bebo

mysp-ce’s biggest rival. currently very popular amongst college students in ireland for some strange reason.
omg a bebo whiteboard! let’s a draw a d-ck on it!
rival to mysp-ce. not the emo and i-have-8888078-friends-haven that mysp-ce is, but more of a rival to mysp-ce now than before. very popular- but could it eventually dip to mysp-ces level? known to be popular in ireland.
look bebo up yourself… i cant think of an example.
a site a bit like mysp-ce but different. u can comment, do blogs, have a flash (a sort of video), upload pictures, you can draw pictures on other peoples pages (whiteboard), do polls, and have a blog. u can decorate your page with a skin
lisa:do my polls on bebo
sam:add me on bebo
like mysp-ce, but slightly easier to use (for those of us who are terrible when it comes to computers).
may have already dipped to mysp-ce levels for it’s overabundance of scenesters (who all preach about how they are individual and not fake), but the chavs are putting up a good fight on their part, i must admit.

aside from the usual, they have an authors page where anyone can submit writing they have done. most of it is terrible with no plot and poor grammar (like quizilla), but few are actually really good standard.
you can also make your own quizzes or polls, which for me is hilarious, and you can create widgets. they’re like flash pictures which can be edited and wh-r-d up with stars and glitter. like photoshop.

everybody is also free to create their own band pages, even if it’s not of a real band. you can find band pages for popular cartoons, towns, characters (mr. krabs for instance), vampire obsessives (which i’m a fan of), horror movies, tim burton, my chemical romance or…beauty bands. yup.

the two main types are the chav/trendy/prep beauty pages, and scene/trashychic/”imperfect” beauty pages.
the trendy pages usually consist of pouting blondes, the photos taken in low level lighting and usually in the latest gear from new look, select or dorothy perkins. or bikinis/underwear, foundation. sometimes taken in the bathroom, which cracks me up a little.
the scene pages prattle on about they will accept everybody, because “everyone is beautiful in their own way”, though they sometimes have “guidlines” such as:
– individual
– have amazing, unique hair
– cool poses
– not fake
– no posers please! we want real beauty
but most of the photos tend to be scene wh-r-s in garish make-up, hair that looked like it got attacked by a hair-dye-wielding electric toaster in the bath, h-llo kitty, clips/bows, mind boggling angles, the photos taken in low level lighting and usually in the latest gear from hot topic or some undergound alternative shop. or underwear, foundation. nearly always taken in the bathroom, which cracks me up a lot, especially when you spy a funny patterned towel or loo roll in the background.
all the “fans” of that band page would then proceed to gush over how hawt or shmexxy their hair/makeup/clothes/belt is while the oc-ssional sane person tells them that they are all in fact fake, attention-seeking losers. the scenesters then turn on the poor soul and batter them. not physically of course. they wouldn’t want to ruin their make-up.

bebo is a lot like evesham, where i live. it may be a cesspit, but i do love it. it’s got a certain charm.

i myself have a bebo. my page consists of video clips (family guy is very popular), music, photos and band pages which i am a fan of. my friends list consists of people from school, college, and those i met online. there is a page for my old highschool, which i am not a member of because my schooldays were sh-te and my screen name is a line i got from qi.
a website similar to mysp-ce.com where you can create a profile and basically sell yourself to random people on the internet who will add you because you have good photos or because you claim to be a vegetarian longer than other people.

bebo is usually used by people who
a) people who do not understand mysp-ce/find it too complicated.
b) people who are yet to discover mysp-ce.
girl: do you have bebo?
boy: bebo!? mysp-ce is so much better.
girl: likewoah! mysp-ce is just too confusing, all those codes!?
boy: urgh. bebo is just the chavier version of mysp-ce.
girl: urgh. mysp-ce is just the more hardcore version of bebo.
-make-out-
mysp-ce wannabe. popular in ireland and uk. a big percent members of teens, teens that like to be cool and adults that like to be in the teen’s community. the most catchy thing in bebo is where people do a conversation over the “comments section” instead using of the private message (idiots). using the “comments section” as a list of things to do; stalker magnet; this is the place where “x” is overly used.

see “mysp-ce” definition for more info, and “comment” definition if you’re still confused the difference of “comment” in “private message”.
