A comparison of Facebook,and Myspace.
F=facebook,M=myspace
Home Page Layout
F:It's a simple layout once you get the hang of it.You can see who's birthday is what day of the week that week,if it's their birthday,and you can see everyone's updates.The only thing is that there's 2 feeds when we really only needed 1 like the old 1.
M:This 1 is a jumbled mess.You have applications,activity stream,friends list,and bulletins.Plus you have the corner with your picture,and editing everything.
Blocking
F:If you block someone,their profile suddenly doesn't exist,and they can't see yours either.When you try to search each other,it's as if either profile is deleted.The only time you'll be able to see their name is if they're an admin in a group,but the name will be unclickable.
M:You can still see their profile,but they can't see yours.It's also little faster step-wise to block someone too.
Status Updates
F:You can see all their recent updates,and you can comment and/or like them.It's alot easier to hide someone from seeing their updates.
M:You can only see their most current status,but you can see their mood.But if you want to stay current with something you like,you have to look at their bulletin,blogs,and activity stream.
People
F:The people are more then likely to be real because they have to be confirmed into a network by someone that went to the same school as them.
M:There's alot of fake people,and imposters,espically celebrities,and members of famous bands,and people that claim they're models when all they have are pictures of 1 model.There's alot of people that set up fake profiles to get at someone else.Espically little 12 year olds trying to dress up,and act older then they are,and put up sexy photos on their profile,and say they're 15.
In the News
F:Facebook is hardly in the news at all,and there's hardly any bad light.
M:There's alot of bad light like kidnappings,suicides,and cyberbulling.
Names
F:You have to put your real name,and Facebook doesn't allow nicknames,but they allow middle names.If Facebook discovers a nickname in the name,it removes the nickname.
M:You can put whatever name you want,but showing,or even putting your real name is optional.
Profile
F:Profiles are clean,and organized by tabs,and you can add tabs from certain applications.
M:They can be from a jumbled mess of words,and images to organized,clean,and professional,but there's no set,defined profile.
Searching
F:You can easily find someone because you can search workplace,region,or school.
M:Finding someone is iffy because you have to know what town they put,if they didn't make 1 up,their profile name,and you can only search within 5-10 miles,10-20 miles,etc.It makes it more difficult if you put their name because they might not of put in a name at all.
