Facebook v. MySpace
Ok, so at the insistence of my sister and some friends I got a Facebook account. I had been resisting because of my feelings about MySpace.
For your consideration here are those feelings:
- It's ghetto as fuck
- Everyone is 18
- Or naked
- Or both
- User customizable CSS templates does not = good
- Usability? What? Huh? OMG THE GOGGLES! THEY DO NOTHING!
- AUTOPLAY MUSIC IS FROM SATAN!
- 100% less ghetto
- Many people are young, but there are tons who are not
- I have not been confronted with anything more than a bathing suit shot (It's not the naked that bothers me per se, its the "of course I just want to be your friend, oh did I mention my porn site?"thing)
- One template. One look. It's pretty. Much AJAX. Yay!
- I can find things. It doesn't burn my eyes. Soothing!
- They might go into music hosting/band pimping. Wanna bet they do it better than Myspace?
