Myspace sucks. |
SO TRUE!
Yeah, myspace DOES take forever to load, and they load some crappy music you don't want to hear, and have no choice NOT to hear.
I go there so seldom, I forgot how much myspace really sucks. |

The average MySpace page looks like someone vomited code onto my screen.
In order to see Facebook, you need to join Facebook.
Final grade on both:

Whenever I use myspace, I search for the music player on EVERY DAMN PAGE as it's loading. Usually I can find and disable it before it finishes loading and starts playing.
I like Facebook. I don't use it much, but I prefer it to Myspace which is all spam and lousy coding. |

| Wifey uses Facebook. One day I decided to see what all the fuss was about. I didn't get it. Seemed like a high schoolesque popularity contest to see who could amass the most 'friends.' The groups seemed pretty dumb (if 1,000,000 people join this group, I'll dress up like a chicken) and the applications gay (BillyBob just sent you and Jack and Coke using Booze Mail ...). Overall, I reckon it's a collosal waste of time. I keep in touch with old friends via email and the telephone. Works for me. Anyone I'm not in touch with I figure is because they were a tosser to begin with, or I simply couldn't be arsed. |

Facebook is better all around. You don't have to deal with the clutter of MySpace pages. It has a cleaner look. You don't have to search the internet for code to customize your profile. It's much easier to search. I find it much easier to connect with old friends on Facebook than on MySpace.
It has some really great applications. It has a blog function. You can write blog "notes" and even import "notes" from your regular blog. It has RSS functions. You can insert a Flicker feed.You can do a lot more with photos. The Picnik app allows you to edit your photos without leaving Facebook. It has so many options for customizing your page.
Facebook is the winner. |

I agree with the general tone of comments and that facebook is a lot more "user friendly". That said, I think facebook risks providing all and nothing, with its application approach. I think it really has to start thinking what it wants to be (and also the question about generating income -- good article in the economist about that - basically its value is huge but it has no known PRESENT income generating potential.....).
Has anyone used Ning? www.ning.com Search for some communities. Community based, I have my own, see the link in my sig. A great way for a classroom to meet or a group. Much more visual and friendlier even than facebook. Ning also has young developers responding to creators needs (for example I have the source code, a thing facebook would NEVER provide).
