Which social networking site would you say has a more mature and interesting user community, MySpace or Facebook or others.
Social networking sites?
I prefer Facebook over anything, I feel that it's more geared to the more mature (although some of those applications are annoying). It has that nice, clean look to it.
Of course you can find mature and immature discussions and people on both sites, but I have had more encounters with the immature on myspace more than anything else.
Reply:MySpace.
Definately.
But only if you find the right people.
Reply:Myspace all the kiddies have moved to the "newest" thang

Social Networking websites asking for email password when signning up, safe?
Hello, I received email from these social networking websites telling me my friends have invited me to join the 'community' (a quick check with my friends confirmed the invitation by them.). My problem is, during the sign up process, it asks for my email's *REAL* password. Is it safe? If it is, WHY DO THEY DO THIS?
Websites that I have encountered such sign up dilemma: Tagged, Flixster.
Social Networking websites asking for email password when signning up, safe?
Are you sure it wants your email password, not just a password for that social networking account that you're making?
I agree: Why would a social networking website want your email password? Honestly though, you're better off with either Myspace or Facebook for that matter or if you really need to register for that site, then make a dummy email account.
Good luck and be safe.
Reply:I would use a web based, "Throwaway" email address such as can be had at yahoo, excite, google and hundreds of other places.

The government has some suggestions about how to help protect children while spending time on social networking sites:
- Help your kids understand what information should be private.
- Use privacy settings to restrict who can access and post on your child's website.
- Explain that kids should post only information that you — and they — are comfortable with others seeing.
- Remind your kids that once they post information online, they can't take it back.
- Know how your kids are getting online.
- Talk to your kids about bullying.
- Talk to your kids about avoiding sex talk online.
- Tell your kids to trust their gut if they have suspicions.
- Read sites’ privacy policies.
- Go where your kids go online.
- Review your child’s friends list.
(see the link in the source for more detail on all these - it's aimed toward parents, though)
Whether each of these are appropriate in your situation is up to you to figure out. Personally, I think you won't be able to prevent children from using any particular web site; they can always go to a library, school, or friend's house, or possibly use their cell phone to get onto the Internet. The question is, will they feel comfortable talking to someone, including siblings or parents, about those sites in the event that they are being bullied or are concerned about someone that's been talking to them? If your brother is afraid you'll yell at him for using a social networking site when you (or your parents) told him not to, he might not talk to you when he has questions about what's safe to do on them.
Reply:They can only be dangerous if he gives out too much information. He should only talk to people he knows, keep his identity a secret, and know that he should never meet anyone he does not know.

Social networking sites question!?
Hi ive found this great new Social networking site where you can actually get paid for doing what we are all doing here, this is no scam i promise you , we all get paid from the advertising on the website , its all explained here
http://r.yuwie.com/obiindy
so if your interested and you want to make some money have a look, it costs nothing to just have a look
regards obiindy
Social networking sites question!?
Yeah, sure .. it's not a good idea to advertise here ..
First some-one will report you for posting 'links' and second we are all too cynical (at best you will be accused of 'phishing' - at worst of 'grooming' ...)

Social Networking Website - feature requests!?
If somebody wanted to start a new social networking website, what features would you like to keep and what would you like added?
Social Networking Website - feature requests!?
Ive noticed there are a lot of people looking for people they met on vacation or a cruise or something and people that are looking for people that the new as children, or worked with and have no way to search for them even though they have a name.. so something where people could put in keywords and maybe find people they lost. Like say "alaska cruise 200" and there would be headlines by other people looking for people that were on a cruise in 2000.
If you figure out a way to make it work and use my idea.. remember where you got it ;)

How can small businesses use social networking sites such as MySpace?
MySpace, Facebook and other social networks have become extremely popular on the Web. How can small businesses develop a presence on these social networks? How can small businesses use these sites to get customers? Examples of successful small business entrepreneurs using these social networking sites will be appreciated.
How can small businesses use social networking sites such as MySpace?
I've actually contemplated creating a MySpace for the business but have hesitated mostly due to the very nature of MySpace. It's primarily, as you state, a social networking site that's really geared towards person-to-person socialization.
I also think that the nature of the small business will determine if a valid presence can be made or not. For example, businesses geared towards the entertainment industries may fare better than say insurance companies due to the inordinate amount of musicians, wanna be models %26amp; actors on MySpace.
There are a few avenues on MySpace that may be worth exploring:
1) Groups: Create a group centered around your small business. Recruit members, encourage discussion, publish posts, etc.
2) Events: Create an event centered around your business, be it in a physical location or out in the virtual world.
3) Classifieds: Pretty self-explanatory
Hmm, now that I took some time to devote some thought to it, I may look into MySpace again. Thanks for the inspiration imisidro!
The social network sites that seem to be more advantageous to small businesses are Squidoo, Ryze %26amp; LinkedIn. I'm a member of all three but admittedly have not had much time to devote to exploration.
I'm not familiar with any successful small business entrepreneurs using MySpace or Facebook. Sorry I can't help you there.
Hope that helps!
Reply:I usually see a lot of musicians using those sites for promotion. They promote their myspace page on external communications - i.e link on web site, flyers so that their fans know when their next gig is, how to purchase CDs, etc. But usually the promotion of the page is done out-side of myspace.

Social Networking sites and marketing - is it worth the time and effort?
I have been thinking about joining into myspace and others to help promote a business. Does this work? Is it really worth the time to set up a nice "space" or do the members of these places just view such things as spam?
Any experience with linkedIn?
Any lists of niche social networking sites - especially those focused on business or education?
Social Networking sites and marketing - is it worth the time and effort?
I have a myspace account for personal use and I hate it when people want to network because they have a business. I mark them as spam all the time. Whenever I talked to people about different products, they always say I am a sales man and don't listen to me.
If you want to set up a myspace account because you need more business, than you should develop your own site.
I can help you build your own site and get the traffic you need. I will show you the same system that I use to get results on the net. It is simple to use and takes as much effort and time as using myspace except you own it and control it.
My site is geared towards mlm people but if you are not an mlm person, that is ok. It will work for all business professions.

Social networking websites for Sale?
Things to look for when buying complete websites:
Is the site making any money? Is there proof?
Does the site have traffic? Is there proof?
Check the domain name to see when domain was registered.
Check out the web sites' Google™ page rank.
Check out the web sites' Alexa™ ranking.
Check out the web sites' backward links in Google™, All the Web, Altavista and other search engines.
If you plan to use Google Adsense™, ensure the site has not been banned.
What does is take to maintain the site? i.e. hosting fees, content addition, promotion, etc.
Why does the owner want to sell the website?
While all of those factors are individually important, ultimately you should go with your gut instinct before you purchase a website. You know your circumstances, the time you can devote to a new website, what you will have to do to maintain the website, the additional costs involved, etc. Only you can determine if it will be a good business decision for you to buy an established web site

Are social networking sites a good place to find leads?
I was just wondering if Social Networking sites are a good way to find leads. I was thinking about using MySpace to advertise my business "College Network Travel" but with so many distractions I keep thinking no one will really notice exactly what it is that I'm trying to get across. What do you think%26gt;
Are social networking sites a good place to find leads?
Hi!
I would disagree with MAX. Adwords are for experienced people, who have done testing and research with ads and so on...
Social networking works but it demands that you establish good relationships(that means putting time in) and it can be very powerful!
One of the best resources that I have found is TrafficEra.
It's a social networking community, a blog, traffic exchange and discussion forum all in one!
Hope this helps!
Reply:Myspace was not designed to be a commercial website and you could get your profile deleted if you advertise and annoy someone. You would do better to go to some of the business networking sites. At least you don't run the risk of getting in trouble there or having your profile deleted.
I think all these sites go from free to premium and have listed the levels you need to do what you want.
Bizprenuer (free)
Direct Matches (no need to go higher than the $9.95 a month)
Home Biz (free)

These are just a few. However, in all honesty I have never found internet advertising to be very effective, whether it be spamming in a forum, group, being on social networks, sending out emails, safelists, etc.... Most people are out there spamming their deal -or advertising as some call it, and are very rarely interested in what you have to offer.
I think you are right - too many distractions - no matter where you go. You need seriously compelling ad copy to bring people to you or something other than the 'hey, come join or fly with me'.
If I can help further, just let me know.

that's what i use all the time. it's easy to use and very effective
Reply:how about you forget MySpace and focus on the leads from Facebook.
It is for students, very clear design, has groups where you can join and promote your business, offers marketplace, link and video sharing, and thousands other features.
It is just wonderful for your purposes. I'm currently making a research on Marketing and Advertising on Facebook at a blog called biz-tips-spot with thoughts on how it can be used as advertising vehicle for leads generation.
Reply:Yea, if your willing to spend the time on it, it'll payoff.
It ain't a quick fix, you'll spend a lot of time, repeating yourself, like adding friends to multiple accounts, researching your target audience, testing, and most importantly interacting with the community at large.
Myspace has gotten very very on trying to sell stuff and as a result have made it pretty difficult.
The new thing at the moment is Facebook, I keep hearing stories about how people are making money off of strong profiles.

Are social networking sites a good place to find leads?
Hi!
I would disagree with MAX. Adwords are for experienced people, who have done testing and research with ads and so on...
Social networking works but it demands that you establish good relationships(that means putting time in) and it can be very powerful!
One of the best resources that I have found is TrafficEra.
It's a social networking community, a blog, traffic exchange and discussion forum all in one!
Hope this helps!
Reply:Myspace was not designed to be a commercial website and you could get your profile deleted if you advertise and annoy someone. You would do better to go to some of the business networking sites. At least you don't run the risk of getting in trouble there or having your profile deleted.
I think all these sites go from free to premium and have listed the levels you need to do what you want.

Should social networking sites be encouraged?
There is very clearly a rage over social networking sites these days and you can find users of all age groups as part of these sites. Should there be any hard restrictions and checks on the age of those part of such sites? Do these sites hamper education of school students by biting into their time? Can't they wait to network till they are done with their school education?
Should social networking sites be encouraged?
In this modern world, occupied by the internet , social networking sites are a necessary evil.But nevertheless, certain factors must be considered before allowing members in these sites.Age barrier is the most effective and practical way to control the school goers from getting attracted by these networking sites.There must be some hard core rules to prevent misuse of these sites.Parents must also ensure that their children use the net productively and not destructively. Though these sites provide a window into a wider world with more prospects, all the users must know their limits and use these for beneficial purposes, knowing that every silver has its tarnish, and every opportunity has
its own discomforts.
These sites which encourage networking must ensure that only eligible people, those who do not create disgusting scenario, must be able to access and give material to these sites. Abuse in any form must be reported and severe action taken against it.
Only with the combined effects of Parents, Guardians , Net workers and the site owners and moderators can the networking sites be of more use than they trouble, and their evils can be controlled
Reply:i don't think they should be encouraged; all i've seen come out of them is gossip and long conversations about nothing. social networking sites, as far as i know, only have negative social effects. it seems like a big waste of time; pick up the phone, or go outside to meet people, i say.
Reply:I think they should be encouraged because it´s a good idea to know people and socialize, the earlier the better. Kids that like school will continue to do well and have friends to talk about what they are learning.
Reply:I think you mean "Should they be Discouraged." People can manage their own time, and that includes kids.
Afterall, you're busy posting here, a complete waste of time. Maybe, somebody should be stopping you from doing so.
Reply:Social Networking can be education too. I have always felt that social networking sites essentially boil down to a study in human psychology.
Reply:Isnt yahoo answers a social netwoorking site or do you mean chatting zones
well if its yahoo then i think its greta for the community to participate in a site like this
not only do we benefit from each others experience and words of wisdom we feel akinned to the community as a whole and it genertaes feelings of warmth and acceptance with transverses prejudice and other barriers raised by our media
Reply:I was gonna say Why not?

Social networking sites similar to Ning?
I'm trying to find a social networking site similar to Ning where you can create your own network. Sounds simple, right?
Well, I need a LOT of administrator preferences, where you can monitor everything. Preferably a blog-type site. Ability to add photos. Etc. But the main thing is the administrator preferences. I basically need something kid friendly, for a school based club, for members to use.

Anyone know of any site where you can write someones name and it searches through all the big social networking sites to give you a list of all the people with that name??

Social Networking Sites...always bad for careers?
I've read some articles on the web about how people get turned down for jobs (or lose their jobs) because of finding certain things on the myspace or other profiles of a candidate / employee. For example, finding out things that make the candidate or employee seem immature in some way.
So...my question is...
What if you have a myspace or some other social networking profile, and you keep it clean (image and text-wise)...will employers not be bothered by it? Or is it partly that having a profile on a social networking site is just generally looked down on?
Social Networking Sites...always bad for careers?
That's not necessarily true. When I got hired at my current job, I had a myspace account. In that account I included pictures of myself drinking. Of course, I am underage. This in no way affected my employment. However, this depends on the content and context of the information provided. As long as you don't provide any information on -- 1) Who you are 2) How old you are 3) And what activities you are partaking in. -- A regular background check would not pull anything up of that sort. If you keep the profile clean (no profanity, no nude pictures, that kind of thing) you should be pretty safe.
Reply:Just don't keep your full name on it, there you go!

Social Networking & Site Promotion?
Thinking that one or more of the social networking sites like MySpace or FaceBook might a viable means of promoting one of my websites.
I have no experience with any of them and don't know which might be most effective or if any would make sense.
The site I want to promote is http://www.CanadianDots.ca and is a forum for the discussion of the .ca Canadian domain name market.
Any suggestions for which social networking site would be best to use and/or guides as to how to go about it would be appreciated.
Social Networking %26amp; Site Promotion?
The best guide I have read for using Social Networks for promoting websites (without breaking the rules) is Spacebankers. The author is a college student who paid his way through college doing this. He makes more than many adults with full time jobs. Check out his story below:

This website is great for web advertising. It's a free targeted advertising (based on you selecting various categories you would like to be included in) and link exchange network. You put other websites text ads on your page and yours appears on others. And it really is 100% free, forever. While it's not something that guarantees traffic it also doesn't cost anything, so why not try it?
Good luck!

What makes a social networking site great?
Nowadays everyone has a favorite networking site (MySpace, Facebook, Friendster, Bebo, MyYearbook, Yuniti). With all the networking sites out there, there's very few people who haven't joined at least one.
So, why join one over the other?
What makes your favorite social networking site great?
What makes it better than "all the others"?
What do you think is missing in social networking sites?
What would you like to see?
I want to know what is missing in the world of social networks, it could be the next feature on yuniti! ( http://yuniti.com )
What makes a social networking site great?
I think being able to earn money from your profile as well as netwroking with old friends makes a social site great. I do both by using a new facebook application called SeatBOT. I put the details of the application below in my sources.

Social Networking for Nerd/Geek?
Well, lately I've taken a rather different turn at work, and started listening to people in a social way (ie conversation not about work itself). It seems that a few of the young bloods are into this MySpace thing (I know what it is, I just hate it enough to pretend it needs to be "loaded on a dump truck and shipped through an endless series of tubes").
Anyway, I was just wondering if there's a technically-oriented social networking site for nerds/geeks or programmers/hackers. Something like MySpace or Beebo, _not_ something like the Trifecta (/., Digg, and ArsTechnica) which only supply information and links (yes, strange coming from me...).
Either that or a good chatroom or something to help increase my "social skills" so that should the opportunity present itself, I may receive a promotion that would factor social skills into the mix.
Social Networking for Nerd/Geek?
best thing is not to join such social networkin sites....'coz once u do u get addictd n it takes a lot of ur time.....if u want to improve social skiils then just go do it....i mean like go meet people really and converse....thts de best thing....

Social networking sites bad for mental health?
I am a member of three different social network sites, only because a friend from college invited me to join. I'm a loner but she is social and she has a big list of friends, and I look through her profile and see messages she has sent to her friends and I can't help but think she cares about them much more than me. I also look through her pics and see the fun times she has with these friends and they look so close in the pics. I have barely no one on my friends lists and I can't help but think that I am just an accessory to add to her friends list to make her look more popular. We had a romance once but that was five years ago and we never kissed or anything but held hands and hugged as she was in a relationship. I feel that social networking sites are making my depression worse and am thinking of quitting them for good. Anyone else feel that these sites suck?
Social networking sites bad for mental health?
if you are a loner, but would like to change that, you can do what i'm trying right now. practicing doing new things that i don'tfeel comfortable doing but yearn to do, and allow myself to do them even while i feel uncomfortable. Because the thing you have to realize is...that most other people can't even tell hwo you're feeling or what you're thinking. You're the only one who knows you best..these other peope don't know You. You know, they can't recoginzie the way you are..they need much more time to be able to do that..after they've gotten to know you. Now, it does happen, though, that someone who is in the same situtation as you or has been..can recognize how you are feeling or whatever it is..what you are thinking even. But that's usually like Not the case though..Most people won't even notice you're feeling insecure or uncomfortable about this new experience you're going through at the time [when trying something new] and they're focuzed ont ehmselves and are insecure too, so if anything they will just think that it's something they did wrong ...like ok that person is a little snobby..hmm..or like..you know? they'll think it's about THEm. LOL so common with the human population. LEMME TELL YA. lol we're all so self-absorbed...so don't beat urself up about being self centered or too worried about ur own needs...lmao...u know like the only reason it could be constantly on ur mind if it is..would be cuz u haven't tried and gotten through the epxerience in one piece lol. so just try it and let urself be ok with not feeling comfortable while doing it. It's a challenge, but many things in life are.
always remember, tho, everyone is self-absorbed and everyone is usually mostly thinking about how You're Perceiving THEM or whatever it is instead of the other way around. but when u've been urself and have felt that u accept urself after that experience..u feel much safer in the world..and much safer in ur own skin. Cuz u now trust who you are more now and feel more capable as a result. You feel more capable of doing something new and getting through in one piece. it won't be that daunting anymore and you won't feel like new things will be all that much of an obstacle anymore. So remember...if you wanna feel in control of your life, you have to lower perfectionistic standards and realzie that it's ok to feel uncomofrtable with a new experience..but know that the other person usually won't be able to tell if ur uncomfortable, and if they do by some chance, they won't care cuz they'll feel flattered u've gotten the courage to talk to them.....remember everyone is self-centered. And so...allow urself to make mistakes and to try new things and experiment..don't be too hard on urself like that and see that doing something for the first few times is always challenging, but it can be fun if you just allow urself to be uncomfortable and realize ur '[already, yes] succeeding jsut by Trying!! big w00t to that=]] Hehe. Good luck.

I had perfectionistic parents..plus I've been shy for a long time. Don't let ur parents attitude get to you. Fockers. lol. They really never made me feel comfortable with mistakes tho. So anyway. =] You know what to do. Right? 'Luck.

I think you really like this girl more than you say and are feeling a little "jealous" of her friends for using up her time, maybe? Or could you just be envious of the friends she has because you aren't an easy friend maker?
Hon, only you can change things about you. Get out more and meet "real" people. Anonymous people on the internet aren't really "friends" now, are they? Friends are those who stick by you, they're always there for you, they talk with you and to you. Wouldn't you rather have a warm blooded person to talk with than an internet "friend"?
I don't know if I've made any sense to you, but I just think you are too young to be stuck on the internet not experiencing life. Try it, you may like it.
Social networking sites bad for mental health?
if you are a loner, but would like to change that, you can do what i'm trying right now. practicing doing new things that i don'tfeel comfortable doing but yearn to do, and allow myself to do them even while i feel uncomfortable. Because the thing you have to realize is...that most other people can't even tell hwo you're feeling or what you're thinking. You're the only one who knows you best..these other peope don't know You. You know, they can't recoginzie the way you are..they need much more time to be able to do that..after they've gotten to know you. Now, it does happen, though, that someone who is in the same situtation as you or has been..can recognize how you are feeling or whatever it is..what you are thinking even. But that's usually like Not the case though..Most people won't even notice you're feeling insecure or uncomfortable about this new experience you're going through at the time [when trying something new] and they're focuzed ont ehmselves and are insecure too, so if anything they will just think that it's something they did wrong ...like ok that person is a little snobby..hmm..or like..you know? they'll think it's about THEm. LOL so common with the human population. LEMME TELL YA. lol we're all so self-absorbed...so don't beat urself up about being self centered or too worried about ur own needs...lmao...u know like the only reason it could be constantly on ur mind if it is..would be cuz u haven't tried and gotten through the epxerience in one piece lol. so just try it and let urself be ok with not feeling comfortable while doing it. It's a challenge, but many things in life are.
always remember, tho, everyone is self-absorbed and everyone is usually mostly thinking about how You're Perceiving THEM or whatever it is instead of the other way around. but when u've been urself and have felt that u accept urself after that experience..u feel much safer in the world..and much safer in ur own skin. Cuz u now trust who you are more now and feel more capable as a result. You feel more capable of doing something new and getting through in one piece. it won't be that daunting anymore and you won't feel like new things will be all that much of an obstacle anymore. So remember...if you wanna feel in control of your life, you have to lower perfectionistic standards and realzie that it's ok to feel uncomofrtable with a new experience..but know that the other person usually won't be able to tell if ur uncomfortable, and if they do by some chance, they won't care cuz they'll feel flattered u've gotten the courage to talk to them.....remember everyone is self-centered.

Social-Networking Sites?
The use of social networking, photo hosting, and online video websites represent a significant shift in online user behavior.
What is your experience with these sites? What is you favorite? Do you account with any of them? What are the pros and cons? Which one do you recommend, and why?
MySpace is the leader in social networking, receiving 82% of those visits among the top 20 social networking websites in September 2006. Then, come FaceBook (www.facebook.com), Bolt (www.bolt.com), Bebo (www.bebo.com), Orkut (www.orkut.com), Gaia Online (www.gaia.com)
In photo sharing, there are : PhotoBucket (www.photobucket.com), Flickr (www.flickr.com), YouTube (www.youtube.com).
There are others, here's a listing http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_soc...
Social-Networking Sites?
Hello,
I have used various social networking, photo, hosting and on-line video websites.
I've used my space. I like it because it has live hosting.
I can meet up with friends and family. It;s so easy,
even my 10yr old niece has a page.... I don't like when the service is down or you've posted a bulletin or a comment, and you get an error code.....
I like photobucket and your file host because you can put as many pics and videos as you want.
You have personal accounts for sharing your information, and it's share away!
I was referred to OBC On-line booty Call by a friend, I thought it was too basic, and I didn't like it because the responses to find someone available can be over-whelming. You decide who you want to contact you. It has pen-pal messaging with other users,I didn't like it because it was too confusing.
I've used blackplanet too, because they have chat rooms. It's pretty easy to set up. You just can't leave a message to people, the way you expect it too.
My favorite being RLC Red Light Center. I like it because it
has live hosting. I can design my webpage the way I'd like it
to look. I can BE my 3D avatar and socialize with new people, chat, and party (they have a virtual world)
Not to mention. It is a website with adults on it. I don't always like to socialize with teenagers, that's just me.
Here's a few of the link sites to check out, one being my myspace page
and the other RLC (red light center) vs myspace.
Hope this helped some
Reply:Photobucket is my favorite photo/video hosting site. Extremely easy to use and upload. I have never had a problem with it. MySpace is very laggy at certain times of the day, and a lot of the time, after posting a bulletin, you get a message saying, "Sorry an unexpected error has occurred." Classmates.com is very very basic. I heard FaceBook really has a lot of privacy issues. MySpace and Photobucket are really the most useful. Blogger is the best though! :-)
