People who give a crap about pop culture = generally undecuated. Generally uneducated = ...really, do I have to go into it? Alright fine.. Generally uneducated = a lot of bad things. Therefore, Myspace = a lot of bad things. QED. However, this (statement of fact *cough*) is only my opinion.

Anyone who's arguing about which is better, including myself, is just wasting their time. The reason you use it (make new friends, or keep the old)--and how many of those people actually use it--is what matters here, and everyone has a different purpose in their social networking life. Personally, I like to keep in touch with current friends, and the majority of my 260 friends use Facebook daily instead of Myspace. Therefore, I am more inclined to use Facebook.

I had a facebook account a long time ago with friends, i was part of groups, etc. I stopped going there and when I went back 6 months later I had like 3 new comments at most and 1 new message. Most of the friends I had also stopped spending time there. I did the same thing with Myspace and I had 20 pages of new messages, friend requests, comments, and more. The difference was I left that myspace account only days after making it. People are more active on Myspace and there's more people registered. Who cares about everything else? That's the most important aspect of a social networking site, especially if you are promoting something. I have to agree with you that facebook isn’t as good as everyone says it is.

Facebook is the plain fact that MySpace users are WORTHLESS in comparison! I have maybe 50 friends that all (myself included) signed up on MySpace cause some bastard invited us. About 3 days after, and 900 'Friend invites' by sluts, 12 year olds, and Bots we just stopped caring. MySpace users is not even a way of measuring popularity, hell every damned 'myspace skin' service has 25.000 friends, and every damned teenager has 20 accounts, so whats the value? Facebook on the other hand is a REAL social community, with verifiable users that actually read emails and get friend requests from people they have the slightest interest in contacting. I've been a member from the start and have not ONCE received a irrelevant friends request! MySpace v.s. Facebook? In my opinion its not even a contest, MySpace should be competing with cheap dating sites or teenage communitues (Ok if you sign up ONLY to make money, or contact bands it fills a function).

Obviously if we compare numbers to numbers, myspace is bigger. But Facebook is growing its user base at a faster rate, and it's system isn't as susceptible to some of the crazy spam issues that are just killing Myspace. Yes, I'm apart of the tech crowd, but I am also apart of the music crowd and deal with a whole world of non-tech savvy users who express similar issues with Myspace.
