Customizing the page is complete stupid, as it requires people to load what you create. This in turn is a waste of time.

The only thing that Myspace really has over Facebook is Music.

But that’s gonna be gone in a few months imo.

It’s quite obvious that Facebook is rapidly gaining reputation and shadowing Myspace by the second. I’d really say that it depends on your preference, though. If you’ve got one hell of a laggy computer, (though I’m sure most people use it through cell, I wouldn’t know), I wouldn’t suggest you use Myspace. All the flash applications, tricked out .gif pics/layouts. Myspace is more of the website for your average teenager. Expressing their “originality” as one might say through their profile creation. Right now Myspace has the advantage over Facebook, but soon Myspace will be a thing of the past.

Now, Facebook. Facebook is obviously the cleaner version of Myspace, without all the tricked out customizations and all. Personally, I think it’d be alot easier for people who’re just there to communicate and check up on people. Not everyone has the skills that’re required to be able to make a nice profile, and it’s really kind’ve bothersome on Myspace when you see all those other people with nice profiles. Facebook is more equality. It’s pretty much there for the more mature people, who’re more busy in their life and don’t give a hoot about their profile, they just need a mobile way to keep in communication. However, even though Myspace is pedophile/trytogetfamous central, Facebook, I fear, will soon face the same troubles. I believe this has been mentioned by someone earlier. So, I won’t really take that into much account seeing as how the pedos and the people with shreds of hope for fame will go to whatever communication site is winning the most people.

Twitter, I honestly can’t say anything about. Pretty clueless on the whole matter for it, really. As far as I can tell, it’s just like the news. Informing you about every little piece of information that’s floating around, all packed into one website. Also a place for you to stalk people. It’s alot more similar to Facebook than Myspace, of course.

So, summarized up: Facebook is the cleaner, easier way of communication with individuals you just want to keep up with, all you busy people. Myspace is the place to express your “originality” through profile creation, however, I believe the communication and updates lack in comparision with the ever-so-nosy Facebook. Facebook = mature, Myspace = your typical teenager.

My opinion.

Last Facebook = Simple, No Privacy, Waste of Time, Inconsistent, Childish And Inconsistent.

I don’t care enough to really be “completely loyal” to either sides. I use it as a communication tool. If I can’t find them on Myspace I will find them on Facebook. Easy.

In the end however. I do prefer Myspace.
The reason I do, is because of the custom layouts. I’m big on graphic design, and I love creating something that is all my own. On Facebook it is not as customizable.
I also love the fact that you can choose whether or not your profile is private on myspace. Private profiles have always irritated me, even if I do understand there use.

I also hate app invites.
Something that Myspace copied from Facebook.
Facebook and Myspace both have way too many. -Facebook has more, so in turn Facebook has become more irritable. In my opinion.

Unlike [45] of the responses..
I love how they have been updating myspace. They’re only enhancing, and attempting to regain themselves. I don’t care, I like it.

There are a lot of advertisements however, and spam.
It reminds me a lot of Apple and Microsoft to be honest. Microsoft has problems, mainly because of it’s age. While Apple has mainly great advances but will never beat some of what Microsoft has created.

Really, it’s an equal idea to me.
It all depends on what you prefer in communication and profile design.
Facebook is simple, Myspace is a bit more complicated.

It depends.
But, I like Myspace.

myspace u can desing ur own profile and chose to put it on private or public.
the only bad thing about myspace is it keeps updating it self and its starting to become ANNOYING. like the new desing they did for the inbox. all the apps are also stupid.

BTW way more ppl have a myspace and u can look at their profile w/o having one.

myspace is much much better then confusing facebook. so a get a myspace!!

so i would have to say myspace any day, any time ;P

Plus someone can’t make it absolutely impossible to read their profile page on FB. Not everyone is a designer, and Facebook acknowledges this so they leave design up to their team. From a marketing perspective, it’s stupid to let folks “re-brand” your website even if it is just one page at a time. Besides, MySpace is for people who have things to hide, like their real name.

so enjoy them all while they last.

I do agree with you about Facebook allowing to send virtual crap and the extremely STUPID tests people take. But you can easily ignore it all.

The problem is these things also exist in MySpace (not necessarily within the site but people post crap from other sites). Is it a condition that people on MySpace suffer from, thinking that animated gif files are cool?, blasting shitty music as soon as you come in and have to scroll over and over to find out where the damn player is so you can turn it off?

If you can hear highscool students when you visit Facebook, do you hear elementary school students when you go to MySpace?

=)

It’s nice to see what an old friend is up to these days, without prior contact for an email address. Facebook makes a name search more immediate and productive. However, Facebook sticks the “wait until (or if) you get permission” crap in the way.

Photos are MUCH easier to deal with on Myspace. IMHO, Facebook as a much less mature product, but then, fads don’t always follow the most sensible route. For example, Facebook tries to be a proto-Twitter with Borg-like updates, for ALL your “friends” to see, a feature that I can’t stand. But this is probably the very thing that teens and tweens desire.

In addition, Facebook fans probably love all the totally useless, time wasting crap like “Farming”, “building a Mafia”, and “sending” people everything from drinks to motorcycles. I swear, everytime I visit Facebook, I can almost hear highschool students in a hallway.

With Myspace, one can choose an alias, the look of their page, and so on. Myspace is more for the individual and Facebook is more for the Borg. But, resistance is futile!
