I got reconnected with a guy from school who revealed he had a crush on me in our highschool years. We talked on the phone a few times before i found out he was a complete jerk and a total scary man. Times like that make me wish i could go back to the pre-internet age

I never really got into the whole myspace thing. I had it for a few months my senior year of college but I rarely checked it and deleted it awhile ago, it just didn't feel safe.. The only social network thing I use is facebook.

I deleted it recently once I started student teaching. And I went over my facebook with a fine-toothed comb... privacy settings out the wazoo!

I used to be a complete MySpace addict, but then I had to delete my profile. I lived without it for a few months, and it was great. Then I got another profile, but my new one is extremely private - I have a tiny friends list, and the only personal info on there is my age and first name.
Everything in moderation, you know.

I don't use mySpace, but I would delete my Facebook profile if I was applying for job.

My fiance asked me to delete it after I was talking to some of my ex boyfriends about 2 years ago... don't have one anymore

I've deleted my myspace profile twice in fact. I made one, deleted it, made another one and realized the error of my ways and deleted that one too. I got in touch with long lost friends, only to remember why we lost touch in the first place. Myspace has just been more heartache than anything else for me. I deleted my facebook for good measure too.

I too miss the yesteryear before so much info was available and encouraged on the web...nice to know I can delete it. How much networking do we really need to do...she said as she typed out a comment on Sugar

I didn't have to delete my MySpace profile: they banned me.

They said that I broke the rules, though I disagree on a technicality: they say (said? I don't know - I couldn't be bothered to re-register) do not use CSS to cover adverts; I used CSS to shrink them to 1px high. They were still there!

I realize many prospective employers will look at MySpace as a source of information - and they can use it in your interview! If they find yours, they may ask you about pictures or blogs, and it's entirely legal to base employment on what they find.

I didn't delete mine, but I am registered under a fake name, fake city, and personal email address. Ain't no-one gonna find me unless I want them to

I don't use either Myspace or Facebook. I have no problems whatsoever keeping in touch with good friends even those from high school and earlier. My thinking is that if people want a relationship with me, they will get a REAL relationship - which involves calling me, hanging out with me and not messaging me over some silly program that the whole world can view. I've never felt "alone" because I don't use social networking site. I think it's a little sad if someone would feel lonely without them...

i've deleted both my myspace and removed my facebook. it at least removes you, but if you log back in, you are back in. that is a little weird, but it is kind of nice. it fuels that addiction.
but i tried to delete my myspace but the stupid thing won't change my e-mail. and i had mine switched to french, so it's a little confusing when i am trying to write an e-mail and i can't remember certain words

I have neither and was thinking of getting myspace to reconnect with people. I have looked on the myspace site and saw so many old classmates, friends, and exes. I don't know if I want them to know about me and what I am doing; so I haven't created one. I still haven't made up my mind.

sure have!

i haven't but i've wanted to. in a way, i dont want to tho bc im lazy and myspace in a weird way is a way for me to be involved in my friends lives but not really be involved (and by friends i mean people who i know but aren't entirely close to). then again, some of my best friends i get to see their haircut or a new boyfriend before i mite see it in person (considering i live 5 or more hours away from most of my friends)

additionally, i am really perplexed on why employers have the right to look at your myspace/facebook and judge you. who you are in your own time is not who you are in a working environment. now, of course, if there is a picture of you at work with a beer or like...slumped over sleeping bc youre soo hung over...then yeah its their business but. i think that employers are just tryin to be too nosy and don't know crap about what they're doing in hiring people so are trying to use myspace/facebook as an excuse

I've thought about it after getting bizarre messsages, but it's a way to connect to lost friends and family I can't see often so I block users and keep it.

I've had a Myspace for a long time... even before a lot of my friends starting signing up. I've considered deleting it a few times, but decided to keep it since I made it private, where only my friends can see my page & pictures. I feel more comfortable that way. Besides, it's a good way for me to keep in contact with my half-brother & cousins on the West Coast, so I don't want to delete it now.

I haven't. And I don't plan to
What I am suppose to do at work all day!?!?!

i deleted my facebook after reading an article in the Uk Guardian. http://www.guardian.co.uk/technology/2008/jan/14/facebook

scary stuff.

Ive deleted my myspaces about three times and Ive made two joint accounts w other people. Myspace wasnt as fun as it was when it first came out. Now my myspace is more private even though anyone can see it I dont put much on my page but photos and people can only private msg me, but at the same time I still have a myspace.

I have one of each but I only check on them about once a week and I rarely have any meaningful "interaction" on them. I always thought they were kind of silly, but peer pressure had its way with me and I finally signed up. Facebook has gotten so ridiculously stupid. One of my friends is always on hers. She does things like superpokes and throws donkeys at other friends. WTF is that about?! My friends list is pathetically small. Most of my myspace friends are people that asked to add me. We never message or anything. It's so pointless. A number on a social networking site does not correspond to actual popularity.

I'm not really fond of online social networks, but I have to have one if I want to make sure my friends get certain messages. They're handy if I want to tell someone something right away and don't want to forget, but that's about it. I used to have a MySpace, but I deleted it. Now I just have a Facebook with very few applications.

I deleted my MySpace account months ago. Mainly because I didn't use it and it got boring.
Never got into facebook......

i'm an avid facebook user, but i deleted my myspace about a year ago... after 3 years of it, i got fed up with all the drama and overuse of html so i quit cold turkey. never been happier.
and i dont put anything too personal on facebook because i know they send your personal info all over the place, and people have to be friends with me to see my profile.

oh and i wouldnt have met my boyfriend if it wasnt for myspace
one of my best friends met her boyfriend on myspace randomly and i ended up meeting his best friend (in real life) and now we've been together for over a year. Awwwwwwwww i know.
then i deleted my account lol.

Every time I made a MySpace profile, I ended up deleting it. I prefer real life friends. Besides, after giving up MySpace, I'm on the computer at home A LOT less and it stopped me from lurking around at other peoples' profiles, reading too much into what people wrote, etc, and all that drama.

I hate MySpace! I only use it to find and listen to new music from bands...

I deleted my MySpace profile a few years ago. I just got sick of it, and felt I was too old for it.

Then, last year, when I started a blog, I created a new one. But it's just to promote my blog. I don't have any personal info on there and I don't use it to discuss anything that's NOT related to my blog.

I never really got into the whole myspace thing.

i love my facebook and am pretty ambivalent about MySpace though I do have an account. i strated with a small group of friends on MySpace and still only have real friends, high school friends, family and musical artists i admire and it is set to private. My facebook on the other hand is a bit out of control. i think about trimming my friends list every day but i have plans to be famous and am afraid if I clip them now thwy will never look at my stuff I want them to see in the near future. LOL!

I was myspace-free for a long time, but honestly it was easy considering NONE of my friends are internet-savvy. I finally got a profile when my sister convinced me too. I immediately became addicted! I set it to text message me when people posted comments and messages. I easily went over my 200 alloted text messages a month, which cost a good deal. I was checking it/playing with it constantly. It fizzled out eventually. I might as well delete my myspace, but there are some less internet-savvy people that find it a lot easier to keep in touch than emailing and whatnot.

Never... I've had the same myspace profile for years and years... I've changed the privacy settings, but never EVER would I delete it... too many important contacts on that thing!

Yes I deleted my MySpace profile. I don't like MySpace. I also deleted Tagged. I have a Facebook account but I don't check or use it regularly. Just once a week to check messages. I only keep the ones I enjoy the most---Friendster and Multiply.

I deleted my MySpace profile because I got so many emails (even after making it private). I use Facebook just to keep tabs on old friends but not sure how much I like it.

i had a myspace account for awhile, but i never updated it and i got way more spam or creepy guy messages so i deleted it after a couple of months. i prefer facebook, but even there i'm starting to get the creepy guy messages.

I deleted mine and then created a new one when my cousins got on.

heres my myspace theory: if they only way u can connect with me is through a computer- then we arent really tight. if u want a relationship with me- find out my number and holla.

I deleted my myspace account a few months ago.
I only use facebook now.

I've had 3 myspaces that I have deleted. This was in high school and my first year of college. I haven't had a myspace in a while now and I really don't miss it!

I don't have anything personal on my MySpace profile. I don't even have my name or pictures of myself. I'm convinced everyone on the internet is going to kill me.

Molly, I just heard the other day about how everyone online was trying to kill you. I mean, at the time it meant nothing, but they were definitely planning to kill a "Molly" and now here you are so it must be you...right?

You know, they could have been saying "lick molly," but what the hell does that mean?

Yeah, you definitely need to be careful...I work in a big firm and Partners do ask their executive assistants to search facebook and myspace profiles of people already on their team to ensure nothing is out there that would reflect badly on them...somebody's always watching! So even if you are past the interview stage and feel secure with your job, be sure to keep it in check!

I didn't know about the whole employer checking them out kind of thing. I'm addicted, I need to get away from it! I'm pretty skeptical on who I accept adds from on MySpace... but I mainly use it for new local bands!!

i had one and deleted it a year ago and i dont miss it at all. People assume that my boyfriend made me delete it because i talked to other guys on it... BS! stay out of my life and out of my buisness!DONT BE SPREADING RUMORS! QUIT MAKING ME THE CENTER OF ATTENTION! JUST SHUTUP!

what happend to the rest of my comment?

I barely log in. I have a few people I talk to, but I am, and always will be, an in person sorta gal.

I won't use Facebook b/c of the whole Beacon fiasco...resolved or not.

I just like decorating my profile page a lot, so that's probably why I keep it. LOL. :} It's just something to kill a few minutes or so, but not an important part of my life. I used it more when I first joined, but that's only interesting for a limited time. I just don't think anyone cares what song I am liking and I don't blog...except for movie or book reviews.

I got rid of my MySpace account because I started using Facebook a lot more. I've made my account unsearchable on Facebook, so I add the friends I want. I don't want to be found really.

I've never bothered with myspace or facebook. I just don't see the point. If I need to talk to my friends I'll call them. I also don't feel the need to reconnect with old friends. If I don't talk to them anymore, there is probably a reason for it.

The only time I've thought about deleting all my profiles is when I go log onto Mydeathspace.com and see people's profiles who have died accidentally.

It's somewhat eerie to think that if you die, your profile remains frozen in time like that.

I deleted my MySpace account last year after my Ex kept messaging me even though my profile was "private" he could still contact me and it bugged me. So I deleted it! I've kept in touch with the people I really wanted to reconnect with from High School. I was able to clear 2 years of not talking to my ex-bestfriend though MySpace. We're friends again so I can't totally dis MySpace but I'm over it.
