is going to make them look sophisticated? It's no better than myspace, and I refuse to join that either. If I want to be reunited with my school friends I will wait till I'm old and need new friends and I will join 'Friends Re-United'.

Bring back DJ Spoony!

I just joined and got incredibly bored in minutes. The same old scenario of 'we can't find your school, or primary school, work'. And I don't e-mail friends, so they're not in my address book. So all in all it's just naff.

I can never really find anyone or anything interesting on MySpace and it messes up and has internal server errors and kicks me off after about 5 minutes.

Facebook is essential at Uni. There's generally a view that if someone's not on Facebook, they don't exist. It's only useful if you're in a network though. If it wasn't for Facebook, I wouldn't know anyone's name, where they're from, what music they like or what they're up to at all. It's a lot easier to use than MySpace and the adverts are a lot less intrusive. It's a good way of keeping up with what school friends and Uni friends are up to. I used it when I was assigned a group to work with and I didn't know who any of them were, so that I could recognise them when we had group meetings.

If you're not at Uni though, I can see it may be a little bit pointless, particularly if you're not in a network, because you can't see people's pages.

They're all crap. Stick with the people who frown upon social networking sites, as they tend to be the ones who will take you out to nice places where you will see other people and dance, and drink and be merry.

But it's really quite difficult to stay in touch with those people. I get out plenty, so do most of the people I know, but when you meet someone, you Facebook them, and you don't even need to have got their number or anything old-fashioned like that.

Poking is a little strange on Facebook. Some guy I've never met pokes me sometimes. He goes to my Uni, but I don't know him.

Probably the best bit of Facebook is people leaving themselves logged on on other people's computers. The feed says things like "Tom Smith has removed "anal sex" from his activities".

      Lots of adverts for Matt and Mollie around the place, alongside the rest of the weekday lineup, but no mention of Dean and/or Vicky. Although I notice those two are doing the photobooth today, as is Danny Beard…

      Yesterday was excellent pretty much all day. You can tell a lot of work has gone into the festival and the set up was really good. The ground is fine for anyone worried, I wore old trainers and they’re still fine today.    Merchandise is available for some high prices. If you’re going for Longboi merch get it early as they sold out within the first couple of hours.    The photo booth is also good and we met Vick, Katie and Jamie for a few seconds and got a photo. If you’re doing this get there 15-20 minutes before the advertised time as they’re only 30 minute slots. It’s right next to the main stage so you can see everything going on there from the queue anyway. Most of the acts we saw were excellent. Becky Hill and Ella Henderson were brilliant live. Rudimental and Chase and Status were absolutely incredible. Nathan Dawe wasn’t great, played 3 of his own songs then dodgy remixes of Marvin Gaye, Dolly Parton etc. Went to Dimension halfway through which was must better. Saw 15-20 minutes of Eric Prydz which wasn’t really my thing but his staging was excellent.  The DJ sets in between everything were pretty good, especially Matt and Mollie and Charlie Hedges. Sam and Danni were a welcome change as they played indie anthems for a while although I think they may have just been the pre recorded anthems they usually play on weekends (still better than Nathan Dawe). Food was good, but pricey - £15 for my main meal of roast pork, stuffing, chips and Yorkshire pudding. I was surprised they were selling multipacks of Madri and bottles of wine, especially the latter as people were walking around swigging from glass bottles in the middle of the crowd then dumping them on the floor… the rubbish was a mess at the end of the night. Probably one of the best live music events I’ve ever been to, a real credit to the station.

      While there were some technical issues (tracks temporarily cutting out, mics not working at first for radio listeners, 'studio team' sometimes jumping in at quite random intervals) Party Anthems on stage seemed to work well and I sort of wonder why they haven't done it before. I guess it depends on when gates open but if gates open around 1/2pm then no excuse not to do it- it's a DJ set which they have loads of across the weekend and acts as a warm-up so the crowd are hot for the first main act.

      They mentioned on air that it's before Joel Corry's set.

      Studio usage for new schedule

      By Lily Georgia · Posted

      The two larger studios either side of the Live Lounge are 82A (aka 82Mills) and 82D.  The 4 smaller ones nearby are 82B, C, E & F.  The brand new ones are nearby on the 8th floor and are 82K, L, M & N.  All of the London-based R2 and 6M shows are coming from the 8th floor, some in the new studios and some in the original ones.  Obviously there are a lot of shows that come from elsewhere in the country such as Birmingham, Salford and Cardiff, but any in London come from the 8th floor.   In terms of R1 at the moment:   82A - Greg James, Danny Howard, Jeremiah Asiamah 82B - Early Breakfast Mon-Fri, Dan P Carter, Sarah Story, Charlie Tee 82D - RMC, Going Home, Future Artists, Future Pop, Rave Up, 13.00-16.00 Fri-Sun 82E - Official Chart, Chillest Show 82F - Dance Anthems, Kenny Allstar, Indie Show 82N - New Music Show Salford - Dean & Vicky, Danny Beard, Nat O'Leary, Life Hacks Cardiff - Sam & Danni

      Studio usage for new schedule

      By IamNotFromUK · Posted

      I’m intrigued to hear about the new studios. I know that in the past (when they did Access All Areas online tours) there was two big studios in the Live Lounge and four smaller ones. Do we know where the ‘new ones’ are? And how much of them? Are they on the same floor of NBH?   Am I thinking right? Arielle - one of the small ones (old) Greg - 82Mills RMC - 82B Dean&Vicky - Salford Drivetime - 82B (I guess?) Jack - the ‘new one’ Sian Eleri and nighttime shows - ?   Also, do we know if all Radio 2 and 6 shows have relocated to NBH? If so, are they all on Radio 1 floor, or are they scattered around the building?   Sorry, a lot of questions, but I have a gap in the studio area 😅

      Seen the 1st 2 tours live bit was busy this time around. Jordan has taken shots at r1 in previous ones when asked questions during the dilemma stages and I gather he didn't hold back with things this time either from people who went
