Do you prefer Facebook over Myspace?

[jonks]

Do you find that the obnoxious layouts, pushed music videos, garish and flashing graphics, proliferation of fake profiles and overall sense of nausea that permeates Myspace caused you to switch or choose Facebook instead? Well, that's because you're a racist naturally.

Boyd compared two popular social-networking giants: Facebook and MySpace. She found that whites, the educated, the rich and the tech-savvy were ?more likely to leave?or choose?Facebook.? Teenagers used words like ?ghetto,? ?barely educated,? ?obnoxious? and ?lower class? to describe users of MySpace. This division may have its roots in the Ivy League-origins of Facebook, and in the entertainment-focused nature of MySpace. Or in the way that euphemisms for blackness are often used to mean variations on the idea of ?not good.? But it amounts to what Boyd terms ?modern day ?white flight.??

On a more serious note I have no objection to studying the social demographics and trends online, it actually makes for an interesting read. But historically, the "white flight" of white families who fled urban centers for the suburbs was in part due to the "there goes the neighborhood" sentiment, which identified strongly with race. Myself, as little as I use Facebook, it has everything to do with Myspace pages giving me seizures, and nothing to do with race.

I only use myspace to follow respective artists in the UK because it is very big there for showcasing music.

Facebook is much cleaner and I only use it to check with friends rarely...

too many N_GGERS in facebook!

Why'd you say that. Does it make you feel cool?

 

[ElFenix]

myspace is the new geoshitties. flashing graphics, autoplaying music, bad backgrounds, moving text. it's the internet that time thankfully killed, come back to haunt us. the only thing that would make it worse is frames.

 

[frostedflakes]

You're all a bunch of racist crackers.

 

[TehMac]

Err, myspace has been cleaned up quite a bit.

Yup. Some days I believe that Myspace employs censors to make sure that no page will ever appear there that doesn't look as if someone went on a bender with Mad Dog 20/20 and chili nachos then puked on your monitor.

I disagree, I think there's too many naggers on myspace, always getting spam emails. Facebook lets me deselect all that crap and only show my profile to who I wish.
