Believe it or not, nowadays I prefer Facebook. Less stigma and more discretion at work. More fun applications. Easier and more streamlined to browse through. I still have MySpace. I do agree that Facebook is aimed towards a different crowd.

I still love Facebook better
Even though it's going downhill with all those annoying applications that clutters everyone's profiles.
I also don't like how it opened up to high schoolers and people without a network. My sister says some of her friends (in 7th grade) have facebooks.
Facebook is turning into Myspace. Joy.

I have both. I prefer facebook (minus the new applications - I refuse to add any of those). Most of the people I associate with now, and many old friends from middle and high school, are on facebook, so I use it more. Like someone said earlier, MySpace is good for finding those friends - the ones not doing much with their lives.

Thumbs up In my opinion...

As my username implies, you can obviously tell my preference. Although I have to concur that the applications are quite annoying. Its funny that as much as ppl know I like FB, they are surprised I don't have many applications. Facebook is getting less selective and it's only fun when ppl update thier profiles (add photos, status, etc), it's easier to be nosy . Plus I'm a middle school teacher and the kids ask if i'm on Myspace (which most of them are on) no one has asked about FB thank God ( i don't want them all up in my business) LOL

I have both, however I'm more partial to facebook. More of my friends are on there, and it's easier to keep track of things and leave messages. I have a lot of apps, but nothing like the vampire, warewolf, who's your soulmate, how sexy are you apps. Those are just effing annoying. I do like the oregon trail one though

I have both, but honestly, Facebook annoys me with all the applications.

I've noticed Myspace started a "news feed" but it's not nearly as detailed as the one FB has. If you change something in Facebook it will be specific like "texas*princess added ------ to her favorite music". The one on Myspace will just say "texas*princess edited her profile". But I'm sure they are trying to make it more like FB's eventually.

Facebook. The games are fun. Myspace is becoming confusing.

I prefer Facebook. It's easy to advertise campus events, and more people I actually KNOW add me as friends. Myspace is too much like BP, now. It's too many people (young and old) who have nothing to say and are trying desperately hard and failing to look sexy.

I definitely like facebook more but each time they add new applications to fb the profiles becomes miles long. Its becoming too much, I dont even know why people add all that junk to their pages. Nobody is going to read all of it anyway

I wanna know....

.... how to get in the profit sharing with those stupid "gifts".

It's a pretty brilliant money-making concept.... make an incredibly simple JPEG, charge $1 for it and try to sell a million of them. The crazy thing is PEOPLE ACTUALLY BUY THEM.

I definitely love Facebook much more than I even like MySpace. Facebook is more structured and organized, not as complicated, and you can edit your settings to exactly what you want. Lots of Apps, no Apps, Detailed news feed, no notifications... MySpace has spam, flash layouts that take forever to load...

Myspace takes forever to load when people put all that glittery icon sh!t on their page and the spam gets annoying. Facebook use to be simple, but now you can find out who is single, who posted what on who's page. Facebook is just doing way too much right now.

Yeah but if you don't wanna see that, All you gotta do is hit that little X on th right side. You can customize what goes in your news feed, it's easier to find your friends, and it can be as simpla or as difficult as you want. Besides, i kinda like being able to see some updates without having to go to each individual persons profile. I have too many friends on there for that :-\

You know there are free gifts you can send occasionally. No, I'm not talking about the "Free Gifts" application (which I happen to like), but if you go to Facebook's gift section & select "free," a couple should come up. they're not always the greatest icons, though..
