Personally, I loved the classic Facebook... when only college students were allowed.. The graphical consistency of every person's page better allows for long nights and finished beers. Myspace is like the loud, obnoxious friend of Facebook, you know, that one who sings out loud all the time, and eccentrically matches everything or nothing without care. I'm on Blackplanet, but I only get love from "webspam" girls in different states who think I can only understand ebonics.
Social networking sites significantly altered my chapter's daily operations on campus. Right after crossing in 2003, marketing for an event or party meant handing out fliers on campus, downtown, after other parties, etc. We were forced to interact with everyone we saw to make sure that we packed a venue. Soon, though, it became a matter of dragging a list of names into an invite box to know where a good percentage of attendees will come from. The physical distribution of flyers and word of mouth advertising cannot and doesn't stop, but inclement weather and seasonal conditions aren't as threatening as they used to be.
