MySpace and Facebook
Do any of you have MySpace and Facebook profiles? It seems like at the lab, everyone has them except for the slightly older crowd – read – me and another post-doc.
I get my fill of online social networking with blogging and checking friend’s blogs, but I was curious if any of you are into it. Or all we all past that?
Just wondering….

I have this prejudice that they’re for a younger crowd. This isn’t true, but you know how prejudices work. Besides, I have enough trouble keeping my blog going. I don’t need to add more to it!
Amber says:
I have a facebook, since I am pretty young and all my friends have one. It really helps having that to keep connected with them.
Myspace? -gag-
I have an account, but solely for the purpose of viewing a friend’s privated blog. I don’t know why she insists blogging on there when there are hundreds of better options.
Anyway, if you ever decide to get a social networking account, I’d recommend facebook or even linked in (that iis more for professiional).

I have a Facebook page. When Facebook first started, I believe you had to have an .edu email address, so it was definitely a younger crowd. I was mentoring an undergrad this summer and the whole group doing the program really got in to Facebook, so I actually started using it. I think that people 26-ish and up are starting to use it more. My sister is obsessed now!
It is nice, in that you can keep up with people even *more* easily than with just email.
I agree with Amber, Facebook is more social networking and LinkedIn more professional networking.

I have never gotten into them. I know some people my age who are into it, but it’s not for me. I don’t actually like people all that much.

I have a facebook account. The girls at the lab talked me into it a few months ago. It’s not bad. I actually know quite a few grad and med students who use it, including some who I know and network with at other schools. Some people put myspace type stuff all over their pages and some look much more professional. I don’t keep it up super regularly; I prefer my blog (and we all know how rarely I update there…), but it’s pretty fun. (I loathe MySpace.)
