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. All my friends switched over a long time ago, and at first it seemed a good idea.

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?

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.
