I've just been tempted to join up with Facebook after being on myspace now for about a year. I've nevr really been too much of a fan of myspace and found it very hard to navigate around and especially to add new things to my page. It has however, already opened up a few opportunities for me to do some production remix work for people that found me in this manner.
Facebook appears to be much easier to move around in and spares you all the glitz and glamour of the typical myspace stuff. The interface is much plainer, but then again who really needs all that mumbo jumbo stars and flashy stuff that myspace hits you up for unless you're a lonely teenager. It does however include some odd features like applications where you can have a 'food fight' withyour friends or buy them an online 'icecream'.
I also like the fact that it seems as though people's names on facebook are only their real names making it much easier to find people. My brother a few hours ago told me about 20 of our old family friends who he's found on facebook and added them - some of which i had previously looked for on myspace with no luck.

ive not yet used facebook... but i might try it out in the near future!!!
im addicted to myspace.... i use it more then msn and hotmail!!!

PrattyPosted: 17 Oct 2007, 3:46am Lockin shit down.
Theyre both fucking gay. Get a life people.
We know who you are and know what you do. If we dont then we will just ask you when we see you out next. Or maybe even ring you. Imagine that.
This shit is seriously a sickness and anyone who sits there spending hours creating a gay space and then is proud of it cos they can blag up how many myspace friends they have and how many dj's they know need to have a good look at how pathetic they are.
Of course there are SOME very rare situations where myspace is beneficial, like DJ Ben has pointed out but the majority of you myspace freaks have substituted real communication, friendship and real worth while achievemnets with a gay page on the internet.
Got agoraphobia much??
Come on. Go get a job or start a business or spend some real time with people at a BBQ or what ever. Get out from behind that gay myspace that has taken you 4 weeks to build and is constantly requiring updates cos one of ya my space friends has a better page and more international DJ's on it than you. Why spend hours on a wank factor piece of crap that really doesnt have any actual worth unless your a promoter, use it for business or you are selling something.
Is it a Blog or a Blag?
My god.

I agree with Pratty....people please stop sending me invitations to join you on these things...I won't....EVER!!!!

Love them both! I do prefer MySpace tho'
Through MySpace I have discovered so many amazing techno producers from around the world who send me their latest tracks. I stay in touch with people I have not seen for years, and made some wicked friends through it who I catch up with now.
Facebook is cool, coz it allows me to stay in touch with my family who are scattered all over the world ... plus of course you can have zombie and werewolf fights ha ha ha.
Chill Pratty! :-)
Outdoors...All Night...ahh yeah
both have their uses, although only one is needed. ive got both still as they both have their pro's and cons
facebook does have alot more useless crap in it, ie i dont want to send my friends 'drinks' or stupid things like that, but it is good for finding and keeping in touch with old friends. everyone seems to be on it dating back to your old primary school buddies to the minger you slept with whilst paro back in 2004 at a house party
myspace is good because it limits you to comments messages pic comments etc so none of the wank factor, but the ppl on it are alot more image concious (sp?) and more emo

myspace is so full of spam & phishing - sucks the big one
facebook all the way
bgkPosted: 17 Oct 2007, 9:32am nobody messes with adam we..
im onto facebook now, its a little bit rad - people are generally friendly and i think its a true 'networking' tool. myspace not so much - i find the general vibe to be a bit mtv\wank.

ENCHANTED 07!!!
some ppl use one and not the other, hence why im on both. easier to find ppl u no on face book coz of real name value!........ to start withi was dead against facebook because i think its alot harder to grasp initially, but once u get used to it i beleive its much better and has alot more useful functions, for example the whole group forums are much better to navigate and post in.
we are now seeing myspace copy alot of from facebook in order to keep up!
I also enjoyed the stock standard layout of the thing so no noob could make a ugly page and hurt my eyes every time i go to it, however since that conclusion ive seen ppl add 1 million applications to their page which can look just as messy.
Bom Chicka Wah Wah
Frankly.. i can't really stand either! Myspace is to confusing with all it's bloody codes, and Facebook just has to many applications!
Although i do have a Myspace and Facebook page i hardly use them at all.. i only set them up due to hasselling from friends.

I like Facebook better because of the fact that there hasn't been any hacks like they have on Myspace. PLUS...I actually know all the people in my Facebook account. Myspace is only good to find fellow ravers and add hot randoms.
NakedPosted: 17 Oct 2007, 1:17pm All class!
I've recently just gotten my myspace going and i do enjoy it from time to time...I've come across the first girl I slept with, and also some randoms from my old school whom I'm glad I don't know anymore after seeing their myspace!!
Fuck Facebook, CBF going in to all the trouble again...

ive got both, and they both really are a waste of time but when ur at uni and want to waste ur time they are good. i spent a lot of time overseas last year so i use facebook to keep in touch will all of them, as well as people i dont get to see all the time. i found a guy i went to primary school with on myspace and we have become really good friends because of it. so i guess there are pros and cons to both. however im not someone that sits there for hours and makes everything look pretty, ive got better things to do with my time.

but cant access at work!
grrrrrr

Myspace is heaps easy when you get the hang of it. its great for looking up new DJs and artists and finding the name of that song you keep hearing on the radio. Its only downfalls is that its full of bugs and fag randoms who want to look good by adding you. oh and its full of emo's......we need more ravers on there!! ....i reckon there should be a dedicated Rave Adelaide Face book and myspace.

hate em both on a personal level, havent even visted the facebook website..
myspace i use a heap for marketing and promoting our bands/acts and events.. it has merrit there for sure...
but those of u who send out fucking bulletins whinging really need to get out more.
beautiful world out there!

I like myspace for the layouts and control you have over HTML and the fact everyone is on there!
But facebook is better for all the fun applications! way more stuff to do.
:nerd:

i'm going to keep using myspace as a networking tool. but i like facebook for keeping in touch with friends. i like the photos application! it may be different to picking up a phone and calling your friends, but it's the 21st century guys, communication via the internet is definitely going to become a way of life, just like how using the phone would have replaced letter writing and visits in person to some extent. i don't think that's necessarily a bad thing.

divertPosted: 20 Oct 2007, 1:31pm Did you touch it?
Facebook is where its at. So much easier to use. More things to do.
MySpace is great for networking or promotion but Facebook is so much better for talking to friends.
dance with me
They should be combined and called MyFace
I'm sick of logging into either to look at messages whenever i get an email. Esp now Facebook is banned at work :-( Just email me people!
jayarPosted: 21 Oct 2007, 3:33pm your folders are 69% full
meh, i couldnt be fucked for either except that myspace has the music network thing going on... been pretty good for initially getting in contact with specific UK DJs who we're promoting or downloading someone esles tunes etc.
facebook looks ok for your mates, but frankly i'd rather just call em and hook up for a beer in real life.
