Two blogs in one day... NOW who's overtyping...

Okay, so this rant is about social networking sites. They're all the rage, obviously, and I've used a few of them myself over the years. I just thought I'd run through my own opinions on the ones I've been on, because hey, why not?
MYSPACE: This was the first site that I was on. It was good for finding friends, chatting, and I liked that I was able to customise my page. I made it very bright and colourful. Unfortunately there wasn't much else to do on it, so when I joined Facebook I realised that I really didn't need two chat sites with the same friends. I am thinking of going back to it, though, there's stil interesting things on it, like a lot of new musicians just starting out like to use Myspace to get started.
FACEBOOK: I like this one because it has a lot to do. There's games, quizzes, fan pages, etc etc. Unfortunately you can't yet customise pages, so they can look pretty boring. Plus the administrators have an annoying habit of reorganising the site every now and then, which stuffs up the site for a while, plus applications also enjoy stuffing up a lot.
TWITTER: This is my newest favourite site. I know at first it looks like just a chat site, which technically is, but it's fun to write random nonsense whenever you feel like it, and plus celebrities like to write random stuff every now and then too. Don't believe every page claiming to be a celebrity though, there are a lot of fakes around, but Twitter page valebrity sources out the real ones from the fakes, so they're an excellent page to follow. It's easy to use, and you can customise the background and theme colours, so it is a good site if you don't have that much time to waste on a larger site.
BEBO: Apparently I have an account on this, but I saw no reason to use it. It's another chat site, and yeah, it's become relatively popular, but it's not that interesting to me. Finding friends is annoying, and you have to be in the same school network or something to actually make friends with them. I think it's more for younger people, so I can't really be bothered with it.
Yeah, so that's it for me. There are actually a few other sites as well, I can't believe how many there are even though there's really no need for them, and I'm certainly not planning on trying them out any time soon.
