msagaraI'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.

Date: 2008-04-22 02:43 pm (UTC)myspace is better for meeting/connecting with people. (although i agree with the above commenters that myspace's evil quotient is much higher -- malware, irritating teenyboppers and middle-aged men posing as irritating teenyboppers...)
technically, facebook will be easier for you to use. (it's more of a fill-in-the-blank editing process).
myspace will require some help probably.
take the mocking as a sign of love. :) my mother is on facebook now, and while my brother and I give her hell, it's just kinda fun that she's putting herself out there...
