If not for games on FB I don't know that we'd be talking about how Myspace got beat.

Responses:

i don't play the games anymore (i only ever scrabbled) but Facebook was just cleaner and nicer looking to me. i never really 'got' myspace. -- nm - Andie May 15, 07:48 3
- MySpace was always futt bugly. That made it unapproachable. - Beryllium May 15, 07:50 2
  - To you... - Mel Profit May 15, 07:53 1
    - Yes, MySpace was full of self-involved teens with a fast and loose grasp of style and aesthetic. -- nm - Beryllium May 15, 08:00
I'm so in love with Tumblr right now, I want to kick FB to the curb -- nm - Epiphany May 15, 07:45 13
- This is again where I feel old. My daughter loves Tumblr and I don't even really get what it is. -- nm - pmb May 15, 07:47 12
  - one of the greatest things is the format - the new stuff is on the top - ALWAYS, I don't have to reset it. I don't have to worry that it's being filte - Epiphany May 15, 08:11 4
    - I've learned to accept that FB is only going to show me what it thinks I should see. - Mel Profit May 15, 08:13 3
      - yes that infuriates me - I missed that my 1st boyfriend had a stroke - I was pissed. unforgiveable in my book -- nm - Epiphany May 15, 08:22 2
        
        I could see this being a big issue. - Mel Profit May 15, 08:26 1
        
        I totally agree - it takes a smarter/younger person than me to figure out the in/outs to make FB run like I want it to -- nm - Epiphany May 15, 08:48
  - It always struck me as just a blog platform -- nm - oblique May 15, 07:49 5
    - The emphasis on media and reblogging takes it up a notch from the traditional blog -- nm - Beryllium May 15, 07:52 4
      - "Reblogging." Is that like retweeting? -- nm - con_carne May 15, 07:53 3
        
        Yes. -- nm - Beryllium May 15, 08:01 2
        
        but somehow less obnoxious. If they have ads, I haven't noticed any -- nm - Epiphany May 15, 08:12 1
        
        What I like is their implementation of the "MT" concept (modified tweet) - Beryllium May 15, 08:15
  - It's like a more social version of blogger/blogspot/wordpress -- nm - Beryllium May 15, 07:48
