Cameron's House of Fun

Fatherhood, politics, education, random thoughts (heavy on the random thoughts) and stuff (always stuff).

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:
  1. It's ghetto as fuck
  2. Everyone is 18
  3. Or naked
  4. Or both
  5. User customizable CSS templates does not = good
  6. Usability? What? Huh? OMG THE GOGGLES! THEY DO NOTHING!
  7. AUTOPLAY MUSIC IS FROM SATAN!
Compare that with Facebook:
  1. 100% less ghetto
  2. Many people are young, but there are tons who are not
  3. 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)
  4. One template. One look. It's pretty. Much AJAX. Yay!
  5. I can find things. It doesn't burn my eyes. Soothing!
  6. They might go into music hosting/band pimping. Wanna bet they do it better than Myspace?
