Well, the ways these sites are used are a bit silly to me. But I find it handy to be able to keep in touch with people from high school without actually having to talk to them. And because everyone and their grandma has MySpace, it's really easy to find people, even if you haven't spoken to them in years. It's also useful for sending out invitations or for making plans with people. Perhaps I like this because I'm a bit of a night owl, so it allows me to ask someone a question or tell them something at ridiculous hours of the night (like right now) without having to worry about waking them up and without having to worry about me forgetting it. Under all of the glitz, glamour, top friends, and teenie boppers...it actually has its practical uses.
