Most people think that Myspace and Facebook are basically the same thing- I was one of them. But, to my surprise, their is quite a few different things about them.
• The look and feel of both sites is different: Myspace profiles are all unique and users can add different colors, personal pics and graphics to their page. On the other hand, Facebook profiles are clean and professional.
• Behavior: On Myspace it is more socially acceptable to a friend request. On Facebook that almost never happens. Your Facebook friends are usually people you actually know. Plus, anyone can view your profile on Myspace.
Myspace’s 3 different features are the bulletin board, blog posts and music applications. The first, the bulletin board, allows users to post a message which all of their friends will see when they log in. Because of it’s visibility on the homepage, it is a quick and easy way to grab the attention of all of your friends at once. The second, the blog area, appears on each profile and allows users to make blog posts without actually hosting a blog. And third, you can add music. It’s one of Myspace’s unique features and why the social network has become so famous for discovering bands and talent.
Then there are Facebook applications, a phenomenon that has taken a life of its own ever since their introduction 4 years ago. Here is some of the most fun applications:
• Events: Create event profiles and invite your friends.
• Where you’ve been: Map where you can show everyone where in the world you have been to
• Bumper stickers: Funny “flair” passed back and forth between friends.
• Books you’ve read: Pictures of the books you have recently read and/or are reading
• Graffiti Wall: An application where you can draw a picture on someone else’s wall
• Facebook Chat: Very similar to IM, this app allows you to chat with any of your FB friends currently logged in.
I hope this has helped you choose which one is best for you! The more you know about each social network, the better!
