Being a full time worker and a part-time student, I don't have much time to visit these social networking sites. I rarely go on to myspace and figured why sign up for facebook, because of the lack of time.
Since, I'm accustomed to myspace this blog may be skewed a bit, but I feel like Myspace has a very simple Graphic User Interface GUI and even an elderly person with given time would be able to navigate around it.
Facebook on the other hand is more complex and very detailed oriented. The one positive attribute that facebook has over myspace is the "What are you thinking" text box. This box acts like a miniature blog and allows you to express yourself to all your friends in your social network. The other website, I chose for this assignment was Mi Gente translated in English means My People. Before, Myspace and Facebook social networks where segregated by race. For example: Asian people connected to a website called Xanga, African Americans could log into Black Planet and Latinos could log into Mi Gente. However, some of these websites turned their attention to matchmaking which,is an interesting way of creating revenue. This business decision opened the door for Myspace and Facebook, who are still free and keep their focus on social networking.
