Stupid Bebo Crap

    Bebo is the bomb, its basically myspace without the ugly goths and the embedded browser crashing videos. Nobody adds randomers either, its really cool being able to see who your friends are friends with and who their friends are friends with etc. Get to see all kind of random connections. Plus photos and drawing random abusive drawings on whiteboard.

    Thats what puts me off joining bebo, would rather not have people knowing who I know.

    ok wel i just signed up to bebo cus dats what my mates use but i gotta say comparing it to myspace.com is like comparing a campfire to a microwave or a phone box to a mobile! its stuck in middle ages!
    you cant personalise it or put your music or videos up - unless i just cant do it? and those bloody emails get sent to me all the bloody time by my friends!
    anyone agree?

    Chain emails are the work of Satan himself, they clog up your inbox, and they are about as useful as cold vegetable soup. I got one about a clown who goes around turning off lights and pretending to be a statue etc for babysitters. Apparently if you don't forward them on the clown will come after YOU! yes YOU!
    People, presumably believing this is gospel truth, systematically forward each chain mail they receive to avoid the various curses that may be put on them. Who are these nonces who believe that their crush will ask them out in 53 minutes if they forward their email to over 786 people in 15 minutes???

    Sorry you are wrong, bebo is useless. You can't actually do anything with it except comments and it hardly connects friends as you see most of your contacts everyday anyway and the other ones you don't want to see.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 2,335 ✭✭✭rugbug86


    it connects me to my friends who i dont get to see very often...

    yeah, but how can you really do anything you couldn't do already. You could have sent them an e mail or chatted on msn so why's bebo so different?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,836 ✭✭✭Vokes


    I find it pretty useful - have a couple of friends travelling around the world for a year. They use it to upload their photos, log their travel stories, etc.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 1 mighty meath


    I subscribed to Bebo ages ago and was only reminded of it when a friend asked me to join. Now I use it all the time. I was in the states for the summer and could keep everyone up to date with pictures. Now I use it to keep in touch with all the people I met there.

    Haven't had any real spam problems. The only problem I have now is trying to get any work done!


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 1,648 ✭✭✭dundalk cailin

    I started getting into in the last few days.Never really realised what you could do on it;just left my contact details on it like last March and never went near it.
    But saw the other day that mates from Secondary school have pictures up and quizzes et cetera.The quizzes are a bit of craic to break up the day in work :)


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 4,124 ✭✭✭Jonny Arson


    The amount of people I've overheard chatting about BEBO this week has been quite scary! :eek:

    I'd definitely prefer BEBO to MySpace even though the novelty of it wears off after a couple of months. Lots more amusing features on it than MySpace but the good thing about MySpace is that you can design your page yourself where I don't think you can do that on BEBO (unless I'm wrong)


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 12,211 ✭✭✭✭Sangre


    My page now consists of a flash of me hammered lolololol!!


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 771 ✭✭✭spiderlegs


    Ah bebo's fun! I like it alright. I'm probably wrong but to me myspace seems far more full of posers!!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 8,326 ✭✭✭Zapp Brannigan


    My mates got me onto Bebo, though I have barely any friends compared to em :(
    Damn....

    Hey. Sorry to go off-topic here but has anyone else noticed how it's gotten a bit warmer over the last couple of days.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,958 ✭✭✭Chad ghostal


    i did, but lately the wind's been a nit nippy.. have you not noticed?..
    i've been hoping to get out more, i'm planning a trip downstairs for christmas, so hopefully by this next year, i'll be out the front door (possibly clothed, if i can remember) and will be able to tell you what the wind looks like in my area

    Bloody awful weather last night. Sounded like a freakin' storm! Doens't seem too bad this morning though.

    Really? Crazy. I had a dream that all these mad little tornados were tearing my back garden apart!


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 31,967 ✭✭✭✭Sarky


    I had a dream I was playing Ace Of Spades in a live band, and I messed up because my guitar had five buttons in place of strings.

    I'm playing too much Guitar Hero.

    Or maybe not enough.

    oh dear lord.
    i checked out that bebo crap the other day. my cousin got a letter from the school with something about cyber bullying on bebo in it and was worried because her son uses it. i checked out his page and the pages of his friends and saw some of the most retarded crap i have ever seen.
    christ, it's worse that a yahoo chat room.
    as for the spelling on it. you have students talking about how they got an "A" in english. have standards dropped since i left school 15 years ago? 'r u gng to nmnmnm tngt?' what the fuck is that all about?

    obeb-y


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 382 ✭✭Trip Hazard


    Bebo is good only because there's so many people on it, I dont use it as one of those internet chats thing where you talk to random people from all over the world, I use it because so many of my actual friends are on it and its a great way to keep in touch with people. So i dont see a problem with it.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 31,967 ✭✭✭✭Sarky


    You mean, apart from the children who should be stabbed in the brain until they display something like spelling ability and/or common sense?

    Oh god, the amount of times I manged to post a whiteboard drawing to the wrong page by that....especially when they're online and they see it before you get a chance to delete it!

    Grr!! They should really sort that out..


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,016 ✭✭✭Blush_01


    It's a pretty good service considering it's free. The emails that it sends to the users are pretty annoying alright, I keep on getting one with "Ch-ch-changes" in the subject line and it puts the David Bowie song in my head every time I see it.

    *Great! The damn song's in my head now

    Mine too. Thanks for that.

    So... about putting that photo of you online... :p


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,256 ✭✭✭metaoblivia


    I've joined bebo recently:
    http://rainiedaze.bebo.com
    and it seems like fun, but I don't know anyone on there, really. And it seems like everyone on bebo wants to be friends with people they already know, so they're not looking to make new friends. All of my friends are myspacers. I like some of the options though, like the drawing board. It might be enough to keep me interested for a while.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 7,129 ✭✭✭Nightwish


    i recently joined bebo, to be "hip" and "cool"

    imo i think they'll wait til they have millions and millions of members that use their service so regularly and have built up really good homepages and friends lists... then start going on about all the work they do in maintaining the site etc etc and say that they have to introduce a small subscription fee of say oh maybe 2.99 starting off. people with so much effort gone into bebo wont want to lose access to the lot and will pay the fee and bebo get rich real quick.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 11,446 ✭✭✭✭amp


    Bebo is for retards.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 2 *Lil-Ro*


    I like bebo, but it's way too addictive! I like myspace better though, and it's starting to get more features on it now!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 11,446 ✭✭✭✭amp


    See?


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 1,838 ✭✭✭Doomspell


    It is not, I think its great:) I'm not one of those retards that go around posting on random peoples pages, I use it to keep in touch with my friends in Hong Kong, Singapore, Denmark, Ireland....wait no...well ya

    it's not random

    you have to be interesting


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 11,446 ✭✭✭✭amp


    I rest my case.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 1,838 ✭✭✭Doomspell


    Well you obviously don't have bebo or you have had it
    and now since you are a c.m you have to slag bebo and its users.

    No its not random I just meant people that I don't personally know....you on bebo?
