Facebook users 'are insecure, narcissistic and have low self-esteem'

If you can quote Marx, you're in. You can find me here and then add me as a friend.

"Religion is the opiate of the People."

I requested you, I use a different name there.

Great. I'll be mailing you your "Have you hugged a Communist today" button and beret. Stand by for more communist dogma.

Now everyone knows what name you use there.

I tried out facebook for a few weeks last year. It brought out the Closet Sociopath in me.

IMO this thread is merely an invitation for people to look themselves up on FB.

Woohoo! Will I get a hammer and/or sickle?

Now everyone knows what name you use there.

They do?

How many of you have stopped using MySpace because of facebook?

Yes. Or rather, anyone who has Steven as a friend does.

I never used MySpace. I did used to use Friendster, many years ago.

I have a Friendster account as well. I was never active on it, only posted some photos so I could share with friends.

I think fb would be cooler if they'd allow a MySpace-style profile customization. That's the only thing they're really lacking now that their photo hosting is up to par. MySpace saw the writing on the wall and added the status updates (just like VJ did. HA!) but it was already too late. If they were really smart, they'd merge!

That's exactly what I hated about myspace. You'd go to people's profiles and they'd be all glittery and assault your ears with some offensive music.

But that's what's missing from fb. You can't "add your flair" to your profile. How are people supposed to know every single thing about you just from your witty status updates?

How representative a sample was the 100? All polling works by taking representative samples.

Never would have pegged you for a flair type of guy.

Yup, I hate that about MySpace too. MySpace has this ghetto feel to it for that reason. I feel like suddenly everyone around me is all pimped out and wearing lots of bling.

Facebook feels more grown up, less hood.
