[melodrama]

Pretty self-explanatory really. Says the Facebook whore.

I still am too confused with facebook. Maybe when Im in uni or something I will make the full transition
Spam is the most annoying thing on Myspace.

I'm on myspace. I checked out facebook yesterday and it looks a lot better. But until more of my friend make the transition, i'm sticking with myspace

Facebook doesn't strain my eyes every few seconds, so yes, facebook it is.

[costargh]

I use MySpace, and I must say I hate it! The site is slow, buggy, ugly, etc. The list goes on - it's a great site to communicate with friends and meet people, however.

I tried signing up to Facebook to see what it's like, but:

a) my high school isn't available and under 18s have to join a high school network.

b) none of my friends use it.

Perhaps when it comes to Uni I will use it.

There's a good reason Facebook wins: usability. Look at your typical* MySpace profile and it's a visual monstrosity. The background is either flashing pink and yellow or it's an annoying tiled image. The font colour is nearly always too similar to the background so it's hard to look at. Plus you usually have five videos playing at once on someone's profile, as well as their favourite song. Combined with a custom cursor, spam consisting of "GET YOUR FREEEE iPHONE!" and "OMFG THANKS FOR THE ADD!!!!1!1111111", content that flows over the sides of the page so the whole visual layout is screwed up, and a cheesy profile picture and you've got a Web 2.0 disaster.

* some people actually make their profiles readable, but most do not.

All signed up to the group. Woo...

Edit: no more melodrama? lols. back to spirited sloth it seems.
