Which is better? My gf and I were debating this the other day. I personally am impressed with Facebook's networking capabilities. Thoughts?

I don't use facebook because I believe you have to have an email account from a school to sign up for it right? So I can't really compare.

I like Myspace a bit more. Since I was out of college and didn't have an edu email when the whole facebook thing started I can't get into the networks of the colleges I attended. I like being able to post bulletins and design my page on myspace. Both are great ways for me to catch up with friends all over the world.

Facebook is so much better it is not even funny. You don't need a specific email address to sign up for it anymore.

You don't NEED an edu email, but you can't use facebook to it's full capabilities without one. I don't agree that it's far better though, there is too much plain crap on there, too many applications, stupid groups, etc.

When I joined Facebook back in 2004 I quit using my myspace account. I like facebook more but it may be due to the fact that I was in college when I started and it was a college thing.

I have both, but rarely use Facebook any more. I guess if I was on it 24/7 it might make a difference, but getting invites to "take the movie quiz" and join the "drunk chicks out of control" group are annoying. I like myspace better because of the music and the way you can "pimp" your profile. (isn't that what the kids these days call it?) It just seems much easier to use.


OK, so the "drunk chicks out of control" group was cool, but not worth the effort. :wink:

I got too much junk from Myspace. I would get all these spam requests, and it just got annoying. I really like Facebook hands down. I like all the applications you can add. They keep me entertained. :smile:

NEITHER, seriously, they are abomintations! That is the worst collective sites on the internet. I would be emberrassed to have my personal site linked to anything in those two networks.

What scares me even more is these are the future leaders of our country. They cannot even figure out how to not put white text on a black background. Have I mentioned how much I hate myspace? Sorry, rant off.

Is it just me or do they both suck......

I have never really used either of them, I would rather use messages boards such as this one. I am probably a member of about 30 different message boards.

Edit: great minds think alike Brian

So actually what you are saying is you prefer Facebook then. :smile:

Is there any way to cancel a myspace account? I'm really sick of getting friend requests from girls who are trying to sell porn of themselves. I don't use it anymore but every time I open my email there are one or two requests in it. Ugh.

once you have myspace for awhile you end up getting friend request from porn stars and strippers. its really annoying. also even though you can customize ur page on myspace people take it to far and it gets way to messed up. facebook is also more private. facebook wins hand down.

Myspace is waaay too "MTV" pre-teen looking for my tastes. With facebook you don't have to have all the flashy crap constantly hitting you in the face.
