As I approach college age, my life in making an inextricable shift toward Facebook.  It really makes no rational sense, as I still MySpace does the whole social networking thing better. Or at least did. Here, I had a paragraph written, but a list would be better:

MySpace

Blogs offer statistics, and better viewing history

Pictures – More room, easier viewing format

People – mostly teenagers and bands

Comments aren’t as streamlined as the Wall

Bulletin board is still awesome

Has no IM

Profiles themselves are more user friendly

Apps are either ripped off of Facebook, or are the same app, only accessible from both networks.

Is more centered around the profiles and interaction at least used to be through the profiles.

Facebook

Notes allow you to see all your friends’ notes on one place

Pictures – better tagging engine

People – friends and many professionals, less bands and the like; profiles are for individuals

Wall beats Comments

Has no bulletin equivalent

IM is functional

Profiles themselves are a bit confusing

Apps are interesting

Is more centered on other people, regardless of who they are, as long as they’re on or interacting with someone on your friends list. Interaction is generally to a person, with all interactions more or less mashed together.

Anyway, I don’t really think that any of these services are better… Actually, I think MySpace is a little better, but each ‘improvement’ to MySpace thins the line. But more things seems to be going on with Facebook, and the things that do go on, you know about. With MySpace all you really see is status changes and bulletins and the little subscription things. On Facebook, you see, and can comment on, EVERYTHING.

I think I’m going to start making the transition. I think I have already started.

Well, that’s all my thoughts for now….
