I'm one of "them" now :(

I'm such a hypocrite. I spend a week ranting and raving about how retarded bebo is, and then I go and join it - just so i can see one of my mates' pages and then it sucks me in. Typical. Most of it makes for hard reading, I can't stand the "text speak" people on there, but it's not actually too bad otherwise. So, have you fallen into the same trap as I have and joined Bebo? It wouldn't be so fun if there wasn't a gazillion people from my hometown on it.

For shame...

Yeah, after getting 10+ emails from friends wanting me to join, I just gave in and joined to see what the fuss was, turns out it wasn't as bad as I thought it'd be. There's also around 4,000 people on Bebo from NUIG alone :eek:

S'ok Jonesy.

I have done exactly the same thing, and bowed to the all encompassing all pervading one "in thing" that is bebo, and you know what? It actually isn't that bad. Not too many dodgy .gifs or stoopid stoopid midi files whacking out of the speakers at full volume, it actually seems like a web *community*, as opposed to a place for witless 15 to 18 year olds, and born again teenager-type divorced/seperated thirty/forty somethings looking for a soulmate. In short, it's no myspace or faceparty, thankfully...

Sometimes the mass mailings are right, this has shaken my beliefs to the core :eek:

I think I'll stick with Bebo for a bit and see how it goes.

Why bother when you can have an obnoxious SWF do it for you?

MrJoeSoap

I'm on it and like it. Like it a lot actually. Good way of staying in touch with people I haven't seen in ages.

Interesting. Having never composed such an, elaborate, shall we say "home page", I didn't realise the site(s) were set up to facilitate same.

It actually explains why half illiterate (fe)mongs are able to fill their pages with such tasteful additions as glittery angels, football crests, and whatever sh1te the Black Eyed Peas are spewing out today

I still get loads of those stupid emails informing me that someone wants me to take their quiz or something else retarded.
I will never join Bebo.Ever.

rb, I once felt as you do. Embrace the all pervading cult that is the great Beee Bow! You'll never look back, I promise.
