Bowl O' Alpen Posted April 19, 2006 Report Share Posted April 19, 2006 After yet another hour of worthless trawling of profiles of people I have never/will never meet in my life I'm really starting to question whether Bebo is actually beneficial to my life. In a purely statistical form, I'm currently 85% non-beneficial...Bebo is a an over-hyped, life-sapping phenomenon which will soon die out.Discuss.

Paranoid Android Posted April 19, 2006 Report Share Posted April 19, 2006 I think Bebo is probably more popular. I would have said myspace a couple of weeks ago after hearing people speak about it on here all the time and a couple of other places. Then one day I suddenly realised that practically every person in my uni is spending most their time on Bebo. I'm hearing all sorts of different people al lover the place speaking about Bebo. It makes sense that it's more popular really, from what I've seen Myspace is primarily designed for bands to promote themselve but people obviuosly have pages to ramble on about themselves as well. Bebo is designed for people to ramble on about themsleves, and also to keep in touch with people from school uni etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Kernel Loaf Posted April 19, 2006 Report Share Posted April 19, 2006 Maybe old MySpace whores have joined Bebo as they see it as a more underground, cooler MySpace-type site where only the best people go - the majority trying to be in the minority so to speak.

framheim Posted April 19, 2006 Report Share Posted April 19, 2006 there's no way myspace is underground anything. everyone and their mum is on myspace and it's owned by newscorp now, how can that be underground? it's one of the most visited sites in the entire interweb.

*Amy* Posted April 19, 2006 Report Share Posted April 19, 2006 I can't believe I joined Bebo. I was looking through the video charts on it yesterday and there was one, positioned at around #40, of a girl enjoying some time in her pants with a friend recording it. This is supposed to be a website for school pupils to use o_O I do prefer MySpace but on Bebo you get to see a fetching picture of Bowl O' Alpen in a court, fake of course.

Paulscoconutass Posted April 19, 2006 Report Share Posted April 19, 2006 It's not all it's cracked up to be....BO, but it's still pretty cool for actually finding people you know from school and stuff as opposed to pseudo-cool kids on myspace.

weaver Posted April 20, 2006 Report Share Posted April 20, 2006 yesThe clientelle is certainly different. Whereas on myspace it's mostly chaps with emo fringes trying to be as cool as possible, bebo is full of geeks, neds, and basically most type of person in the human spectrum. You're far more likely to find someone you've lost contact with on bebo. Most people are making use of the unlimited photo space - compared to the 12 you get on myspace - to share their images of thee night before. Nights out are organised on bebo instead of in the hall kitchen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[/quote']thats exactly it!the thing that annoys me about bebo (well my mates that use it) is when they go on about finding everyone from schools profiles and stuff, fair enough it might be interesting to see what people are up to these days but surely if you wanted to keep in contact with friends you would? plus bebo doesn't accept html coding like myspace so you have to choose a shitty skin the've made. its far more limiting creatively.

HairyScaryMark Posted April 20, 2006 Report Share Posted April 20, 2006 Doesn't Rupert Murdoch own it now? Because that would just prove exactly how underground it is.Newscorp is Rupert Murdoch's company.Myspace accounts for over 10% of all internet advertising, there is no way Bebo is as popular. That is probably a large reason why Murdoch bought myspace. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Old Gold Posted April 20, 2006 Report Share Posted April 20, 2006 The only reason I've ever heard of Bebo is because of all the people who are allegedly dying for me to join it. My hotmail inbox is fucking bombarded with random requests for some reason.I'm not big on meeting random internet people, so Myspace is pretty much the only worthwhile one for me. The music streaming is better than purevolume, and it's safe from viruses. Emo kids are easily ignored. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lemonade Posted April 20, 2006 Report Share Posted April 20, 2006 I had never heard of Bebo till just now, I signed up to see what you were all talking about, becamse a member of my old school, found that every else who was registered was about 15, and then cancelled my membership.
