what we learned about facebook and myspace

Today in class we went to the computer classroom to make our myspace and facebook pages if we did not already have them. We visited both of those sites to either make the pages or to add people in our class. We explored each website so we could get familiar with each site. We needed to find what was similar and what was different about each of the sites where. I am very comfortable with facebook. I have had my facebook for years now. When I first started using it however I did not like it at all. I had no idea what or how to use it. I just had to play around on it for a little and I finally got the hang of it. I had a myspace for the longest time though I got one when I was a freshman in high school. Once I discovered facebook I deleted my myspace and only had facebook. So when I made my page the other day I completely forgot how to use it. I noticed that they tried to make it like facebook. They have the chat at the bottom and the status to know what you are doing. The profiles are a little different you can make your page all pretty on myspace and can add music on yours. Myspace also has top friends which I believe causes a lot of drama people get really mad if your not on there top. Which it really doesn’t matter those are the people who have to have drama in there life to feel complete. I also believe that facebook is more for collage people and older. Myspace is still really used by the high school kids and lower. I mean I understand the older people have myspaces but that is just my opinion. This class helped me understand the feel for myspace again. I mainly was on myspace throughout to get familiar with it again. I only used facebook so I could add people from the class. I really did not like how myspace has changed so much it made me difficult to learn. I did not like how they tried to copy facebook because I thought it would be easier to learn and it was not. I am going to delete my myspace after we finish this essay cause I will never use it. I just like facebook a lot better!
