MySpace vs. Facebook

One more new topic from me and then I should be getting off. (Man, I'm so busy nowadays. I've even had to hold off on answering messages but I hope I'll have more free time soon.)

Anyway, this debate was started on another site I went to (although I don't go there much nowadays because of my busy schedule). Although there are many social networking sites out there nowadays, the two most popular ones are MySpace and Facebook. I do have accounts on both of them but I like Facebook more. Although it's simpler in terms of layout and background, it has really fun applications that you can add, anywhere from personality quiz results to games. I go to Facebook a lot for the games. I can stay at that place for a long time. Also, I've made a lot of really great friends there and reconnected with old friends. I'm very grateful for Facebook in that I've met wonderful people there.

It's obvious that I'm a Facebook fan. lol So I wonder if anyone here prefers one site over another or perhaps even another site altogether. I'm curious to know your thoughts.

I think Facebook is much better.

@Love:

Do you have any particular reasons that you like Facebook more? Like are they the same as the ones I listed? I really like those gaming applications. They're just too addictive. lol

Yup, plus Facebook is more simple.

Yup, that's sure true. I like Facebook for its simplicity as well. It's fun adjusting my page and making it look really nice.

Yup, which is why I am going to join soon.

Ooohh coolie. Let me know if you want to be friends there as well. I'll have to add you, though, since my security settings there are really tight. I have them on strict privacy so that only my friends can see my page. They're special, after all.

I could never get the hang of MySpace it was way too confusing thouh I do like the customisation you could do, shame they don't have something similar on facebook like changing the background colour

@lilly:

Ahh yup, I know what you mean. That was part of the reason I haven't gone on myspace much. I'll drop by there occasionally but facebook is just much easier for me to use.

And I see what you mean about facebook and background color. All that white. lol But I think there's a petition going around for colored profiles so that we wouldn't have to be stuck with that dark blue color. It would be nice to have an option to change that color.

@ Phoenix, yep I don't think it would be too difficult to have the colour option, after all MSN messanger does

Neither, anyway are safe enough.

I mean, someday some guy comes up - on either site - marks you as friend. You then get their friends, and they got your own or something this way. Then they get some pics of you that they broadcast.

I mean, unless you're really sure of your FB/MS friends, I would rather not use either. (Not telling there's no better to get spywares)

you can put blocks on facebook, making a limited profile to prevent certain people seeing things you don't want them to
