They have automatic copyright on everything that is submitted to them... hmm... didn't knew that. Wonder what exactly that means in terms of reproduction./QUOTE]

I think basically they can use any image you submit for whatever they like, even if you take it down later they can still use it in advertising or whatever. Its a public forum though anyway so presumably you wouldn't publish anything you're not happy to see reproduced.

Luckily, if you use the Java app to upload photos, it resizes the images before sending them (I uploaded 43 6MB images the other night and the end result was about 1MB worth of uploads).

This means that even if they have your photos, and its copyright, they can't do much with them as they are too small for print and even to some degree for web-use.

Facebook used to be good until they allowed non-university students to register. Now it went down the toilet.

i honestly also prefer myspace.. its more customizable

And no wonder face book sends so many e-mails... i signed up two days ago i already have 34 e-mails from them... its like spam i swear.

Damn also registered two days ago, but I haven't received a single e-mail.

I think I shouldn't have put my university e-mail in as they asked. Maybe they are blocking it as spam.

But I checked out the notification thing. There's a long list of stuff they send e-mails for and only *pokes* don't send e-mails by default. So I'll be nice 4cer:

*pokes* 4cer

Hey, anyone interested in exactly how popular facebook really is, and how much traffic it generates on the internet, heres the top 10 sending domains on one of our mailservers at WD.
ps, this mailserver pushes roughly 20000 emails a a day.

for the past 3 months, facebook.com has been climbing to the number 3 spot on our mailservers.
comparisons to it are :
mweb.co.za at position 6
gmail.com at position 7
yahoo.com at position 10

yep, thats right, more mails come into this server from facebook, than mweb, gmail and yahoo.
see image here

AHAH! Position 1 is a p0rn site. LOL Joking

You shouldnt compare Myspace to Facebook

Myspace is about meeting people and expressing yourself (building your own mini page)

as where Facebook is to connect with old friends and keep track of what they doing

Sure the latter concept is much better for a older crowd..

Im one of the owners of a south african social network.. www.blueworld.co.za

Obviously we cant compete with our American counterparts but were getting there.. Improving each day

The "window into the lives of friends and family" analogy describes it perfectly! I love Facebook! So does most my friends...
