    re: Guardian commentary -- you have to bear in mind that for *most* journalists over here, the first two things they heard about MySpace were (1) despite their never having heard about it, it was nonetheless a HUGE success (like discovering an elephant in your fridge) among a younger audience, and (2) Murdoch had bought parent co. for USD 0.5bn

    With reference to the first point; journalists like to discover and nurture stories (then attack them when they're at their zenith). Which is fair enough, really. Finding out that the story has been going on without you must be rather disheartening.

    With reference to the second, Murdoch is a bit of a popular villain here in the UK, particularly among the liberal left. Any opportunity to attack is welcomed.

    None of the above detracts from what you say about Bebo and its success, of course.
  • michaela · 3 years ago
    heyyyy youuuu!!! bebooo is amazin, all of mates ave got it so i prefer it to my space! yeh y is bebo blocked by school servers...?? cyaa *KaLa*
  • april · 3 years ago
    can you tell me how to be a member of bebo.
  • tOMMY · 3 years ago
    i THINK The story of Bebo catching MySpace was made up by Bebo's PR people.

    The May ComScore numbers for the UK came out this week. They showed MySpace increased its unique users at twice the rate that Bebo did. There is a good report that Nielsen Net Ratings did last month - it actually shows that Bebo was much bigger than MySpace in the UK a year ago - MySpace came from behind and is now well in the lead.

    Go MySpace!

  • Taneshia Callegari · 3 years ago
    i'm on both bebo and myspace and bebo is easier and funnier. Myspace is far to complicated y page is still blank while in bebo me and my friends are connecting much faster and it's far more enjoyable. Even though they use the same concept and same audience.
  • Sian. · 3 years ago
    I'm a member of myspace and bebo. I think myspace is really cool but bebo is more popular. They're both really similar though. They should join together to make mybebospace, lol.
  • daniel smith · 3 years ago

  • nicole · 3 years ago
    you can tell that bebo is going to be a good wed site to go to.
  • Sarah · 3 years ago
    The reason so many people like bebo better than myspace is because they're all dumbasses.
    Myspace is for people who know how to use their brain :]
    It's way better.
  • Bethany · 3 years ago
    OMG You can shut up Sarah you put that on the 9th of July 2006! You are obviously a dumbass yourself because, if you're calling people who use bebo dumbasses, then you are a dumbass for using it yourself in the first place idiot. And if you haven't used bebo then you shouldn't judge it - myspace may be better and you may have more freedom to do what you want however, I think bebo isn't that bad and you shouldn't dis it even if it is worse than myspace - just 'cause it's worse doesn't mean that it is bad. Luv ya xXx
    Bebo and myspace rox!
  • austinclendon · 2 months ago
    <you no bebo is the best>
  • lorna · 3 years ago
    bebo iz ace and i would recamend gettin it
  • Mike C · 3 years ago
    But what the hell is the point of Bebo. They don't even seem to know themselves. Read the help - why you should join Bebo. "Coz U should coz it's great." Social networking sites are inhabited by 98% 12-year-olds and 2% stalkers. Why the hell do I want a whiteboard that other people can use? Sorry, I'm too busy having a life right now. If I run out of real-life things to do and real-life people to do them with - i.e. FRIENDS. Then maybe I will mentaly regress and sign up to Bebo.
  • marshay · 3 years ago

  • Lamb hot pot · 3 years ago
    whatever really..bebo is ok, but its bassically something for slones. #people of the streets use myspace. its hardcore, explicit and generally a land for the people who have something good to say. If bebo was tat great, then why do some of the best bands in the uk at this moment in time have mysapce accounts. If tony blair knew how to use a computer;he would definitely have bebo. It just goes to show how loserish bebo really is.Thankyou for listeing
  • Cierra · 3 years ago
    Hey what's up I'm a bebo fan. It's way better than myspace it's easier add friends and set up ur homepage. U can also meet people from different schools,cities, and countries. Da only question is why do they have it blocked at school.
  • Ramy · 3 years ago
    hey how come bebo aint lettin me in
  • Shan · 3 years ago
    Something is going on with bebo, the page isn't coming up, it's going to something annoying called instafinder.. It was working when I signed in last night, does anyone know what's going on???
  • Pete Cashmore · 3 years ago
    Shan,

    Instafinder is adware. Google it and you should find removal instructions.

  • ross cutting · 3 years ago
    i love bebo its tottaly cool
  • Mr Bluetooth Headset · 3 years ago
    Kids, your teachers are smart people. You should know this.

    Now the reason you cannot access bebo in school is because they know you'll try and log on instead of concentrating on your lesson. So they installed this thing called parental control to block certain sites. Including bebo - gutted :(

    I suppose you'll just have to learn instead. Start by learning to type in english and not in "txt" language.
  • Isabel · 3 years ago
    go bebo it rules
  • kellie · 3 years ago
    bebo is blocked at our school can u help us get it unblocked please
  • Cara-Louise · 3 years ago
    bebo is to restrictive.. MYSPACE all the way!!!!
  • fi · 3 years ago
    =.0; for all u n00bs out there, bebo is blocked from school servers because bebo is nto a site to look for information or obtain anything. the school doesnt want us to hang around on these sites. a waste of time to them. a fantasy to us
  • fi · 3 years ago
    and no, it cant be blocked by YOU. only the admin can. unless u hack into their system
  • Barnicals · 3 years ago
    I'v got to say, I don't really see the point in these community sites... I mean, it can be useful to keep in touch with mates, sure, but isn't that what msn/email is for? The only reason I have an iota of interest in it is because I need some way to waste my time.
  • EFA!! · 3 years ago
    you can access bebo on a blocked comp by going to google and typin in proxy.. then click on the result which should be proxy server and into that type bebo! this should override any blockage your school or work put on your space! Adios Amigos..
  • diamond turney · 3 years ago
    why isnt myspace working.
  • Santa Claus · 3 years ago
    bebo is probably blocked because it is a site you can make at home so it could contain explicit material, therefore school block it!! gutting!!
  • miss bubbly · 3 years ago
    i think bebo is great!! i love it!!
  • will Cooper · 3 years ago
    Bebo is blocked at skool as well!!!!
  • Subbteo Pitch Invasion · 3 years ago
    Er, am i missing something here? you all want bebo unblocked at school so you can talk to your mates, em, isn't that what the playgrounds for??? why don't you go to their houses, talk to them on the phone, play sports. Learn to communicate and interact with them face to face. In the long run it will help cut teenage obesity, social reclusiveness and teenage suicide, and with any luck stop the decline in spoken and written english and the rise of unnecessary 'txt speak'.
  • edieser · 3 years ago
    I like bebo better the myspace.......
  • lil-emzie · 3 years ago
    I prefer bebo, it's way better.
    and it's probaly blocked at all your schools because ur meant to be doing work?!? that's what you go to school for!!
    our college has blocked it as well but nevermind :P
  • Me · 3 years ago
    hi um you should make a link so that we can get on to bebo even though our school blocked it.
  • brent whiskie · 3 years ago
    i am a member of both but i say myspace is a lot better u just have to know what u r doing to be a member there r actually more options than be bo has such as creating your own homepage and adding your own back ground and colors you can also place any http addresses directly on your page such ass music vedios ad banners plus theres more that i dont even know
  • K9 · 3 years ago
    bebo is wicked, myspace is alright, tagworld i haven't really got into, youtube is awsome, Flickr is alright, bingbox has a lot of weardos on it and piczo is alright but people put alot of junk on it.

    If you want to get onto a site that is blocked search anonymizer in google and go from there.
  • george brruce · 3 years ago
    i agree that bebo is much more user freindly and that my space is much more DIY but because bebo is easier to us more people become members and can do the main part easier which is talking with freinds
  • niminydodah · 3 years ago
