Facebook vs. MySpace

Facebook v. MySpace

By Jordon Lakin
Chelsea High School, Grade 12

I am not a fan of Facebook, but I am an addicted MySpace user.

I first joined MySpace my freshmen year in order to have more contact with my friends while on I was on vacation or during the weekends. I didn’t know what I was getting myself into. I thought it was so cool that you can do so many things on it -- like making your page your very own by finding a cute layout that you like, posting a favorite song and putting up cute pictures. It's also a good way to talk to your friends whenever they are on. If they aren’t on-line you can leave them a funny comment or a message.

I decided to join Facebook because I heard people talking about it and I wanted to see what the hype was all about. To be honest, at the time I wasn’t impressed, and to this day I’m still not.
