Bebo

Bebo
This site was probably more uncomfortable for me than any of the others, because it is truly a social networking site.

The format is much like that of Myspace, Friendster, and Facebook. It's a site where you set up a profile page, which tells about you, has pictures and info about you, and you can even "decorate" your layout.

You can add widgets & applications, take quizzes, join groups, etc. Once you add your friends, (and they accept you) you can comment on their pages, and send them personal messages.

You are able to search their databse for people who are in your contact list of your current email. But once again, most of my friends - like me - are very un-technologically-social.

The main focus of Bebo, other than connecting with friends, seems to be music, videos, and music videos. None of these are things that I personally enjoy viewing, or searching through online, and being that the majority of Bebo members were a decade younger than I, this site felt purely awkward.

All in all, if you're a young music and video lover, and have a lot of friends online, you'll probably love Bebo. If you're old and dull like me; steer clear. I do have an account, and if you sign up, feel free to befriend me, as I'm feeling quite lonely and friendless. Just search All Surreal, or click here.

Life is All Surreal.
