Does anyone have a FB page? If you do and want to add me. Just look up James Ravida. But makes sure you get me and not my father. He made a page once but never used it. His page was James or Jim Sr Ravida I believe.

I have a page that I created over a year ago which I refuse to update or do anything with. Once Michael Bay sends the truckload of cash to my house for my Death To You All screenplay, and I'm snorting lines of coke off Megan Fox's tits with hundred dollar bills, then I will update my Facebook page. "Hey, look at me, I'm snorting lines of coke off Megan Fox's tits with hundred dollar bills", I will say.
It just seem monumentally pointless to me otherwise.

No facebook page here. I have a myspace that I barely ever look at.

Myspace will be dead and buried in five years. Precedent: Geocities.

Looks like I'll just have to not talk to old classmates without having a social networking page that makes it look like I might.

Is Facebook not just like Myspace?

From what I gather yes. But Facebook started out as having to have you be enrolled in college. Now they're just letting anyone in. Why would you want to go to a place thats lowered they're standards?

I don't know.
I think you must have to register to see the pages. I found Champ but I was prompted to register and all that crap.

I think I can live without seeing the pages.

It's different than myspace because people are supposed to use their real names so there's no identity thefts and it keeps people in check from spamming or doing crooked shit

I would have thought that not using real names would be a better way of defeating identity theft.

Is Facebook not just like Myspace? They're similar but different. Generally speaking MySpace is more geared towards hosting your band's music, blogging and so on. Facebook is more like a phone book (bear with me here), in that you look up someone's name and there's a pic, some information and you can leave a message or whatever. That's not to say you can't do any of those things on either site, but that is broadly how people use them. Also generally speaking, Facebook is used more by adults and Myspace by teenagers/kidz.

Yeah it does! I have 310 friends, basically alomst everyone I've met or gone to school with over the last 30 years and it's everyone's real names. I've never had that kind of problem. And if an old friend is on there only to spam or sell, chances are, another one of your friends that know him reported him already It's a great way to get in touch with people you haven't seen in years. For example, when I was 9 years old, my best friend moved to Florida and I was so upset and depressed the rest of the year. I got a letter from him right after he moved. Then I moved and we never spoke again. For the last 20 years I was always curious as to what he was up to. I just so happened to find him a few months ago and we spoke a little bit. It's great for stuff like that
