Myspace vs. Facebook
So I was asked by exercise #5 of Web 2.o to compare MMSCL's web pages for each social network website. Clearly I've been a myspace fan for clearly quite some time. I joined facebook later on about 3 months later. To be frank, I think myspace holds much more possibilities and space for you to insert endless amounts of creative applications. Such as your webpage song, a web radio, a digital slideshow for pictures and videos, and even games. More importantly, uploading photos, your daily status, and even things like event date space and blogging, are extremely user friendly and easy for many friends to acess your page to get to know you. I visited both pages, and clearly I think there's too much going on not only on the library's page, but everyone elses as well. With myspace, you can receive important feeds from other friends and not have to be bothered with facebook's eye-gouging fans asking you every five minutes for a petition signing, or join-a-cause request. It's too much time to put my hands in for facebook. Myspace takes the knockout!
So we're here to talk a little about the free social networking or as others call it, 'micro-blogging' service introduced to us through Web 2.0. Personally this program is a waste of time and can make me less productive in my world at home. I feel that Twitter (with it's constant blog status) may become a nuissance to others in the future. The idea of an instant blog or status update is quite dense to the fact that some of our responsibilities may be obliterated. I have no use for this program. What can you speak of every five minutes? " Hey I'm drinking a soda," or even " Oh just breathing and staring at a wall, tell me your thoughts on the Revolutionary War?" You might say that I'm augmenting the social network service downfall, but clearly I have used the program under the library's name and these are the responses I've seen. The stereotypes are to the tee my fellow staff, but I digress.. Let me know your thoughts on Twitter and how you see the better use of it.
