Facebook vs Myspace

Facebook vs Myspace - Facebook is a social network where friends add eachother and comment on eachothers profiles. Facebook is almost like myspace which is also a social network but the two are so alike that somebody needs to decide which one is better!

Does anybody here not know what facebook is?! It seems that myspace took off and facebook just came out of nowhere and is not competition to myspace. I know alot of people that hate myspace and would rather use facebook because they say its "easier". I recently signed up to facebook and i'll let you know its defidently NOT easier than myspace. Your homepage is filled with information and almost everything is customizable! It get a little confusing though because you can add applications to your facebook to make it stand out. Some applications are made so the more friends you sent invites for the application to the more your popularity goes up. One thing that is going to have users keep switching to facebook is the spam. Myspace is filled with spammers and theres no easy way of getting rid of them. The most common use of spam is having a friend request from a hot chick and when you go to add their profile they fill your profile up with pictures that link to either phising sites that look like myspace and steal your passwords or it links to an affiliate site where these spammers get paid. Facebook on the other hand doesn't have spammers on its network and it includes appliations to prevent spamming so in return its going to be a pretty hard decision over which is better myspace or facebook?

i find that myspace is primarily for people that are into music and bands, to that end, i prefer facebook because it is more user friendly, has great applications and most of my friends and family members are on there.

I'm not sure where your going with your response but i see what you mean about how you don't like social network's because people can find you to easy but the topic here was "Which is better myspace or facebook". Not only that but it is possible to delete your account on myspace once you create one.

I started off with myspace and thought it was great but I have noticed people using it less and less now. My friends kept telling me to go on facebook but it's simple layout didn't attract me but I succumbed to the pressure and created an account. I love it - loads of my old friends are on there and they aren't on myspace. It's so much better - you don't get 'pested' like myspace. I can honestly say, I closed my myspace account today - my page is gone forever. Facebook all the way!
