Why Facebook is better than MySpace

EVERYONE (that I know) has a MySpace pro­file, but no one that I know in real life has a Face­book pro­file. It’s hard to see why, because Face­book is ten times bet­ter, in my opin­ion. No longer to you have to worry about the guy that believes he must have 22 YouTube videos, 2 cha­t­rooms, 3 Twit­ter badges, 9 playlists, and 23,000 LOL­Cat pic­tures on his pro­file. Yeah, you know, that guy…, the one that always crashes your browser and gives you the BSOD.

More rants after the break…

Any­way, besides not mak­ing the inter­net ugly, like MySpace, Face­book con­cen­trates more around the users and the idea that a “social net­work”, should be a “social net­work”. By that I mean it’s eas­ier to inter­act with friends, import con­tacts, etc.

All of those things are con­tained within a sim­ple, no-fuss inter­face. I know it sounds like it was made for the less tech savy peo­ple, but I’ve per­son­ally found it more than suf­f­i­cent for a “power user”, or what­ever you want to call me.

So, really quickly, here’s why Face­book mur­ders MySpace, in my opinion…

  • It’s orga­nized
  • Easy to do… everything
  • Bet­ter friend inter­ac­tion (I think, anyway)
  • Cool fea­tures (like blog feed importing)
  • Bet­ter gram­mar (no offense to any­one, but I’ve found that Face­book users usu­ally have bet­ter gram­mar skills as opposed to MySpace users)
  • And the list goes on…

But, alas, all of my friends are still on MySpace, so I guess I’m not going any­where. But you know, I’ll still have my Face­book pro­file up for any­one to add me…

There are prob­a­bly some MySpace fan­boys that hate me now, but know I do think it’s a great site…

So, what do you think? By the way, I’ve only been using Face­book for twenty minutes.

    I think that MySpace is much bet­ter than Face­book because you can add back­grounds and other fun things like that. You can have chat rooms, quizzes, movies, and I find that I can cus­tomize my page a lot bet­ter than on Face­book. This is some­what of a late com­ment, because this is the first time I’ve been on your web­site, and dis­agreed with your opin­ion. –fmsgoatgirl

    I agree to some extent, although face­book is anti-developer. The lack of html input makes it not as good as it could be.
