Facebook and MySpace

Facebook and MySpace are social networking sites. They are primarily used for people to add friends and talk to each other. There are more then 400 million facebook users throughout the world. Anyone in any country can accesses facebook and MySpace and get their own account for free.
There are many positives of facebook and MySpace. They are both websites that can be used to organize and share photos. Both websites are constantly changing and adding new features. It is good way to let people know what you are up to, as you can show people what you are doing. Facebook is a better way to find your friends and it is a lot easier. Facebook has much better search engine then Myspace, but they are both good ways of finding your friends. Facebook and Myspace both have pretty good security; Facebook is a little more secure. They both can help you make friends and plan stuff with other people over facebook that you would not normally do.
There are many negatives of facebook and Myspace as well. People use these websites as a way to replace human interaction. It's harder to find new friends on Facebook. The search is meant to only find people who you are already friends with in real life. You can't do an advanced search for people outside of your networks. There are information fields on Facebook and Myspace that could potentially make it easier for people to stalk you if you aren't careful. These fields include your email, phone number, and address. You can hide these from certain users or not enter them at all, but many people probably enter that info without thinking, making available to anyone on their friends list. Finally, as in most social websites there is a big problem with cyber bullying. There are constantly major news stories that have to do with stuff people write on Facebook and MySpace.
Overall Facebook is a better website then MySpace. Facebook has a lot less advertisements then MySpace. There is no one advertising stuff on Facebook yet. People from all different background hold MySpace and Facebook accounts. Anyone from athletes, to actors can hold their own facebook and MySpace accounts.
