Of course! :D

I'm one of those million + people who watch kids absoultely play a killer guitar. It's so amazing to me that kids can sit in their bedrooms and play guitar like any pro (maybe better!).

I also like to watch other videos, but the guitar players are my faves on youtube.

No I don't do myspace.

I refuse to conform to the Myspace cult; but, I am a Youtube wench. I've recently upgraded my DSL to 6MB/s, so I'm constantly on Youtube now~

I use youtube a lot - and there's a lot of sitting around due to my crappy DSL, that is slower than EDGE on iPhone.

I occasionally use a MySpace page to keep in touch with some friends, but in general I find the MySpace culture nauseating. I only go to YouTube if I have a link to a video - I certainly don't browse it looking for stuff.

Eh, yeah....the concept of Myspace is ok. If it was just a method of keeping in touch with friends....I have no problem. But I've seen way too many kids become addicted to it like a drug. This one girl began to cry at school because she couldn't check her Myspace (Good grief, we only went to school 4 hours a day...)

I hate myspace, and love Virb, but I have to keep going back to Myspace just because that's where my network is. They need to smell the roses and get out of there. And, about YouTube, I use it probably everyday.

That's an interesting comment. Do you think you see "the world" through YouTube?

You misunderstand. I love the world now because I get to live with Youtube, Facebook, cellphones, etc.

I like YouTube for rare music and guitar stuff. It's good for news stories that you may have missed. I don't like it for the soapbox, agenda-pushing rubbish that it's often innundated with. All of the conspiracy theory garbage is a little overwhelming. Knowing people use it to "get informed" can be a little unnerving.

MySpace makes me want to throw up. In the past, I've browsed around looking for some old friends. Most of the time I'm disappointed to find out that they have developed an unhealthy fondness for alcohol... and not much else.

I don't care to be in contact with people, so I don't have much use for it. :)

I also like youtube alot, especially since I got my iphone, it has alot of entertaining stuff..

I agree Myspace makes me sick, especially with all of the spyware it loads in your PC lucky I have a Mac and I dont go anywhere near that site... and lets not forget the child molestor's easy prey of innocent kids...

Myspace should be **** down, its not worth all of those problems

Agreed. It's not exactly a cross-section of society or anything.

Agreed here as well. I have a page I use to keep in touch with about four friends who are in the US, but in general Myspace is just for people to parade their egos around.

Hah. I agree with this pretty much, too!

Well considering the Australian Prime Minister did a speech exclusively for youtube seems that that place might be the future of news even. But for me I still prefer myspace. I like it. I don't go on there as much as I used to though. But that doesn't bother me all that much.
