bebo

[Stephanie]

your opinion on it?

[Callum]

Load of ****.

[Stu]

It's a pile of wank. It's for chavs, basically. And everything Patrick said about it in that last thread is made **** of by reputable statistics out there.

[Jords]

I loved it a year back before I met good old Mr facebook, now I realise how crap it is :tongue:

[Stephanie]

i used to be obsessed like a year ago pmsl

i (L) facebook now

[Dr.Gonzo]

Arsewash.

[Stu]

Usually people just use it because it's what all their other mates use, like in Ireland where nobody under eighteen really uses anything else much apart from bebo. Further cementing it's status as a chavtastic piece of ****.

[lily.]

It's for kids to be honest. My daughter has it, because her mates have it, but even she doesn't like it.

[Firewire]

I use it cos my friends do.

I'm not obsessed with it.

And it's quite ****.

[Patrick]

Expect the following post to be the only positive post on this thread because the majority of TiBB Use Facebook:

Bebo is a great site, and like I said in another thread it was once used by 20 and 30 year olds.

Nowadays its used by Teens because the older crowd have went to Facebook.
Personally I think its good because there only is 2 social sites in the UK.
Thats Facebook and Bebo.

Facebook is to boring and complicated and you can tell its more for old people.
Bebo has alot more features, and it has a better layout.
They went through a phase earlier this year where they tried copying Facebook, but thankfully it listened to its users and is back to the way people liked it.

Bebo is a great way of making friends, keeping in contact and expressing your opinions on things and sharing your intrests through making your on profile.


I have been a member on it for 3 years and its still going strong as a site.


Like I said though, dont expect anyone else on here to like Bebo because they think its chavy when its not.

[Firewire]

You have a daughter :O?

You never said before.

Its not for chavs.
If you look at how it use to be it was far from chavtastic.

But now there is a few chavs on it, which is annoying but tbh the majority of its users arent chavs and are just on it to keep in contact with their mates.

Chavs usually add me a few times but I just decline them.
So seriously, not the entire site is full of chavs.

[Jessica.]

its good
i make skinz
mine (http://www.bebo.com/SkinOwnerRedirect.jsp?SkinId=8953252740)

[Stu]

Plenty of young people use Facebook. Seriously, you haven't got a clue. Your just pulling poor assumptions out of your ass, Patrick.

[Beastie]

I have not logged into my bebo account in months.

[Jack_]

It was good back in the days of 2006/2007 and before, but after they added apps it started to go downhill. The new features got worse and worse, and then they started to copy Facebook when it was becoming increasingly more popular. They changed the profile layout, the members told them it was shite, they didn't listen, and so the majority of them left. Served them right.

I checked today and it seems the old profile layout is back, but it's far too late now. Bebo has had its day and will soon become a thing of the past.

[Beastie]

I have 2 cousins who are aged 12 and 14 who have facebook!

[Stephanie]

everyone i know has facebook, and i have over 400 friends on there (yes i know them all)

Exactly. Bebo may be easier to use, but twats covered their pages in endless photo albums, themes and apps to the point where most Bebo pages were simply impossible to navigate without the guidance of a bottle of scotch and four valium.

[Beastie]

To be honest I don't go on facebook much either, the last time I went on I just wanted to check if someone, who was in the same school year as me as had their baby yet.. lol how sad am I?

Not many use Apps anymore, like I said it tried to copy Facebook but failed.
Apps arent used that much on it though, and tbf it wont be a thing of the past aslong as people still use it.

Like I said Facebook and Bebo are the only two social sites in the UK.

What person uses Myspace if there not from America or if there not a singer.

Twitter is used by Celebrities thats it.

Facebook is still so boring and plain compared to Bebos layout.

[Tom4784]

Oh Patrick don't you remember what I told you about issuing your assumptions as fact? Facebook has a lot more features then Bebo and is probably used by more teens then Bebo is. Bebo is a site for chavvy kids they outnumber any adults using it by probably a large amount, it's unsophisticated and it's got nowhere near the amount of features facebook has.

[Jack_]

And that's exactly why it got worse. I couldn't stand, and avoided any page that was full of apps telling them 'How Good R U In Bed?'. It would take you half an hour just to find the Comments box. :bawling:

[Stu]

Nobody outside America uses MySpace?

Oh dear.

[Patrick]

1. Saying FB is used by more teens than Bebo, is such a lie.
Because its not, and most teens join Facebook and then dont bother with it anymore.
I use Bebo and Facebook and its quite easy to know FB is used by people over 30.

2. If you actually used Bebo you would know its not for Chavs.

3. FB Doesnt have more features than Bebo, just because FB is packed with Apps doesnt make a diffrence.
Bebo profiles have alot more stuff on them that would keep you on the site for more than 10 minutes.

[Billy]

No it isn't.

There are chavs on bebo yah, but you'll find just as many on facebook etc.

On topic it's alright, its easier to work than facebook IMO.

[Stacey.]

i dont think its as good as facebook,lmao :)

[Jords]

I have facebook, myspace and bebo.

Facebook is by far the best,
I was addicted to bebo before I knew about facebook, and since all my friends had it, but no longer go on it, and well myspace is crap and Ive hardly been on it.

[Patrick]

Nobody outside America uses MySpace?

Oh dear.

Unless their a Music Artist or trying to launch a Music Career.
Dont even try arguing with that becuase its a fact.


If you walked down the street now and asked a Teen if they used Bebo they would say yes, if you asked a Adult if they used Facebook, they would say yes.

If you asked anyone if they used Myspace they would say no and look at you like you have 3 heads.

The majority of people in the UK who dont use computers that much, havent heard of Myspace.
I dont even know if Myspace is still as popular as it use to be in America.

I know they're not anymore, but they were, and the members told them yet again to get rid of it, and they just completely refused to listen. Oh, and then they got taken over by AOL and then it went down the shitter even more. Facebook will become a thing of the past in a few years time, everything does. Something new and innovative will come along, and bam, people forget about the previous craze and move on.

Facebook has far more better features than Bebo. It takes some getting used to at first but once you're into it you can't get enough. I remember I couldn't get enough of Bebo in its old days, and it's like that with Facebook now.

LOL at how you tell Patrick not to issue assumptions by fact, and then go on to say "bebo is a site for chavvy kids", when that's an assumption..

It's an assumption that unlike Patrick's has more chance of being right though.

Also I never presented that part as fact like Patrick tends to.

[lily.]

You have a daughter :O?

You never said before.


I have a daughter and a son. And, I've said it loads of times lol

[Jack_]

The only plus feature Bebo has to Facebook is Skins, but then they changed the profile layout and again, that completely went down the shitter.

Alright fair enough..
But btw, The Staff at Bebo recently changed alot of things due to its users asking for things back or things took off.

Just 2 weeks ago, they changed the Profiles back to the old ones after months of people asking for it.
So they have begun to listen.

I think FB would of been better if they used Profiles, instead of those ugly pages with a Wall and Pictures and Info.

Bebos features are easier to find IMO.

Millions of people in Europe use MySpace. Millions.

You really have no ****ing idea whatsoever. Your views on this topic are so warped it's incredible. Bebo for the young, Facebook for the old, MySpace for the Americans.

I'm sorry but it's not that simple. Your full of ****.

I realise they've started to change things back, I checked this morning, but it's far too late now. People threatened to leave, and by the looks of things, they did. Yes there are lots of people still remaining but on the whole many have left. If they'd had changed it back the day after when people had asked them to it might've had some hope.

But I'll give you that, Bebo's features are easier.

It's not as simple either to say Bebo for the chavs, Facebook for people who aren't chavs, which you've said in here..

[Stu]

LOL at how you tell Patrick not to issue assumptions by fact, and then go on to say "bebo is a site for chavvy kids", when that's an assumption..
It's not an assumption, just a comment on one of Bebo's most distinguishable features. Of course not everybody on Bebo is a chav, but it's known for chavs, like it or not. We would not be bringing it up otherwise unless there was a general consensus on the matter, would we?

[lily.]

I love myspace. I'm not american. I hate facebook. I am old.

W/e
But you know for a fact Myspace is the least popular out of the 3 in the UK.
Even if Bebo isnt used as much anymore (as jack said) its still more well knowen than Myspace.
In the UK, not incuding the whole of Europe.

I never said Facebook was for people who are not chavs. Facebook is tearing with chavs. Read things over properly before you comment on them.

Of course I do. Congratulations on simply offering up a 'W/E' and backtracking on your original argument, though.

MySpace is only used by Americans and artists.

Holy ****, like.

-is not American-

-is not an artist (unless piss-artist counts)-

I couldn't say for a fact but I'd imagine Myspace is more popular then Bebo, Most people I know look at Bebo as a bit of a joke and pretty much everyone I know went from Bebo to Myspace to Facebook in that order. It might not be the same for everyone but at least what I know I'd say that Bebo is the least popular at least here.

[Jack_]

Everyone I know went from Bebo to Facebook. I was pretty much the first on Facebook and then two months later everyone else was on it.

I've seen the odd MySpace profile from people I know but on the whole I've never heard of anyone mention it. I've tried it myself, and can't get used to it.

Bit shocked at that tbh but thats intresting.

With people I know it went from..
Myspace > Facebook > Bebo > Facebook lol

But like I said not many used Myspace to begin with, but just the sum of people that I know that did.

[Patrick]

No offence, but are you not lonely on Myspace?
Or do your British Friends use it?
Or do you chat to Americans?

I was pretty much the first too, except a few, who invited me to play YoVille, a facebook app, but I needed to sign up for ir first, and about a month later, I ditched Bebo completely for facebook and was basically watching all my other friends slowly join up to facebook. :hugesmile:

To be fair you're younger though, you and you're friends might not have used networking sites as much when Myspace was the main one so that's probably why it's different.

[Stephanie]

for us it went

bebo > myspace/bebo > facebook

[lily.]

LoL@lonely..

No, I have friends from all over the world on it... There are a fair amount of Scottish people on it.. :)

That's a fair point. I've been on myspace since 2001... Patrick - for example - would have been 6 years old then.

So, the results are going to vary a lot depending on how long you have been using social networking..

[danda012]

Bebo USED to be quite good back when it turned started out but nowadays it just sucks. It's basically a weaker version of Facebook now.

[Patrick]

If you seen it now you wouldnt be saying its like Facebook.
They changed their ways back to the old days.

Not many use those **** Apps anymore either.
