I don't use any of those services for socialising. I'd rather socialise with people in person. I find pubs and parties to be two good ways to meet people. I don't hang out with my long-time friends enough, anymore.

Easy: I always have Myspace and Facebook open, but I don't bother using any other ones.

Xanga!
Though Facebook is cool too...better without apps though. But thats another matter.
Don't use myspace all that often really anymore.

facebook.
I think its pretty easy to jump on the hate wagon and be 'above that' but facebook/myspace/whatever is really convenient.
It makes it easy to keep in touch with friends from back home or friends who went to different schools, even friends form my own school who live in different dorms or apartments. We've coordinated 2 pretty big trips out of sate to go skiing/snowboarding all just over facebook. cant see how that can be bad.
Its also good for wasting time

Pretty much agree there. I have a band profile on myspace, but me and my friend only really did it for a laugh. It served as a semi personal myspace page for a while, but only in the message section, no one left personal comments fortunately. I stopped using it for any social means a while ago, because I really don't like using it if I can avoid it. I only use it for searching for bands/artists I haven't heard and for listening to bands/artists suggested by friends and people here on Progarchives.
I have gone on Bebo, just to check out some poems my friend made, but I haven't got an account.

This is the only e-community I associate with at all. I honestly don't understand any of the appeal of myspace, facebook, et. al. I suppose I'm simply too old - I don't send any text messages either, crazy as it sounds, I use my cell phone as...a phone.

I guess Facebook is the best, but the apps get really, really annoying after a while. I've got a Myspsace, don't do much with that anymore. Also my Xanga is pretty much just for race reports so I don't use it as a social site, per say.

facebook is better for keeping in touch of friends,myspace is better if you wanna advertise youself i.e music,business or just a general whore.

Are any of these social nets socialist? If so, I might have to try it.

Released date are often when it it impacted you but recorded dates are when it really happened...
