MySpace Vs. Facebook Vs. No social network at all
Social Networks
(from my MySpace page)
I opened this MySpace account back in 2005 I think, and I haven’t started using it until 3 years later. I guess this shows my love to social networking.
I also have a Facebook account now and more than once I’ve been tempted to close either MySpace or Facebook, but I can’t choose. They sure are easy and fast ways to show photos to your friends, but-uh…
1- I only upload low definition photos to Facebook because of the Distribution Rights issue. Some photos I have printed in the past are obviously not viewable on FB, nor on MySpace. Ya never know…
2- Blog on FB sucks, while it’s doable on MySpace. Though I also have a wordpress blog I’ve been posting on for a while, on my real website. So… Which one do I keep?
3- Most of my friends are either on MySpace or on Facebook (or on both!) and now we don’t write emails anymore, we don’t have much time left to chat on the messengers either, so we resign to send short messages here or on FB.
All in all, social networks don’t really help friends keep in touch. They gradually stop talking. You end up clicking on tv shows you like, become a fan of this or that page, artist, film etc… and your friends get to know you like The Simpsons and Fawlty Towers. But they will eventually just send you some short hello note from time to time. We are all so busy we can’t talk to our friends anymore.
But are we busy with our 3D lives or are we busy with clicking on this or that MySpace / Facebook feature?
Don’t worry guys & gals 
I’m not gonna shut down my accounts. I’m just gonna try and finish building my real website and then link to that. I had a nice idea in mind for my website, but it requires quite some coding and programming. Then I got eye surgery keeping me away from the computer, so… Will be back to programming pretty soon.
Yeah… I knew you couldn’t wait
