Posted by nirantha on 01-03-2008 in Myspace vs. Facebook

in this age of communication at our fingertips, two websites have prevailed as the most popular of social networking sites: myspace and facebook.
myspace is advertised as "a place for friends" while facebook was originally intended for college students. lately, the two websites have been taking ideas from each other to "improve" their websites for the masses.

personally, i would have had to go with facebook if it were not for one glaring recent flaw in fb, and that is the "applications". facebook used to have much more class than the tacky customization look of myspace profiles. however, now facebook profiles are being cluttered by nonsense applications which slow my old computer down a lot and are simply irritating. i don't really care if you're a pirate or a ninja or a slayer. but that's just me.
myspace does have the edge when it comes to music though. i think myspace has pushed a lot of indie bands to the forefront who otherwise may have still been playing shows in their garage or local churches... or something.

what do you think?
