Myspace vs. Facebook

What's happening to Myspace? Is it losing it's charm? It's popularity seems to be dwindling under the shadow of the new Facebook craze. Now that anyone can join Facebook, it's become more popular than ever. I have interviewed several people on the subject, and they say they choose Facebook because it feels safer and more tasteful than Myspace.

So what's keeping Myspace afloat? In my opinion, it's the amazing networking tool it provides bands and companies -- a role that Facebook has yet to fill. Because Myspace is much less localized than Facebook, bands and spammers can network at will. (However, Myspace has recently become more careful in its monitoring of spammers, providing an easily clickable "SPAM" link at the top of messages in users' inboxes). Facebook has yet to come up with a way to come even close to the success Myspace has achieved through band utilization.

Do you have a band profile on Myspace? Do you prefer Myspace or Facebook? Let me know! I have profiles on both, and I use them for different things -- Facebook is generally a place where I talk to local/close friends...people who are close by...to make plans, catch up, or goof around; Myspace is where I talk to long distance friends, network, and promote my bands and various entrepreneurial endeavors. What about you? Do you feel the same way I do? :)
