myspace etiquette

Ok, I have a myspace account. I actually started it to get some cash in a focus group and I'm rarely on the site. In fact, the only time I get on the site is when I get an email that someone wants to add me as their friend. At times it's been cool hearing from people I'd lost contact with. At other times, however, there was a reason I lost contact - because I didn't care to socialize with a particular person and hearing from them was kind of a drag.

Anyhow, I think it's odd when someone you haven't seen or talked to in years asks you to add them to your "friends" list but doesn't send you a message. Is it then my social obligation to send a message? I kind of view this like the person who calls and has nothing at all to say but expects you to carry the conversation. If you initiate contact, it's your job to start the socializing, right? Anyone else agree or am I crazy? (I know I'm neurotic, but crazy, too?)
 
Ya know, sometimes I get the same feeling. But at the same time, if you ever have something random to talk/ reminisce about you know you can get a hold of them easily.
 
I, personally, cannot stand myspace... yet, I have an account there. I never check it, and when I get an email saying someone wants to be my friend, I have my wife go in and add them. I also gave my password to a close friend of mine so that he can go in and add whatever he wants to my profile page. It's actually quite funny. Now, a bunch of people correspond with me via myspace, but they're actually communicating with a buddy of mine. That's funny to me. I'm not sure why, but I guess I'm quirky like that.
 
If someone wants to add you as a friend add them, or don't. If they want to chat, chat with them, or don't. No big deal. No problem. No guilt. No pressure.

Welcome to the internet.

I have a myspace, but I reallly never use it... I log on every other day to see if I've got messages, but that's about it... and I use it to post bulletins about movie stuff.
 
I've got a myspace as well. I pretty much have it for fun. It's good to keep in touch with some people, but I don't take it seriously. Does anyone have Face Book?

My girlfriend has Face Book, she's always giving me hard time because I can't join...eh
 
I'm enrolled a local community college, but I don't know what my email there is, nor care. She likes it being exclusive for her, and I let her, I guess...:)
