Myspace vs. Facebook

Yes, yes myspace and facebook is not "politics" but they are 2 of the biggest websites out there. So i thought just for fun i would share why i think facebook is far superior to myspace.

Facebook is way more secure. the privacy settings even allow you to choose not to show up in searches. The interface is clean and easy to use, and there are barely any ads! Myspace to me seems cluttered and burried under adds and "featured profiles". Facebook is centered mainly around photographs and realashionships. You can post unlimited pictures, and albums, and tag your friends in them. what a great way to share memories! Furthermore on facebook when you add a friend you have the option of saying how you know the person, and you can choose to let them only see your limited profile, if you don't want them to know certain things about you.

Myspace the focus to me seems popularity. How many friends do you have? Who is your "top 8"? Drama is built up when someone else is Fred's number 1 friend and you are left at number 3. There is no way to make you profile completely private; it will still show up in the listings if someone searches your name.

How many stories do you hear about predators on myspace? Alot. What about facebook? Personally i han't heard any. Thats because Facebook is geared for older peole (college kids initialy, its now opened up to high schoolers). "Well myspace you can add bands, movies and decorate your profile" some people might say. My response to that is all videos and music do is slow down the website, which is one of the reasons why there are alot of "unexpected errors" on myspace. Through Facebook there are promotional deals that let you get about 30 free songs a month on i tunes. For videos why not just go to you tube where there are alot more? And Finally, for some people, they just love to decorate, getting all the pink, flashy profiles. For me though i found i was wasting hours trying to find cool profiles that would impress everyone. Thats why i like facebook; the focus is more on realashinships.
