xjustinxschwierx Posted September 30, 2008 Share Posted September 30, 2008 ...that you're using the mobile myspace site instead of the real site? the real site is soooo slow loading and lags like fucking crazy. the new drop down menus keep fucking up and all the commercials/banner ads that slow the pages down drive me crazy. the mobile version is stripped down and super easy to use...it's not without faults but it's a lot faster to use. fyi http://m.myspace.com/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
swank Posted September 30, 2008 Share Posted September 30, 2008 I'm having a similar problem with this "new" facebook garbage. The mobile facebook is better. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sgoodcore Posted September 30, 2008 Share Posted September 30, 2008 As someone who does coding for a living MySpcae is so bad. Something as large as it is shouldn't have any visible issues to users. It almost seems like they don't test a thing before it goes live. Its so frustrating. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cadetapplesauce Posted September 30, 2008 Share Posted September 30, 2008 i dont get what people dont like about the new facebook. i think it's fine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
adamlikesmusic Posted September 30, 2008 Share Posted September 30, 2008 It's nothing new, but what bugs me about Facebook is the million and a half "take this survey" or "here's a picture, download this app to use it" invites. I logged in yesterday, and in like a month, I got close to 100 "invites" to like 60 different apps. Annoying. (I'm sure these can be blocked - anyone know how?) I don't care for either Facebook, really. I like everything being on one page, though. Not too keen on tabs. (But I never really used Facebook before, so...) But yes, on topic, the Myspace ads suck. I wish these sites would just keep it simple. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AlexH. Posted September 30, 2008 Share Posted September 30, 2008 All my friends hate the new Facebook. I like it way better. Adam, when you get an application invite you can choose to block all invites to that application or my personal favorite, block all app invites from the user who sent it. Once I did this, I found that it was only about 5 people who were sending me all these invites. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jailhouse Posted September 30, 2008 Share Posted September 30, 2008 I have never signed up nor even checked out facebook before, but I keep getting things in my e mail somehow, that so and so has invited me to be their friend on facebook? I would think it was just spam, but usually it's people I actually went to school with or something. Is facebook cool? like worth having an account?

andrew13 Posted September 30, 2008 Share Posted September 30, 2008 i check my myspace maybe once a month. i wish bands would start using facebook for their accounts, then maybe i'd get back into booking shit. i'm just sick of myspace and all the spam and ads over there.

kirbypuckett Posted September 30, 2008 Share Posted September 30, 2008 You can block the Facebook app stuff. It's not that hard -- I don't get any of that stuff anymore. I also like the new layout. Myspace, eh, it is what it is. If more of my friends used Facebook I wouldn't need Myspace, but most people use that so I stick around. The bulletins are handy too. BLOCK ADS PEOPLE! Even if you just do it for a select few websites (so that places like VC get the ad-revenue. It makes a HUGE difference in the speed on websites like Myspace and Facebook who's sole purpose is to sell you stuff. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

benchwarmer Posted September 30, 2008 Share Posted September 30, 2008 I need to start blocking apps on facebook, if I get another "you have a green patch" something or other, I'm going to stab someone. I also like that my facebook status updates with my twitter. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is facebook cool? like worth having an account? i only created one because I wanted to make a label page like the ucr myspace only to find out that essentially you can't do that and they don't really have band pages...or at least I couldn't figure out how to make one...

jhulud Posted September 30, 2008 Share Posted September 30, 2008 I have both...and I'm equally annoyed at them. The apps that each carry are killing me. Moreso on Facebook than on Myspace. I have been finding though that the new Facebook is harder to navigate and not as user-friendly as it used to be. Or maybe I'm just old... I did recently add a singles dating app to my Myspace though. Just for shits and giggles I guess. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skumbucket Posted September 30, 2008 Share Posted September 30, 2008 And yeah, my internet teacher hates myspace because of all the stupid "convenient" shit they do you have an internet teacher? yikes. i'm self-taught. also, the new facebook is equally as good/bad as the old one, myspace is and always has been the worst website ever, and sites with that many ads are the opposite of helpful.

leerobert Posted September 30, 2008 Share Posted September 30, 2008 I'm fed up with shitty clothing companies trying to add me on myspace. It seems every two bit scene kids prints up a bunch of shitty t-shirts for a quick buck these days. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

martyk36 Posted September 30, 2008 Share Posted September 30, 2008 I stopped using MySpace a long time ago. It's garbage. I have no problem with Facebook. I actually like the new look a lot more than the old look because I don't have to sift through applications when I'm reading others'. It took getting used to, yeah, but it's really not that bad. I agree w/ Jeff. Myspace is an advertising wasteland. and it doesn't help that porn sites make those fake profiles that try and add you..."hey baby, I'm knew in town and need to meet some new people" gimme a freakin' break...stupid. /rant.
