I have profiles on both and don't really like either lol

I had a MySpace profile, then I signed up for Facebook...and that made me realize just how silly MySpace is (in comparison). So I got rid of my MySpace account and have onlt Facebook now.

I do go back to MySpace sometimes, but only once in a while. For instance, sometimes I'll hear a song I like and I want to check out what else that band has to offer. Or sometimes MySpace will feature interesting video content, like new stuff from particular comedians.

Most of my friends on Myspace are musicians, so when they have a new cd or are on tour I can listen or plan on going to a show.

I really enjoy Facebook, myself. I've been in touch with so many people from different eras of my life, and the best part is that I don't have to really go out of my way to keep in touch with them! How perfect is THAT for hermit-like me?

I can just update my life, look at others' updates and photos, make little comments here and there. So nice. Between that and twitter, I can actually keep people in my life, for once.

MySpace seems a bit more youthful and personality driven? I don't have an outpost there but will at some point, so that I can at least be able to write about it. lol

Jeanette, what did you not like about them? Just curious.

So far, Facebook is in the lead!

I have yet to sign on to either one. From the posts, I get the impression that MySpace is for a much younger group and Facebook is for a more mature group. What are the pros and cons of both?

Chloe I'd say to some extent that is true. MySpace also lends itself to people with bands and are involved in the music scene. It's good for celebrity stuff.

Myspace is more customizable as far as page layouts, and some people find that really fun. You can make it more bloggy than Facebook.

I don't really like MySpace for me; I'm a Facebook fan. I am not big on the silly stuff Facebook offers, like sending plants and joining groups, but i do use it to keep in touch with family, see pictures people have uploaded and stay in the loop on what friends are doing.

Does anyone else have any experiences with either Myspace or Facebook that they wish to share? What do you use it for?

I use both MySpace and Facebook but I tend to prefer MySpace. I like the blogs, for one thing. I like the music, too. Facebook is always sending me stupid things like tha blasted lil green patch and I get annoyed with having to ignore them. On the other hand, I have gotten back in touch with some high school and college friends thanks to Facebook. I think MySpace encourages conversation more, though.
