MySpace/Facebook

Brandon Kenah

Facebook is a social networking system that ables you to connect with friends. Facebook is mostly used for entertainment purposes; such as meeting new online friends and joining groups. After adding friends, you can instantly see what they are doing after they “update their status” or “update their profile”. While in Facebook, you can join groups where you can meet new people and also catch up with old colleagues/co-workers. Many people constantly add pictures to their photo albums and other friends will instantly see your photos. If you own a blog, you have the ability to merge Facebook with your blog. Facebook is very simple; the search browser makes it very easy to find friends and various other tasks. Some people dislike Facebook because you cannot add music or videos to your profile. Those are the reasons some people like MySpace better; you have the ability to add multimedia such as music and video to your profile all for free. Some critics say that MySpace is much more confusing compared to Facebook, however if you are good with computers you are free to pretty much make your profile look however you want it to. This is all done in your MySpace editor by using JavaScript. There are websites to help enhance your profile, but it makes it more confusing. Although, it is very easy to keep in touch with people because there are instant messaging, forums, bulletins, and groups you can all use.
Both of these websites have a massive network because almost every teenager has either a Facebook or a MySpace; some people have both. In some cases Facebook is much easier to use when communicating with business or news because it gets information out quick. Mainly, these websites are used for social and recreational purposes. They are very useful and tons of people benefit from both sites.
