Week 2: Blog #2

I use Facebook about once a day and that is a modest guess at best. i use it mainly to keep up with my friends and also for school, groups and events. When i work with people on group projects, especially new people, things like groups and messaging are extremely useful. I would add feature to watch videos on it sort of like a mini YouTube. There is really not much else i can think of. I am not a huge fan of Timeline, but my main problem with Facebook would be the posts about failed relationships, crushes, and small problems. I think Facebook has survived so long and been so successful because of the seemingly endless possibilities is provides for people socially. Anyone can find people, meet them, get to know them and form a connection whether it personal or professional. The ability to plan events and then invite your friends, form groups for projects, and keep connected is unparalleled among social networking sites.





I never used Myspace for long, not because of Facebook but because after Xanga i was tired of the social network phenomena. That was freshman year of High School and i only recently joined Facebook the beginning of my freshman year here. So, i really don't know what is different between Myspace and Facebook besides that there are definitely more collaborative options and features on Facebook. Nor do i know what could be changed to help improve Myspace besides try to think like a college student with a cocky attitude in a Harvard dorm room. No , even though i hate Facebook because i can't get away from it i won't go back to Myspace anytime soon.
