#13 My Space & #14 Facebook

To me, Myspace and Facebook have truly become the preferential mediums for keeping in touch with your friends. As these social networking websites have developed, the general populus has shifted from being primarily Myspace users, to a predominantly Facebook crowd.  In my case, being part of an older generation, I have contemplated the idea of creating a Facebook account with the purpose of keeping in touch with family and friends whilst travelling. I'm willing to give it a shot, but I'm going to do my best to not make it into an obsession like millions of users around the globe have managed to do! Because of this recent task to create both a Myspace and Facebook page, the endless contemplation became a reality. After assessing the advantages and drawbacks of each site, I have decided that Facebook is more effective in communication with friends. This is for a number of reasons, primarily because of its instant messaging capabilities, and the ability to find friends who I've been wanting to track down for years. Aside from the interaction with friends, Myspace has proven to be much more effective in searching music and artist pages. This helped me find out when my favourite singers are making their next Australian tour!
