I heard a few months ago that a guy used Twitter to save his life. He was kidnapped or something in a foreign country or something.

Anyways, I'm signed up!!!!

Thanks! [beer]

was a good little movie with a great soundtrack

Yeah, I played one to death. [Razz]

it was also real sad to see the Pan Pacific Auditorium burn down in 1983 - where some of "Xanadu" was shot at

That buildings facade was a treasure of late art deco/streamline moderne that was sadly lost to the world. I'm sure the photos don't do justice.

...at the location where this building was at,

a park was created using the same design that the building was known for.. below

Whoops, wrong year that the PP went down. It was 1989, not 1983.

I had to LOL at this. Did the guy post on his Twitter page: "I've been kidnapped in a foreign country! Help me!!!!!" And let me guess... his friends saved him by signing an online petition.

I'm on both FB and MS, but tend to keep Facebook for people I ACTUALLY know, and apparently people from High School. I ignore most of the crap "You've received a snowball, throw one back!" requests. I keep it mainly so I can keep an eye on what friends are doing and a better way to share photos for the time being.

And yes, my tech-trend-savvy friend says Twitter is the next place to be.

I had an account on both, but cancelled them cuz I thought they were stupit and didn't need to waste my time on them...I have better things to do.

I agree with Joe (The Amazing Criswell) Redifer!

People I stay in touch use email.

I wish Facebook would stop those stupid applications. No I don't want to be a "mobster" or "send a birthday cake". If I want to send a birthday cake, I will send an actual EDIBLE BIRTHDAY CAKE.

Facebook is absolutely stupid. Myspace isn't much better, but at least the thing isn't littered with those applications (which are as annoying as advertising popups). The problem with Myspace is that they let people design their own pages/hack it/whatever and then you can't find links because the pages are all shitted up. [Roll Eyes]

I got onto facebook after a High-School reunion. It seemed like a decent enough way for us to keep in touch...wereas most of us are not in the same industry (none are in mine, I think) and the Reunion companies seem to cost a buch of $$$$ for what seems to be rather little value.

I'm not really into the sending people stuff (or receiving them)....though I have engaged in some of the games like Bowling Buddies....mindless time.

The problem with sites like Classmates.com is that people register their names and never return, upon discovering that they have to pay in order to contact anyone.

Meanwhile, the site spams you with solicitations to join, so you're forced to blacklist them, and any future messages from legitimate members go straight into the trash!

So when you stumble upon the site, it looks great and shows all of these names... of people you can't contact.

Myspace is littered with those mobster and "giving presents" and "passing out drinks" programs too, I don't know which site started it first as I'm rather new to Facebook, but at least with Facebook, you can turn off the notifications, and the template is much neater than myspace.

How I got involved with Facebook is due to my wife's family being spread all over the country and love to keep in more direct contact with one another via more personal means than by email - in short than with direct phone communication.

Besides, it's just plain fun being on FB at times.

All 3 with a strong preference for twitter.
Short and to the point.

Facebook is alright, and I've for all intensive purposes abandoned MySpace, only checking in once a week or so.

Yeah, that's the real deal breaker with Classmates. Your membership has to be of paid, "gold" status in order for you to send anyone in your class some messages. I'm not sure, but I think the recipient of your message also has to be a paying customer as well.

I'm sure one could defend the pay system for Classmates as a means to cut down on phony accounts and other stuff like that. Unfortunately too many real people just register for free and don't bother returning.

Maybe I'll try out Facebook or Twitter to see if any of my high school classmates are there. Hardly any are on MySpace, and I've hardly been doing anything with MySpace lately anyway.
