No shit. Load up a page and there are clips everywhere and about 100 pictures with stupid, massive writing on them. It is ****ing ridiculous to be perfectly honest and why I never got into my space.
 
Facebook's apparently worth US$15 billion, as Microsoft were prepared to spend US$240 million on 1.6% of it. An article on the BBC explains this with 15 reasons why it's worth so much:

1. The network has gone viral in the last 12 months, with more than 50 million users worldwide and a user base that is growing faster than great rival MySpace. According to Facebook, it adds 200,000 new users each day.
2. The average user spends 3.5 hours a month on Facebook - more than the average user on rival MySpace - which is increasingly attractive to advertisers.
3. Facebook is the current Web 2.0 darling - popular with ordinary users and "tech heads" alike.
4. US research reveals that Facebook users come from wealthier homes and are more likely to attend college than MySpace users - increasing that attraction for advertisers.
5. Microsoft's investment makes them a serious player in the growing market of "social advertising". Social network profiles are full of personal data that users voluntarily hand over, which is very useful for targeting adverts.
6. Sixty percent of Facebook users are outside of the US - so Microsoft's investment buys access to a global audience quickly and simply.
7. Facebook is the new web: The decision to open up the network to outside developers turned Facebook into a destination for many uses, like messaging, photos and video. Of course, as Facebook is on the web it could never really be the new web.
8. Every major content firm with an online presence is either working on a Facebook application or has already launched one - from Google to the BBC.
9. According to a report, 233 million hours of work are lost each month in the UK due to staff looking at social networks. Advertisers can now target people when at their desks.
10. The openness of Facebook is attracting a wealth of talented developers who can launch their applications to millions of users quickly.
11. Facebook messaging is the new e-mail. Everyone feels stressed from a deluge of e-mail from unwanted people and companies. But Facebook messages are always from friends.
12. Facebook's "status updates" have become the easiest way to let friends know what you are doing and how you are feeling at any given moment.
13. Facebook thrives on playful applications such as Pirates, Zombies, Super Wall and Top Friends, which have made the network a place to play as well as communicate.
14. Facebook is the acceptable face of blogging - you can reflect your life and personality online without being seen as a "blogger", which often carries a geeky stigma.
15. Facebook is worth $15bn only because Microsoft says so. The value of Facebook is based on a 1.6% share of the firm being worth the $240m Microsoft paid for it. Microsoft and Google were in a bidding war for a slice of the firm and both companies have large pockets. This was not just business, this was personal, according to some analysts.
 
Myspace has that stupid advertisment that comes up every time you log on. Shits me up the wall.

Facebook by a mile. Less of a teenybopper crowd on there, and seems to be used more as a way of catching up and networking as opposed to simply flashing one's assets.

Plenty of my family and friends are on there and it's been great for me since I am now in another country as a means of keeping in touch.
 
Funny how Facebook and Myspace are the new cultural divinding lines, much like The Stones and Beatles.

Myspace for me. Purley because of the music.
 
too many macy's advertisements/hacks on myspace now
myspace good that you can look through other people's (hotties) pages...facebook ya can only look at your accepted friends.

but **** the myspace music loading up and playing is too annoying.
 
myspace might be more popular now but I find that heaps of people are moving to facebook instead.
I have also found a lot of my primary school friends from facebook.

I use it sometimes.

Facebook irritates me with all these shitty little addons the pages have that my "friends" on there keep sending...who would have thought an innocent little invite could become so irritating.

You weren't invited to take a quiz on there by any chance? That's how I managed to get onto bebo at first. Since then I've gotten mail from my cousins from Queensland who are now on my msn list so I have no use for that site anymore.
