i agree with clerks last comment, facebook does suck at user feedback & i think they’re arrogant as hell, but myspace is the king for promo tools you must admit – i have over 100,000 friends on myspace that i leverage to promote my record label & artists. I hear there’s a new site coming out soon that won’t even leave a trail next to the likes of twitter & that is far more engaging then the outstanding two sites. I guess we’ll just keep an eye out till that one opens /

Facebook is better or maybe just because it is newer. Social networking is just like fashion, people flock to the new ones…

To me, myspace is much more fun but has been overdone…since they forget the No 1 rule in branding is focus. They have done too much that diluted the brand image.

Facebook is more boring but a better focus on social communication, being easy and simple.

They should truly get rid of the data warehouse manager at myspace, who had at least 5 employees of hers complaining about the hierarchies she created and she tried to fail purposefully employees not in her favor, like those who doesn’t know how to joke or flatter her to her expectations.
Under her control of information and knowledge flow, those employees out of the loop will not be able to do the work correctly and she has been providing wrong data to executives for months due to her fault.

Sooner or later, the upper management will find out how this manager is operating her own bureaucracy and hurting the company performance… employees don’t fail; the manager fails them!

Read an article by Owen Thomas as early as Mar 17 2009 predicting Chris’s leave. I can’t believe it is becoming true after a month.

Anyway hope Chris do well in whatever it is.

Seriously. How do you people claim Facebook is on the up and up. Let’s see, Oct 2007 Facebook was valued at $15 billion dollars. Currently, they are valued at $2 billion. Who needs the miracle? MySpace, who continualy poors in millions from advertisers, or Facebook who prefers to dig their own graves with their anti-user sentiment and lack of financial understanding?

spam is down 90% on myspace, while facebook is all buddy buddy with the koobace worm. try changing your pw often if you are paranoid about account security. and how bout this, DONT ANSWER MESSAGES FROM PEOPLE FROM NIGERIA.

but really, how can u call myspace pathetic when spam and TROJANS have increased at such an alarming rate on Facebook. but let me guess, to you, some way, some how, it’s “still worth it.”

yeah isn’t it real cool having your mom stalk your facebook pages? there will always be youths who will be drawn to myspace, while all the old people at facebook die off. and by clean, i think you mean completely bland and boring and zero personality. dont blame myspace on slow loading images, blame your internet connection. i have lowest level cable and things load just as they always have, well.

yeah and facebook has what, $300 million left? funny how serious advertisers like paying myspace more than facebook. myspace is currently expanding a stupid fast pace, while facebook is the perfect supplement to the apple sheep. remember “facebook music?” Oh, you don’t? LMFAO.

lol. It’s purely a throwaway account. Use it for spamming TC with comments, etc. Seriously though, it was a FB page built into hotmail. So they are working on something. I got the feeling that FB becoming a MS property is already in motion.

myspace didn’t “start this” – I’m pretty sure Orkut was around first. MySpace was the first social network to get realy large.
