Facebook vs. Myspace

Whenever I think about the differences between MySpace and Facebook, I think about the age differences in the people that use the two different social network sites. To me MySpace would be for the younger crowd of teenagers because of the fact that you can add "bling" to your page. Myspace is just a place to go to make a webpage solely directed to you and your interest. While Facebook is for people who just want to socialize with their peers or maybe state an opinion that they want the rest of the world to know. There is less customization on a Facebook page, which i happen to like better. In this essay the author is right in their analyses of how MySpace is greatly influenced by the Hip-Hop genre of music. The younger generation of teenagers are influenced by the pop culture that's around them more than anything else. This is why MySpace attracts the younger crowd more so than adults or even an older generation of teenagers. Facebook is a cleaner more refined social network that is solely in place for people to get their ideas and opinions out there in the world. The only way to actually express yourself on Facebook is through the pictures that you post or actually stating what you have to think. To me that is why Facebook is a better social networking site and is why I have one.
