Social Networking Sites vs Forums

Gigacore · 17-02-2008, 04:44 PM

The title says everything.

My Opinion:

Social Netwoking Sites

> Sucks.
> There is nothing other than making friends.
> Waste of time, you cant learn anything.
> Wont get chance to show off ur skills.

Forums (BB)

> We can learn and make as well as friends.
> Get our problems solved.
> Can show off your skills and creativity.
> Fun

Verdict: Forums Rocks!

@gigacore, i completely agree with you

Forumming rocks

ThinkFree · 17-02-2008, 04:57 PM

No fight at all- Social networking is just about wasting time while you learn a lot visiting forums

nvidia · 17-02-2008, 05:12 PM

Social networking SUCKS.
Its for all the dumb people who want to waste time. If somebody wants to chat, then why dont they use some Instant messengers like yahoo or gtalk?

Forums ROCK.
Im addicted to digit forum

victor_rambo · 17-02-2008, 05:28 PM

Its just depends upon on how you use the both.
If you use social networks for networking, it rocks.
If you spend most of the time in chit chat section of a forum, it won't help any.

So stop blaming social networking sites and forums if they can't do something you want. Blame yourself and do something that would help your purpose.

Social networking sites likes Orkut is very useful to get in touch with friends. I got most of my class 7 classmates back due to Orkut! I can't imagine this happening in a forum.

In Forums like this one, most of us doesn't know eachother. It's the matter in context that is important not the man behind it...

Hence both can't be compared.

Zeeshan Quireshi · 17-02-2008, 07:29 PM

The only thing i've ever used Orkut for is Finding old friends .

Forums for everything else .

praka123 · 17-02-2008, 07:39 PM

orkut profile is there.but not keen on searching and finding friends.but indeed it is helpful to find old friends and classmates.

I feel best @ forums and esp as Anon

but my www privacy was long gone

forums anyway offers better learning experience.but there are forums for movie buffs etc where I found I cant stay for few seconds

The Outsider · 17-02-2008, 11:38 PM

different subjects with different outputs and different userbases, why compare?

My Opinion:

Social Netwoking Sites

> Gud to find old friends.
> Some Communities are gud... Like I found loads of Info on JNU entrance using Orkut communities.

Forums (BB)

> We can learn and make as well as friends <<-- 1000% agrees.. I made best friends here.
> Great place to learn.
> Learn while you teach... Learn and show same people.. Nobody is teacher nobody student.
> Neverending Fun...

and i'd like to add-
Forums are better moderated so they have a control (we saw that just yesterday

) unlike SN websites with lots of p0rn0 communities.

TRUE

well if ud hav started this at any SN site the poll would have results
0% forums
100% SN

nish_higher · 20-02-2008, 07:36 PM

thats obvious bcoz forum ppl understand social networking in a better way

at least in this forum.
ppl on SN would love to just post sh1t(=referrals,p1rn,etc..) and all that so they'd really like it that way

If the same questions would have been posted on a social networking site, the poll results would have been opposite.(Foruming would have got a only handful of votes).

That aside,i too vote for forum.
Forum = Social networking+Learning+All other things.

Social networking = Waste of time + Some short lived fun

Gigacore · 09-03-2008, 01:24 PM

^ yes, true!

In fact most of the people who are addicted to social networking sites doesn't know what forums are for. . .

Yes,forum is alien word on social networking sites.
Once i searched for "Forum" in orkut & i got only a single community dedicated to foruming,that to with only 10 members.

Also orkut forums are never visited by anyone,except some regular guys.
Most of them are filled with illegal & warez links.

So Forums wins.
