I HATE Facebook. And now that Tom’s sold MySpace, it’s completely different. They’re trying to make it like the incredibly bland Facebook. I hate news feeds. I hate farmville. I hate poke wars. WHY did they put these things on MySpace?! News Flash: People who like Myspace, like it for a reason. Imitating the features of Facebook did NOT help them keep the people who wanted to stick by it.

I have wondered this FOREVER. I hate facebook, everyone has switched to it. Why? It’s boring. I hate it.

I do not agree with this at all.
Facebook is boring, has nothing to it.
You can’t do anything with your profile, and it’s completely dull. Nice try on.
But try again. Myspace is better.

All my friends switched over a long time ago, and at first it seemed a good idea. But in hindsight I prefer pages with some bright colours to ones so covered is cr*p applications you cant find where to write a message…

Plus,, i predict when large companys ban facebook from worktime like they did myspace, we’ll all find something new.

While I much prefer Facebook over my space, I disagree with some of the opinions in this piece. Firstly – i get unsolicitied friends request from Facebook just as much as I do from MySpace – there is no privacy that stops this and I can be just as easily found. Interestingly, I’d add that I can better control my privacy on MySpace than I can on Facebook, but I think recent court rulings may make Facebook improve this!

Applications – Facebook has had them for about six months (not from the start) and it is interesting that you see adding applications on Facebook as positive (and deride MySpace for not allowing this), but then deride MySpace for letting me personalise my space in other ways than, on the whole, useless applications. Personalisation is personalisation – whether by application or background code. At least on MySpace I have the freedom to have ‘personality’ on my site (and yes, all too frequently this ends up looking like visual vomit).

Tom? Aren’t you over Mark also?

They aren’t really in the same category or in totally direct competition like, for example, Burger King is with McDonald’s or Ford is with Chevy. On Facebook, I think it’s easier to professionally network, find old friends, and keep in contact with your college. I look at MySpace as more of a way to meet new friends, upload fun pictures, and waste time lol. Neither are really my cup of tea, actually.

I wholeheartedly agree. I like Facebook SO MUCH MORE than both MySpace and Friendster.
