Ultimately, I think Facebook wins. They are a college student based empire and is a more "mature" tool to get on than Myspace as seen from a college student. Plus, Myspace has opened itself up to viruses, spammers, and many dangerous things. That's a huge turn off to me. Myspace is often slow and has so many technical difficulties its hard to do much. Music and customizing are the things Myspace does have going for it.

Aye, Facebook. MySpace is great if you're into virii, molesters and morons. Twitter is ... well, it's twitter. Hardly what we can call "social networking." Hell, BC is better for that than twitter.

I'd have to say Facebook. Myspace just hurts my head with the appalling design and music that starts on each page.

The other nice thing about Facebook is that I can just import my blog entries automatically and have them display on my page. You can't do that with MySpcae.

The Facebook interface is getting a bit cluttered though.

Most people can very quickly grasp how to use Facebook to connect to friends and family, using it to share thoughts, Like MySpace but more geared to adults than teens, Facebook is a social networking Portal; beckoning you not to leave but rather to stick around and communicate within the network.

Twitter on the other hand, encourages you grab ideals in byte-size chunks and use your updates as jumping off points to other places or just let others know what you’re up to at any given moment.

Definitely Facebook... actually just deleted my old MySpace account. Since getting Facebook, I jut hadn't really gone on there in years and all my friends were on Facebook now, so what was the point of keeping it. Also, MySpace feels like some sort of pedophile - teenager dating network. Creepy, lol. I have Twitter... but honestly, I don't think I really get it.

i think you ordered them accordingly.

myspace is too messy and i haven't used twitter that much yet...so far, i think it's pretty stupid.
