As for Facebook, I definitely left the Myspace bandwagon once it started getting too cluttered up. I'm on FB every day, mostly just to keep up/talk with friends. I don't do the games because that's just not my thing, and I kinda wish I could turn app. requests off because it gets tiring continously declining invitations to be someone's Farmville neighbor on FB.
It's like Schneed pointed out, you can do so many things on it. For me it's just about talking to friends and family, and seriously those of you that think it's a high school thing are just wrong. I've added both of my parents on there, in addition to all my cousins and aunts that I don't get to see very often. It's embarressing when I see my mom on there talking to my little bro and she writes Love You, /bro's name/ at the end of every message like it's an email but hey, that's life.
And it definitely makes me hesitant to post certain things on there. One time I saw my little bro post that cheerleader routine song from Not Another Teen Movie, the one where they're like, we're black, we know it, we shake our big booties and show it, and my mom posted a comment asking him why he was acting black
, and it was then I realized there's just some things I can't put on there anymore. I try to avoid the partying/goodtimes pics so my fam doesn't see them, but also because I don't want potential employers seeing them and thinking I'm some sort of young jackass. It helps that I quit drinking, but I still go to parties and I don't need everybody knowing that on FB anyways.
FB's customization is great too. If you want to keep your profile private, or even just certain parts of your profile private, you can customize everything. You can hide people from your status updates, which is very important, because I'm constantly adding people/etc. and then when they clutter up my feed with constant updates, aka goodnight, good morning, I'm eating breakfast, I'm going to school, I'm in school, college is boring, I'm stressing over a paper that's due, oh no I ran out of cereal, just got back from the store (I bought more cereal!), etc., well that's just generally annoying.
That's part of the reason I don't really do Twitter. I have a Twitter account, and I've added people's feeds on there, but the only people I add on there are celebrities that are cool/not stuck up, athletes, and news guys like Shefter. I still don't check it everyday, and I wouldn't add any of my friends on there, because I can just go to FB if I need to talk to them.
