You're thinking of MySpace

You, sir, are a genius. I should do that.
The Facebook site itself sucks. It's so loving slow. I can't have any other windows or tabs open because it slows down my entire PC.
EDIT; I, too, only add people I know in real life.

Don't forget that when it first started it was based off of an invite only basis. SO it only grew the more people wanted to network with friends.

I have one, but only for friends IRL. Random people on the internet don't need to know what I'm doing without doing some work to somehow bypass privacy settings first.
