Questions about MySpace and Facebook

[msagara]

I'm not entirely a luddite. But. Well. MySpace and Facebook? They make me feel bemused and almost entirely incompetent. But I know there are a bunch of people in my flist that probably don't feel either of these, and I thought I would, you know, badger you for helpful advice.

1.* How does it work? I recently created a MySpace account and then ... kind of clicked in circles because I couldn't really figure out how to do anything, or in fact even figure out what I was supposed to do. My oldest son and my friends mock me mercilessly in Facebook, and because I love them, I want to avoid having to kill them, so I haven't yet created an account there.

2. Have you found it helpful?

ETA: * as in rudimentary step-by-step instructions as if you were speaking to your 5 year old dog. Because I in theory understand that you are suppose to build a friends-list there, but cannot figure out how to do this.

I don't have a MySpace page because my kids won't help me set it up because they sneer at MySpace for its clunky ugly interface. I think Jay set up a MySpace page for me, but neither of us can figure out how to get back into it because I lost the password or something.

I have a Facebook page which I rarely get onto but I do have about 50 friends without trying much. Including all three of my children and several nieces and nephews. Of course, they're older than yours. . .also, they mock me to my face.
