Yeah, it's spread us out a bit more, but it's also more organized. That's a plus. The lounge is, and will remain, where we all congregate in randomness. It's our gathering place. |

Xanga's still really big around here.
I love the huge community thing, though. I've been offered subdomains before but I've turned them down because I didn't want to become restricted by the host's requirements or leave my Xanga friends behind. eProps are just more satisfying than comments, is all. |

QUOTE(DaTru KataLYST @ Feb 10 2006, 12:02 AM) I feel Xanga is starting to die out. For the techno-smarts they will run off to wordpress and such. As with the others they seem to move off to Facebook or MySpace. I have no idea about Tagworld...what is that? It shows on cB's adsense =P But facebook doesn't offer a blog... |

QUOTE(micron @ Feb 9 2006, 11:08 PM) hmm whats so great about myspace? i still dont have one and dont particularly understand whats the big craze about it. same with facebook. also, why does one need a myspace + facebook? dont they serve the same purpose. perhaps its because they target different people? i think if myspace was good enough, people wouldnt migrate to facebook once they hit college. the only reason people do today is because myspace.. well, needs a lot of work. maybe i cant start a social networking site. wooo hooo! haha. MySpace became great once I got into music. It was meant as a networking tool, and professional, it works like a charm. I've met more people at UTSA through Facebook than in face-to-face, chance encounters. |

I don't like meeting new people on Myspace. In fact, I don't really like Myspace anymore. I love my Facebook. As my friend said - "Keeps the trash out." I wouldn't quite word it that way, but it's true, for the most part. |

I'm quite fond of Facebook, when i use my friend's acct (im still in highschool..and hs Facebook isn't hot) it seems it's the best networking tool for college people. It really does seem to connect everyone. All your text and picture..pretty much anything you upload or type on Facebook is hyperlinked to other people and networks. I'm not fond of Myspace, so yea...but i think it's so big I'm gonna join it anyways now. |

i have an idea:
take the newspaper and instead of have the articles published in issues all together, have them published in "blogs". i think it'd be pretty interesting. i mean, the stuff in the newspaper was pretty good and would make excellent blog posts. |

look
cars, food, current events, humor, health in my opinion, those (just like forum member Rico) dont need to exist.. there are not enough posts in food and cars to flood the lounge. current events was doing fine in the lounge. humor should become a thread in games, or even a sub-forum called "spam", which would operate similar to forum games. health could just be deleted or make the posts go into boys or girls locker |

Oh jesus you're right Facebook doesn't offer blog....
Hmm I wonder why they don't put it in, it seems to fit into what they offer as a networker. |

What if our individual profiles were used as a networking tool similar to Facebook's?

I've noticed that not a lot of people post on there. Once EVERYTHING falls under a category, it takes away from other forums (like the lounge). |

I think Facebook is trying to avoid too many comparisons to myspace.

It all depends on the topic being searched, but I can see your point.

It might make the sense of community a bit stronger, if nothing else. |
