Which Social Networking Site is Best for You
It's safe to say that you have seen or heard just about everything there is to know about Myspace and Facebook, two Internet "friend" sites which are very popular among teenagBeneath the mounds of press each receives - both positive and negative - it may be easy to lose sight of what each has to offer that may be personally beneficial. What is it about these web sites that make them so addicting to the point where one has 12,948 Myspace friends and has joined 120 Facebook groups?
When used properly, Myspace and Facebook can be useful tools for social interaction, event planning, professional networking and self-promotion. But beware; each site also has its own pitfalls that can quickly turn your experience into a negative one.
Here is a break down on what each site has to offer:
Myspace.com: The All-Inclusive Internet Community
Info: Myspace allows people blog, meet other people and post their own music for everyone to hear.
Features: Myspace literally has everything under the sun. First you create a profile, and once that is done get ready to get sucked in. Here are the cool things you can do:
o Publish a blog (online journal perfect if you love to do a little ranting)
o Post personal photos
o Post videos
o Post music if you are a musician
o Go to the discussion forums and talk about ANYTHING
o Make your own music page so people can check out your music and see where you are playing next, and yes you can have both a person and a band page.
The Good: The great thing about Myspace is meeting people. You're able to search for friends you haven't talked to and want to get back in touch with. If you want to meet new people, just complete a search for who you would like to meet.
