    I use Friendface.co.uk


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 8,493 ✭✭✭DazMarz


    I used bebo up until about 3-4 months ago... Deleted it because I was sick of it.

    Never used Facebook at all.

    I hate all these social networking sites, bloody awful things. I've already got friends I want to ditch in real life; like I need to be trying to ditch online friends!!!:p

    Bebo was much better for the ould perve/nose
    Hate Facebook....cause I'm crap at it :(


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 652 ✭✭✭jeckle


    I heard on SkyNews earlier that someone was arrested (don't know where) for poking someone on Facebook because the other person had a restraining order out against them :eek:


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,075 ✭✭✭Rasmus


    Well isn't there somewhat of a difference between the two? Facebook has a better platform, and Bebo seems pretty teenage as far as I can see. If you are a teenager OP, no offence intended.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,901 ✭✭✭Twilightning


    I have both and I'm not really getting any entertainment out of either, but I think people are being a bit melodramatic when they say they're 'sick of it' and had to delete them. If you don't like it just don't log onto it anymore. I don't anymore, but I'll still pop on now and again to reply to a comment should I get one. Its use doesn't really extend beyond that for me.

    Facebook perving/stalking is a much more difficult skill to master :pac:

    Deleted my Bebo last week after feck knows how long of non-usage.Now Facebook follows me everywhere :eek:


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 2,219 ✭✭✭Lab_Mouse


    Never used either.Adult friend finder is the way to go


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,593 ✭✭✭Sea Sharp


    I made the switch about 6 months ago. I got sick of the fact that the only posts on my profile were automated bebo whores trying to get me to look at webcams.

    Bebo is a popularity contest.
    I have more profile views than you and my last most recent comment was 2 weeks ago.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 668 ✭✭✭blow69


    I've noticed a huge decrease in the number of people using Bebo nowadays. It's been taken over by the teenagers.

    Facebook seems to be for the more mature crowd. It's got a simple, better layout without all the flashy, colourful tackiness of Bebo.

    I still have my Bebo, but haven't recieved any comments in weeks. I probably should just delete it.

    Facebook > Bebo

    Yup, I deleted my Bebo the last week, haven't looked back!

    Facebook is much better,the chat function,and comments that everyone can reply back to and peoples profiles load way faster because of no cunting 'stickers' taken up the whole page....

    The chat thingy on Facebook is rubbish, the picture stuff is rubbish, except that you can tag people, and all the zombie/ pirate/ I did a quiz/ whatever crap is just plain annoying. I keep thinking I've blocked all those daft "news" feeds and then some more crap pops up from someone.

    It is mildly useful for the stalking of what mates are up to though.

    Recently joined facebook after my friend pestering me to join for ages!

    I only use it for the games mostly...

    I use Friendface.co.uk

    Friendface is the best, anyone that hasn't been to do this, do so now!

    Way better than Facebook or Bebo. Its like having a diseased face of friends!

    FB is grand for what it is, once you block all the annoying crap. Bebo is just sh1te, and overrun now with sweetheart spam. Nice to have a more or less rtrdspk free environment though (unless and until one of my wittering teenage sisters pop up, "OMG m gtn so drnk tnite lolololol whos wit mii?")

    It's probably best that you lot abandon Bebo. It'll make it easier for me to pick up your 13 year old sister. ;)
