It appears to me people are abandoning MySpace.com in droves and heading to facebook.com. I have accounts on both. I was a big MySpacer for a time until I got just downright bored with it.
I only started a facebook account because one of my friends was so anti-MySpace. Now, I’m getting college friends (many of them I haven’t talked with for some 15 years). My pageviews on myspace would increase by 50 a day. Now, they hardly notch up that much during a week or a month. Is it that I’m less interesting? Hardly! I just think everyone else is getting tired of what MySpace has to offer as opposed to facebook.
I think people now equate MySpace with tweens and teens. It seems the adults (I’m not sure if I’m one of them yet) prefer facebook. I do like the fact you can customize MySpace but you can’t do the same thing with facebook. I’m up to 85 friends and I don’t even try to expand my list like I once did with MySpace.
When you are out and about, you’ll hear more people talking facebook than MySpace it seems. I can’t believe some of my friends are on facebook. Of course, some of them are strongly encouraged to do so.
Is myspace on the way out?
(yes, I should be sleeping, but for some reason I can’t…)
I have both as well….I’ve had a Facebook account for (what feels like) a couple of years now, but didn’t really start using it until about a year ago, when more and more of my friends started to use it. I really didn’t get/dig Facebook the first time I was on it, after signing up.
I like Facebook because it feels more interactive, and you can share items with people in a way that is easier to track than Myspace bulletins, which I find to be annoying….with the various status and activity updates, it’s also easier to see what your friends are up to in real time.
I dunno – my inner geek likes a lot of things about Facebook, and I find myself using Myspace less and less.
Also, unlike Myspace where I have friends that I don’t know – my Facebook is mostly made up of friends/acquaintances that have tracked me down…feels a bit more personal than Myspace.
That’s my spin on it. I like it.
I have both accounts too, but to me they seem like the two newspapers in major cities. Do you know what I’m talking about? One paper provides the standard W5 for the community with some national coverage, and the second covers sensational stories and lets you know where to get a good deal on a home theatre system and where to hire a hooker. Think NY Times vs the NY Post.
Needless to say MySpace is the later.
If i want to get ahold of my college classmates I use Facebook. Contacting an underage Russian “bride”, that’s a job for MySpace.
Thanks for sending back the award. I don’t know what to say.
