Is bebo mega addictive?

Bartronilic

It's already responsible for 28 girl's suspension in Alexandra College and it has become the new way to talk to people among college students (particualrly UCD and TCD).

I'm addicted, it's so much easier to use than myspace and it comes without the "i had another crap day today" blog BS.

No really at first it's addictive, then ya just kinda get over it. it is damn handy and fun for talking to people though and there are less posers than my space.
Bebo is basically a place where you set up an account and add friends by email you can blog, make polls,draw on white boards share photos etc.It's jsut handy for talkin to people and stuff.

It's only good if you have people on it you know. My whole year, all my mates in one of the societies I'm involved in, and some mates from IRC are all on it. So I've loads of time to waste doing pics/emails/quizes.

But otherwise its a load of tripe just like wasteofspace etc.

So its things that you can do with people who will likely be sitting in the same room as you face to face, but over the internet instead? Like asking questions, talking, describing, etc.

Sounds useless.

Facebook is much better in my opinion, unfortunatly the only uni in ireland on it is tcd though.

Yeah but if you're not going to be face to face with them and want to tell a group of people the same thing at once, then it's very useful.

So much Spam!! It's a bit of fun though.

rugbug86

abercrombie

Tiriel

The_B_Man

funnily enough, i only joined it a cupla days ago coz my ex sent me a signup thingy. havent really got the hang of it yet but myspace is blocked in the college here so i might start usin it more than once a week.

DEmeant0r

I don't have many irl friends that are on Myspace or Bebo or Xanga or any of those blog type chatty things... so it's carp to me...

cil_aine

What are you talking about. Bebo had nothing to do with the Alexandra thing. It was www.hateboard.com. And only 14 were suspended. 20 got detention...

cooker3

I have been using a fair bit last week, has nothing to do with trying to kill time when I really study I swear, only problem with bebo it tends to break a lot and generally designed rather shabbily but good time killer.

besty

Addictive it is. It's the bane of my life when trying to study. Still, a bit of fun

muckwarrior

Joined it yesterday. A friend invited me.

caesar

I joined it about 4 days ago, a friend invited me too>

marshmallow

Addictive alright! All my friends on msn have invited me. I have about 100 profiles, could spend hours looking through them all! You never know who you will find on it!

steveland?

Seriously addictive... it's the reason I can't study...

Funnily enough I joined it when I got an email from someone to do their quiz and I was a bit drunk and thought what the hell... Few months after I get all these e-mails of people wanting to connect with me and now there's millions of people on my Friends list thingy...

Seems everyone I was in school with is on it too and practically all of DCU have an account...

Seems I missed the last day of school where they passed out the Bebo memberships...

hollyhamill

yeah tis real good but does it take as long for everyone else to upload their photos, or is that just me!

qz

Like, omg, totally, are you on *tilts head* bebo?!

Sangre

Its just one big popularity contest. And Im winning.

rainbow kirby

I don't like Bebo. It's basically the more annoying southside traits in website form, and that gets on my nerves.

Waltons

I'm on it, but I don't use it that much. Maybe it's just me, but it's very 'meh'.
Apart from the Jesus profile :v:

Loadsa my friends are signed up for it and send me invitation things, but I'm not bothered signing up... I spend enough time on the internet as it is, tbh

Morf3h

bebo is class, and they recently added skype so you can talk for free as well.

Hey,
Does anybody know how to put up a flash thing?

gaf1983

Bebo is a fine, if particularly pointless, internet service, and it is to be praised.

there are three ways of putting up a flash as your profile:

#1
Enter the full URL for the SWF that you would like to display on your profile page.
SWF URL

After clicking SAVE please be patient whilst we check that the URL is valid.

#2
Find Flash on someones Profile and click 'Add To My Profile'

or

#3
View the charts and click 'Add To My Profile' next to any you like

Meh. M-E-H. Meh. Doesn't anyone watch the Simpsons anymore?!

Anywho, it means so-so, or okay. It's a mediocre thing.

Pjays

the quizzes are deadly and so much fun especially to do during these boring computer classes.

What on earth is the point? Putting up some stupid profile? So what? How is it addictive?

I'll stick to forums

Nala

ah bluey bebo is deadly

Setun

Bebo is alright, defo not addictive though. I check it every now and again, whiteboards are the best bit about it.

scoobysnacks

Does anyone know if you delete your profile does all the stuff and quizzes you have posted on do they delete also??
For example i people did a quiz and then delete their profiles does their answers go aswell?

Nope, They will still stay there.

Blisterman

Whats the difference between Bebo, Myspace and Facebook anyway?

beanyb

It's more distracting than addictive. You can spend hours putting off what you're actually meant to be doing on it!
