MySpace and FaceBook

I've had a number of invitations to join Facebook but haven't been tempted so far, though I did check it out when it first appeared. Also, I'm not keen to be easily findable - I'm easy enough to find for people who want to, without encouraging too many contacts :).

There were articles when Facebook first appeared asserting that it was classist, being an educated network, as opposed to the more Plebian MySpace. Without addressing that argument, I've always been put off MySpace by its visual "noisiness." A couple of my (older) children have MySpace sites (telling me stuff I don't really want to know), as do some of my favourite bands, but I don't feel compelled to set up there.

I have placed comments on some Blogs, so please gimme a star for that as well!
