MySpace vs Facebook. Let the battle begin!

Facebook is adding a "username" to people's account to "easily direct friends, family, and coworkers to your profile". Is my full name not enough to direct someone to my profile? I logged into MySpace account for the first time in a few weeks and I noticed they have a new bar at the bottom of the page...just like Facebook...with online friends and chat...just like Facebook. And yet Facebook is letting you choose a username...just like Myspace. We all know that Myspace is to Facebook like Yahoo is to Google. Tom and Jerry Zuckerberg. Mark your posts!

Smarter password security

Do you save the answers in a security question to a file in your computer? How secure do you think this practice is? When you answer a typical security question, such as what was your first teacher's name, do you check to see if you have already put that information somewhere on your blog, MySpace or Facebook profile? I'm also curious about people's attitudes towards hacking. If someone was hacking into your account but was inflicting a very small, almost insignificant and undetectable damage/change to your privacy, data or financial statement would you rather know about it or not?

To give you an example, suppose the hacker changed one of your 30 or so interests you listed on one of your many profile pages from sailing into rowing, would you really bother to spend the time and effort to improve your security or would you rather let the incident go unanswered until a more serious intrusion happened?

I'm sure people would want to know if a big intrusion occurred but what about a very small one?

With the popularity of myspace increasing the number of sites offering myspace comments have increased over the internet. These sites offer comment codes that can be pasted on myspace profile pages. These comments could be anything from simple images to complex graphical representations of popular celebrities. They could be nice, they could be naughty or even rude comments. Do you use myspace, do you use myspace comments?

How to make an impossible 1st date happen

Buy 2 tickets for the next show in town. Check on FB or MySpace for the best-looking girls and send a last-minute message "Hey, I know this is out of the blue, but i got last minute tickets to this tomorrow. Would you like to go? It's so last minute i am asking a few friends, so whoever gets back to me first..." If the event can be during the day it's better. Use your charm and good luck but Remember! You paid for the ticket, so choose the hottest girls to send the message to..:) If you get no one to come with you, don't waste your money, ask your girlfriend. Good luck on the next show :P
