SOCIAL NETWORKING


Both are great forms of social networking, but to me they are also different in a lot of ways. It really depends on what you would be using them for.

Facebook seems to be more business orientated and a little more formal than MySpace. Facebook is an excellent place to post upcoming events to inform everyone of. A lot of college students use this form of social networking so the know what is going on a the different colleges that their friend are at.
MySpace is a little more laid back and a lot more fun. The social networking in MySpace has a lot of crazy graphics and people go crazy changing the layouts and backgrounds in it. They also post a lot of pictures of events that they attend as slideshows that rotate or flip around so their friend can see them. There is one for minor children that is a lot safer for them than MySpace called Vevo. I would not recommend that minors use MySpace because it is to accessible, even with the new privacies changes.
My preference is MySpace. I just have a lot more fun with it that FaceBook, and even though everyone I know has accounts in both, they use the MySpace the majority of the time.
Below are my links for this lesson.
