Myspace vs. Facebook

I had some time on my hands so I decided to create a Facebook account.

I know, it's another internet craze like Zanga or Myspace. But really, what is the difference?

I didn't have a Zanga account, but I did have a Myspace. I thought that it was a pretty good site. I reconnected with some old gymnastics friends I hadn't seen in years. I was able to personalize my page and put music on and all these other features. When I told my parents, they first became parentally concerned and made me do monthly check ups on my page. (This was when there was myspace 'horror stories' on the news.) After a while, they stopped... and so did the myspace craze.

Now the Facebook craze has begun and I just joined it. I think it's interesting and has its pros and cons as anything does. Instead of the myspace comments, Facebook has 'writings on (your friends)'s wall'. It also keeps record of what changes that were made to your account and what others did to your account (i.e. write on your wall, 'poke' you, add a new friend, etc.) I haven't got many facebook friends yet, but I'll see how it turns out compared to the myspace world.
