Myspace Vs Facebook Vs Twitter
Tuesday, 31. March 2009, 03:37:16
I've been hearing a lot about these three social-networks. I personally am not with any of these sites, but I am curious, which is better?
According to a recent social-network poll, Facebook is the world's largest social-network, followed by Myspace. Twitter is the 3rd largest social community. To see the list of all major social-networks, go here. Myspace seems to attract teenagers, while Facebook and Twitter seems to attract all ages. Here's my own little review on these three communities:
Facebook:
After checking it out for a little bit, Facebook seems like a good place. From what I've seen, it looks pretty "laid back" and with a nice and interesting community of people in it. It also looks like one of those sites where you can customize anything and everything. It looks like a place to live a "virtual life". I heard however that Facebook doesn't work well with the Nintendo Wii console's web-browser, which is what I use, but with about 175,000,000 members, it has to be good for something right? I'd give it a 4 out of 5.
Myspace:
When I first heard about Myspace, I was curious to see what it was about. when I got there, it was nothing what I was expecting. and I don't mean that in a good way. The sections and profiles that I looked through was filled with profanity and inappropriate content. There wasn't a forum I looked through that didn't contain the "F" word inside of them. I'm sure Myspace is not about profanity and stuff like that, but that's just what I saw. I also heard that Myspace had problems with the Wii's web-browser too. So for my review of this site, I'd give it a 2 out of 5. I'm sorry for the low rating, but if anyone can comment on what's the point of Myspace, please do so and I'll probably change the rating.
Twitter:
The concept of this site is odd. You're suppoed to create these short messages about what you're doing at that very given moment. When people look at your messages and continue to watch them, they are called your "followers". I've heard that this community is very addictive to people. However, I have heard that although the concept of the site sounds silly, once you get started, it actually becomes very fun (providing you don't get addicted to it). So my rating for this site is 3 out of 5. It's a good community.
So there you have it. I'll be editing this post later on along with my ratings, but in the meantime, I'm interested in hearing your comments about these social-networks.
