Plummeting Bebo Being Sold or Closed Down by AOL

The reason that Bebo is loosing many mambers to facebook is due to the fast that bebo doesnt support Zynga games, and the ones it does has crappy quality. Thats how they lost a lot of people that I know

dont close down bebo alot of people will be upset

bebo,s alot better than facebook my space twitter and the rest dont shut us down eh guys

do not close bebo, bebo is better than facebook!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1

yes AOL should re-invest in bebo , because bebo is more easier to work than facebook which is all confusing :S please re-invest in bebo AOL !

PLEASE STAY BEBO! FACEBOOK IS POOR! BEBO IS MORE SAFE FOR YOUNGER PEOPLE

bebp cant close down!! its my main source of advertising!!

Is there something wrong with you? Do you really think that bebo is losing even one person because they don't support Zynga games?
Any one that uses Bebo or Facebook for games shouldn't be allowed on them.

LOL! Bebo has been slowly dying loves facebook ALOT!

thats a lot of crap it wont close =DDD

Bebo has been dying for a long time. I myself use to never use anything but it; but after using Facebook for about a week; I noticed how much better Facebook is. Bebo was going die eventually; I myself only use it to leave luv till my girlfriend.

doooooooo NOT CLOSE down bebo please its gerat crac your losing it americands really you are leave bebo

i think that bebo should stay its faster and esier than facebook plus bebo is the only site a get to keeo in touch all my friends from nursery,school,high school and collage and keep in touch with ppl i hav stayed nxt 2 over the years, KEEP BEBO PLZ XX

keep bebo as its easier to use than facebook, there is still people who use bebo rather than facebook,

Pleasee dont cose bebo :(

Please dont close it down…Facebook isnt half as good as itt!!PLEASE REINVESTT!!!!!!!!!

they're all bent

I think its the time for bebo to go, i know many people wont agree but AOL hasn't changed anything there in a while now, it's gotten very boring and more + more people are loosing interest. AOL is up for much betta. Tough decision tho.
think about it ladz, there is no point of keepin it goin, facebook has the money now…

IT CANT CLOSE DOWN!!!

plz dnt close it down!!!!!!!!!!

well of course facebook gets more hits its more for adults, which have money for internet and laptops and shit, bebo is for young people which dont have a lot of money.
AOL should invest because these young people

Sorry to say but he is right. The reason most people use Facebook is because of the games it has to offer. As a networking site, bebo is far better but facebook has the brilliant games.

please dont close bebo its far better than face book closing bebo will upset a lot of people…please rethink what your doing

dont close bebo…….:(

FB sucks!
Boycot Facebook!

only go on bebo
start making LOADS of fake accounts saying your from the USA

I havn’t been on bebo for a log time as I prefer to use facebook for many reasons. The main one would be that it is more open. someone can post a coment and it will show up on your newsfeed, you can comment thust starting a conversation. It leats you connect with more people. On bebo you have to go on someones page to see what they are doing and to leave a comment. It’s almost impossible to have more than a two way conversation. I suppose when I used bebo I would have to wait untill someone was online then go on their page and post a comment, Facebook is just a lot less boring and you’ll end up talking to friends you havn’t really spoken to in a while.

Also when I was on bebo there were groups and pages but I don’t think there was anything near the amount of groups that facebook has.

The games on facebook are a plus. The whole working with and against your friends adds another aspect to facebook.

Designing your profile, badges, videos etc. Just felt like a waste of time. There was a constant need to pointlessly update videos and stuff whereas an facebook you can just post as many links as you want when you want. Oh and they don’t start playing the second you click on someones page which can be irritating.

The choosing top friends on Bebo really got to me aswell. I hate having to rank my friends and only be able to give “love” to a certain amount of people.

The whole bebo site is just designed to endorse popularity. Like how much love you got, how many people had you in their top freinds etc. It sounds stupid but I know a few of the girls in my year obsessed about things like that. Also there were several cases of fake profiles and bullying groups. People would set up a profile of someone and say horrible things about others causing huge arguements and bebo would never delete those.

Well thats my overly long reason about why I can’t stand bebo and I am sure some of them apply to other people . I would personally never go back to bebo.

Good riddance. As an AOL user I hated the fact I was forced to join some stupid site just to have an AOL profile.

bebos better than myspace anyway facebook has better games if it gose ill miss bebo

AOL should have faith in the Bebo product and invest in it .

facebook is better be coz you can private chat pure fast, an itz more open it brings people closer !!! bebo has its own perks like skins an bands

I’ve lost interest in bebo due to the fact that there are too many 10,11 year olds that become extremely irritating, perhaps it’s better that facebook is slightly more difficult to use as it keeps the younger kids away, as well as the fact that cyber bullying is most prominant on bebo.

Do not close down bebo !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Pleh. AOL ruined bebo anyway. Get rid of it, Facebook isn’t full of profiles filled with shitty apps.

DONT close down bebo its fuckin brill way better den facebook atleast you can do up ur page etc and stuff on bebo & plus my bebo i would not like my family too see half of the stuff ha…bebo great for young adults & teenagers KEEP BEBO!!!!!

DONT close down bebo its fuckin brill way better den facebook atleast you can do up ur page etc and stuff on bebo & plus my bebo i would not like my family too see half of the stuff ha…bebo great for young adults & teenagers KEEP BEBO!!!!!

I LUV BEBO facebook is shit compared 2 BEBO !!¬¬

i hate face book and favour bebo as i luv the bebo apps its young coulerful and quirky ,dont like that face book flags up comments u leave ur other friends! hate it. yes my friends all have face book but its bebo we all favour!

I think they should cut there losses by either selling it to a company who thinks they could turn it around (not likely) or just shut it down all together.

These certain social networking sites are becoming a thing of the past even myspace is loosing out.

Most of the people who want to keep Bebo open for business are under 15 years old and soon enough they will leave after realising all their friends have moved to Facebook, if they haven't yet they will!

The best bet they have is rebranding.

But this is all just my opinion.

i gave up on bebo after they changed the layout again, the new one really sucks.

Please don”t shut down bebo its alot better than any other internet social site around. i think its the best thing every been put on the internet and it keeps me ma busy maken skins all day so she aint annoying me ha..it wud be a real shame to see it go i dont think id ever go on my laptop again tbh..:( x

Its time for bebo to go no one takes it serious anymore plus ppl don't sign on like they use to so its time for it to go

PLEASE DONT DELETE BEBO ?! FACEBOOKS EVEN WORSE TO USE

Don't delete bebo please. It's waay better than other networks!
And it's got all my photo's and stuff please keep bebo !

Shanice

do not close down bebo its my only source of communication with relatives in usa

OH MY GAWD – pleassssssssssssse tellllll me this is a hoax – you cannot possibly close down this social network it is safer and easier to use for the kids @ least it can be monitored – think of all the people that will be inconvenienced. FRUSTRATING CMON AOL GET REAL

dont cloes bebo plz the other websites arent good

NO ONE KNOWS THE TRUE POWER BEHIND BEBO

DOWN WITH THE PENGUINS!

plzzz dont close down bebo!!!!!!!!!!!

They are right though. It is outdated and slow. Bebo has had it's tim, now it's time to go.

Facebook <3

PLEASE, don't shut down bebo. Thats so stupid! Honestly, if you delete bebo you'll make people lose contact with heaps of people. Just don't shut it down, please! :/

Personally, Bebo was a site for kids who were just coming into high school and wanting to look ‘cool’ by having 100odd mates on their friends list.

I remember when I swapped to Facebook and now I’d never look back at Bebo..In fact I think I deleted my account in year 8…I’m now in Year 11….I mean come on guys, surely if kids wanted to REALLY keep in contact with their mates they could use Facebook, its monitored alot more than Bebo, and there are more privacy options on there….Bebo has lost out BIG time…It may as well go now before another generation go through the same worry of how much ‘luv’ they get :/

Facebook is better than bebo, but I prefer the layout on bebo. Bebo is much easier to use than facebook aswell but it will probably close down…

dont shut bebo down
reinvest in it D

ah! if u close bebo it will cause alot of deaths yano! cause i like live for my bebo ) dont close it u sad ppl.

well to be honest i love bebo and all my friends do .
i would HATE for bebo to be closed .
AOL should do whatever it takes to keep bebo up and running .
if investing in bebo would help to keep it up then yes .
i have made some really nice friends on bebo and would hate to lose them .
bebo is better than facebook and myspace and twiter and msn , i think bebo should stay .
please dont shut it down

well to be honest i love bebo and all my friends do .
plaese dont delete bebo

i love bebo .
its better than any website ever !
to be honest bebo is better than facebook , it has way more fun things .
plaese dont delete bebo . i love it to much .
invest in it , i think that would be your best bet

Keep bebo there isn’t anythinhg better than relax and go on bebo after a hard day and talk 2 your mates keep bebo

Keep bebo there isn’t anythinhg better than relax and go on bebo after a hard day and talk 2 your mates keep bebo

nooooooooooo! don't shut it down! no one is going to pay for anything, so it's better just to keep it up. you can't take it away from us after we've been using it for years!

DONT CLOSE BEBO!

i was going to use bebo but by the looks at it its HORRIFYING facebook is easier and better but i still think it shouldnt close down

FACEBOOK IS WAYYYYYYYYYYY BETTER!!!!!!!!!!!

actually i like facebook WAYYYYYYY BETTER!!!!!!!!!!!

whats your problem facebook rocks!!!!! i love it and will nvr use bebo and i will always use facebook!!!!!!!!

IT IS NOT FASTER THAN FACEBOOK!!!!!

BEBO WILL NEVER BE BETTER THAN FACEBOOK!!!!!

FACEBOOK IS WAYYYYYYYYYYYYYY BETTER!!!

BEBO MIT BE CLOSING BUT WAT ABOUT MINIPLANET WAT IS HAPPING TO OUR MINI,HOW WILL WE GET ON LOADS OF POEPLE HAS THER THINGS IN MINI WAT ABOUT OUR PADS SO MUCH TO LOSE ,PLEASEEEEEEEEEEE CAN TELL US WAT ARE WE SUPPOSE TO DO,TO ME FACEBOOK NOT TAT GOOD ANYWAY ..PLEASEEE HELPPPP US ..

i dont think facebook is as good as bebo ,, makin the wrong decision by closing bebo!!

I HATE FACEBOOK. it's soo confusing. and the only reason i am on it is because of the games. but bebo is my main source of contacting my family and friends. please take this into consideration. some people actually NEED BEBO !

No i dont think they should delete bebo just cuz there isnt as much people on bebo to facebook, facebook is crud anyways

so please dont delete bebo

DONT CLOSE DOWN BEBO PLEASE BEBO JUST NEEDS BETTER APPLICARIONS AND GAMES THATS ALL

dont closee bebo down!!!!!!!!!!!!! ITS SAFER AND BETTER FOR ALL AGES

first all the changes with bebo, the new layouts are gay!! If they didnt change bebo they should still be sweet? Will suck if they do tho, wont be able to talk to my mum as my bro using her email addi for another site. dont shut it down please.

kay, well you want to know what i think; not that it should matter to you anyway, but i think that bebo should be kept going because, u s teens and also some adults that i know, we all use bebo as a way to connect with one another, for instense, im in Auckland City and i have recently moved from Wellington City, and right now bebo is the only way i can keep in contact with my family and friends.. But if you's were to shut bebo down, how the hell am i suppose to connect with my mum, when she has only JUST figured out how to use bebo; and i also hate the fact that facebook is NOTHING like bebo, it's more complicated, and its a known fact that most teenagers these days in my counrty ( New Zealand ) are all on bebo, you could find alot of long lost friends on here, and deleting bebo would probly make our lives alot more lonely, bebo is like a second connection, it can keep me in contact with my family in USA and amsterdam, so what im rying to say is, they should consider keeping bebo; itll keep us teens happy (:

bebo`s better than facebook !! facebook`s so boring !

well i say they should reinvest for those that use bebo. they should also show that they can actually compete. but if it goes it goes.

dont shut dwn BEBO PLEEEEEEEESE !!!!!
facebook is confusing and boring !
BEBO is easy to get around and its safe and i reakon its more attracive than the other sites!!
come on AOL be nice !!!

DONT DELETE BEBO ! please its like thee best thing ever , i hardly ever go on face book it sucs !

kayla , just cause you probally never had any friends on bebo , gosh dont mean you gotta try and take away the one thing some people actually dont want to go away , you have your reason for likinq facebook and we have ours for liking bebo, just imagine if it was facebook in bebos position ? huh ?

bebo is too overated, people compete for how many views / loves they have and more and more younger people are using it which i dont think is safe.
facebook is waaay better though i didnt like facebook that much at first but you get used to it and its better than bebo , thats why i deleted my bebo

SHUT DOWN LESS NETWORKS IS BETTER FACE BOOK IS BETTER SHUT DOWN

keep bebo goiong ; dont close it ; just block the people that are threatning others !

I agree its because of the games… , I don't really care about the games but I know lots of people that cant get off them…

Technically, it`s not for ALL ages. (: trufax,yo.

Bebo should stay because some peop;e don't have facebook because they don't like ot

DONT CLOSE IT DOWNN I WILL BE SOOOO DEPRESSSEDDDDDDD

i way llloooovvvvvveeeeeeeeee bebo! although i do play the fb games! they should get zynga to put all they games on bebo n they most likely find theyd fly by fb coz the games r the only gd thing bout it

Please dont close bebo im begging!!!!!!!!!:(:(

i used to love bebo and hate facebook, but the fact is bebo sucks now and facebook is klass

dont shut it down, i have sooooo many pictures on it, ill be gutted if i have to transfer them all. Dont shut it down

don't close bebo true it will upset a heck of a lot of people. Facebook doesn't have that button you can click on to alert the people behind bebo about stalkers and pedofiles.

xxx

please if you've got any sense rethink what you are doing.

xxx

I LOVE BEBO

FACEBOOK AND ALL THE REST SUCK!!!

KEEP BEBO GOING!!!

i think they should close down aol! there the worst internet provider ive ever had, they suck! and all there contact centres are in iraq or somewhere like that and when you call to cancel you end up speakng to some random irish guy ( you can hear cows mowing in the backround) and him saying "why you leaving i hope it wasnt something ive done" (in a broad irish accent!!!!)

DONT SHUT BEBO DOWN PLEASE RE-INVEST

Facebooks better, Its not because of games, Chat works, Everyones on Facebook, Bebos got nothing to do…. Its not as good. Bebo has lost. I dont think we should all watch bebo re invest in something that has lost, and had done its run.

plz dont close bebo down its pretty, easy, n more fun than facebook twitter and myspace ..

sum1 plz start a band

awww dont close bebo i hate facebook perfer bebo any day….

ok well i think u should not close bebo .
i am a really love bebo .and all my friends love bebo .
i have a brother hats 17 and hes a bit slow and does not really like talking to people ,
he has some mental problems and has been very confused lately . but we showed him bebo and he loves it . he loves meeting new people on it and having a conversation with them over his computer .
he would be devastated if bebo shut down . i mean how would we explain to him what happend ? before his computer was broke and he could not go on bebo for a week and he was very upset and looked himself in a bethroom crying , so imagion what this would do to him . look everyone loves bebo , and theres no need to shut it down . if you do alot of people will be mad . and someone might sue you as well . invest in it thats ur best bet

SIGN TO SAVE OUR BEBO http://www.gopetition.co.uk/online/35369/signatur…

bebo is ok. but to much . its just they copy facebook appz facebook had apps long b4 bebo. they just copyed and younger people just had a major happyness on that app stuff . and bebo u can make skins bt not on facebook. well facebook adult use it alotsso they pay for sum ads and stuff. . so yer. sorry beboer u might aswell start facebook get use to it

please don't close bebo down. it fun to use it's really good and it's alot more safer than facebook. facebook is shit as it is and now on the news it wants people to pay £3.99 to use it well that is shit talk ano i wont be paying £3.99 to use it, but i would pay £3.99 to go on bebo because it's by far the best thing on the internet. so don't close bebo down please. it's the only thing i talk to my far out family on and i don't no what i would do if you closed down. i have spend ALOT of time on bebo for it to just say it's closing down……. so facebook ,,,,, go and fuck yourself i will not be useing you any more!!!!!!!!!!!!!

i dont think u shoud close dwon bebo
coz a lot ov fok like it

facebook is crap

please please dont delet bebo its like the only way i cankeep in touch with my mate that live on the otherside of nz please it wont only be me thats missn out on this

Bebo's done so much for me; heh, I can write paragraphs about it. I love it and the friends I've met on there. Please, do not shut it down.

Hey, I have just read all this. and I agree! I roleplay on bebo. And I can’t do that on facebook. Facebook is ok for talking to people, but thats about it. bebo is way better.

Bebo is also one of the only social networking sites you dont have to pay for. Ones like friendster you have to pay money. and the games on facebook you have to pay for as well. Bebo is free!

It would kill me to lose bebo. I’ve had bebo since I was 13. I’m 15 turning 16 and I still have my bebo page. It helps keep me in touch with friends. I hope the AOL invests in bebo.

Another thing the AOL could try is actually listening to the users of bebo and actually filling requests. Thats why its not as popular as facebook. It needs better improvement behind the scenes.

Ok, thats all I’m gonna rant on. I hope bebo stays because I LOVE BEBO!

Wendy .x

to be honest i think they should redesign the whole website and make a fresh start , so the current members wont lose there profile and the current photos or friends.

no whatever :0
i have a cool name
we will lose friends

Don't close bebo, i think it's still alot. But hey facebook just started and everyone joining cos it's new. I don't think facebook is all that, it's just the same but you do less things on facebook. There are many bebo on bebo, cos i know bebo is great and it's easy and simple. Just don't close bebo. Bebo needs to stay around longer. facebook should be for older people and that bebo is for the little ones joining, i bet there are going to heap of people joining bebo real soon. think of the ones going to join it ? Keep faith LOL

oh my gosh! whats the big difference in facebook and bebo? yes facebook is way more confusing and it sucks. bebos just way better. i dont get why yous are shutting down bebo when obviously people could pretend to be otheres on myspace and facebook aswel? people can still commit suicide through facebook? its not just coz of bebo. and to be honest, bebo is way better then any other sight. i dont know which makes it better. but gosh, dont shut it down please!?

Bebo's crap anyway.
I only kept mine for some people.
I honestly wont miss it alot.

y can bebo just make it better and try to get rid of the spam mails and that. and upgrade bebo. i consider bebo sometimes better then facebook but if bebo can put more games and maybe put some fun things on bebo, ppl will like it better. myspace is boring cas of all the crap i always liked bebo before facebook and myspace came out. myspace got boring and facebook is getting boring everyday. so hopefully they can either sell it and someone can make it better or upgrade bebo and maybe put up a chat also and that. the one thing bebo has that facebok doesnt is the colour backgrounds.

dont shut bebo down !!

Dont cloossee bebo down eh iits waae beeter thaan FACEBOOK DUUR!!!!!!!!!!!!

i think bebo shouldnt be shut dwn its a secound life for most people . ilove my bebo page its away to stay in touch with the out side world :/ but all good things come to an end :/ what ever happens,happens

alot ov people stil prefer bebo! itz more simple dn otha websites
it helps us stay in contact with family over seas. .

bebo is stil 1 ov a kind. .facebook is boring!

please don't close down bebo. Bebo easier than facebook and easy for anyone to use it.My kids enjoy bebo and easy for them to customise and it's features.

in my opinion i think that closinq down bebo woukld be a biq loss to not only me but a wider range of people around the world as i find it alot more easier &d more social wise to use with its emoticons &d skins . So please dont SHUT DOWN BEBO

please don't close bebo, we love bebo and easy to use by kids.

bebo is the best, please reinvest because i love bebo

Hmmmm i reckon that people are changing over to facebook because it has a faster communication system than bebo? where as you wouldn't have to refresh the page to get the new messages and chats pretty awesome too and fast it's like facebook connected with msn but in a more fancier way, i also preferred that bebo should just go back to the simple setting it was much better than it is now and for a minute it looked as if it were going to in the same direction as myspace? well thats my theory anywho don't shut bebo down thats where i store all of my photos awesome site for it too aww and active uploader needs an upgrade lol…..its a bit slow these days but other than that bebo is good……!

whats friendster, i have never heard of it and niether has anyone i know so it cant be doing that well:s

Yeah it is! I'm on facebook too but tbh bebo is better than facebook!

BEBO !!!!!! DONT GO Your my life

DELETE BEBO PLEASE, its time for a change.

ihave mixed feelings about this. I prefer facebook to bebo. But it would be a shame to see bebo go. Ihave a bebo , but dont logon no where near as much as i do my facebook. Ijust feel ive put alot of effort into my profile over the last few years and find it quite irritating if it were to be taken. Ialso keep in contact with friends and family who are not on facebook through bebo. In saying that , im over using bebo. Ijust feel its a little kids site compared to facebook !
TEAM FACEBOOK (:

im very interesting in bebo than facebook

12.8 million compared to facebooks 462 million. that says it all just shut it down, reinvesting money on bebo will be a waste of good money.

haha bebo's days are over get on the facebook buzz people it's hella better than this bebo garbage.
zynga stopped updating their apps on bebo a long time ago and they wont start now, its really not worth it.

I disagree- I used to have a bebo and constantly was f/r'd by randoms who could potentially be 'dangerous' while on facebook the only 'randoms' I've experienced are people who f/r me based on having a few mutual friends but don't actually know me.

I don't understand your reasoning…bebo and Facebook BOTH require computers with internet, so how is bebo for 'young people which don't have a lot of money'? And also, how is Facebook for adults in particular? Because it doesn't have a childish design?!

There's no point begging them to keep bebo, if it's not getting as much traffic than other social networking sites then there really is no point in keeping it on the internet any longer. People are saying Facebook is confusing and Bebo is better to connect, well not really. Not at all in fact. Facebook is so much more efficient and easier to find people.

bebo cant close down it is gone a bit boring but it would still be missed.
it just needs compeat with facebook and bring out something on bebo that facebook doesnt have. it just needs to be made more exciten thats all

Bebo take no notce whatsoever of abuse reports while facebook has treated the same complaints seriously. I hope they do close down and the sooner the better.

i it atchually closing down??so many memories are on it and from it..dont close it down:( even though many of my friends are now on facebook i hav no fkin clue how ta use it lol an bebo i way safer an i love it lol…j

Bebo closing down has been a while coming, even back in its hey day It was never and I mean never a match on facebook. It was only ever popular with the people of the UK & Ireland, and even they are now moving over to Facebook. All thats on bebo nowadays is all the adandoned PCDJ pages/bands/groups that DJ Rankin n others created a few years back and that trend died a couple of years back as well. Like mixstreet, Bebo has had it's day and the best thing that AOL can do is put the final nail in the coffin.

Doesn't surprise me what AOHELL does anymore, they could have owned it all, but instead they continue to step on there d's and make bad management calls. I found an AOL customer this week, still paying $29.95 a month for it and he has had a DSL network connection for 3 years.

I remember when I loved Bebo 2 myspace nd facebook.I can even make bebo skins which took months to figure out.I will still keep my original profile always.Kep bebo cuz i luv to check on it every now nd then
