DISQUS

Charl · 2 years ago

I wouldnt really compare the two services

Off course they are similar but Myspace is more for meeting people, facebook is used for keeping track of your friends or organizations

Rory · 2 years ago

The problem is just that: what's the point of meeting people if you can't keep track of anything they do? I've made more friends on Facebook than I have on MySpace - not because Facebook encourages it, but because MySpace is just impossible to use well.

Manuela · 2 years ago

The guy Ben Gold is obviously someone who works for Facebook!
I'm not agree with what he said, I'm using both sites and Facebook is the one that let me down most!Talking about privacy, to find friends I have to give my EMAIL ADDRESS PASSWORD, while Myspace you can just type any email and the search find straight away your friend!The groups and applications in Facebook are all very silly and childish, I don't find funny throw food to my friends!
Myspace is great for meeting new people, Facebook is not, for keeping in touch with my existing friends I rather use messenger or write them an email...
ps. I don't have spam problem with Myspace, find another excuse to slag it off!
I find Facebook is just for insignificant people desparate to scream "I'm not using Myspace", that's it!

Sean · 2 years ago

I've got to agree with you on this one.. I recently joined Facebook after they rolled out their dev platform, and I've been nothing less than impressed! The clean layout of the site, and the undeniable utility of the services they offer are the selling points for me.

I also recently joined MySpace, and after three weeks of spam and layouts that make me want to gouge my eyes out, I'm trying to get out. If only they would send that cancellation confirmation they keep promising :/

So.... how does Xanga stack up against these two? :)

moataz · 2 years ago

I'm a facebook fan but this post was way too subjective. A tie for customization?? Myspace obviously wins regardless of whether YOU think the resulting pages are ugly.

Rory · 2 years ago

You're forgetting the ability to customize content ON your Facebook page - for me, that's more important than CSS, say. So it's a tie rather than a clean win.

Aubrey Island · 2 years ago

Know what I hear all my friends saying? That they don't browse myspace because the "codes" keep breaking thier computer... And it's slow.

Customization is good, but everything has to be done in moderation, and myspace let's people "be" people instead of appear as a person- know what I mean?

Ben Gold · 2 years ago

I think people are getting confused. I'm not saying Myspace Sucks and is useless. I have friends who still love myspace, I've just found facebook to be better. It's my opinion, we all have our own.

RYK · 2 years ago

this is the kind of analysis that gives stonewashed tattered jeans a 1/10 and a stiff suit a 10/10....

TSB · 2 years ago

Is this some marketing scam?
Because in my opinion MySpace is way better, and none of my friends in my list (+2k) even have (or know) Facebook.

Facebook just DREAMS they could be as big as MySpace, and its never going to happen.

Apollo! · 2 years ago

Do you actually know those 2k people?

studio34 · 2 years ago

Wow - you're sooo popular. Give me a break.

Al · 2 years ago

Yea and i am sure that you went through and asked everyone of your 2k+ supposed friends if they heard of facebook not likly i am sure half of them know of it.
Frankly i Myspace has gotten crappy in my opinion because of all of the spam. I still have it only because a few people that i know have only that.

Kathy · 1 year ago

I know this is over a year later, but.. oh boy, can I have the honors of saying - YOU'RE WRONG!

Hehehe.

Whitman · 2 years ago

MySpace may not LOOK as good as Facebook, but it's the one people will keep on using. Why is there so much debate about which network is better? It's okay to have two really good ones out there.

Jennifer · 2 years ago

The #1 gripe with Myspace is the spam. It's unbearable, and most of my friends have now started ignoring all friend requests and only add each other by exchanging IDs offline or via another 'net medium (chat, etc). It beats the concept of meeting new people.

Myspace can implement the rel="nofollow" attribute to links, which will cut down on a lot of SEO spam. They can also add captchas and limit posts to N every N minutes. It's silly to think a human will (let alone can) send 100 messages within a few seconds. At least go this route until the spam problem is dealt with.

lucker · 2 years ago

myspace launched some antispam features on wednesday last week. they made some big announcements. i haven't been spammed since.

Dan Brown · 2 years ago

Spam is the main problem with myspace, and nowadays captcha means nothing to people but it is still really hard to bypass, so it's surprising that they don't add this.

Also, it would be really great if myspace would release an api, but this clearly will never happen because aside from the fact the owners want to keep their hands on all the information for themselves; myspace don't really seem to care about good coding.

Ben,

Its interesting that the clear winner of your analysis, Facebook, seems to be lagging the clear loser, Myspace, on the two metrics that matter the most:

Revenue: $350m vs $150m
Users: 67m vs 22m in the US alone (FB has a greater % of US users than Myspace does)

seo ranter · 2 years ago

facebook wins hands down. now that they opened to outside developers we should be seeing a whole lot of new apps.

myspace is ugly, the profiles are ugly and too much spam.

Norman · 2 years ago

ifyouknowyoulljudge · 2 years ago

All social networking is a disease. No one REALLY has any more than 50 true friends. Go out and meet some real people.

Andrew R. · 2 years ago

Jeremy, Facebook is really excellerating in growth, up 10.5 million from 7 months ago. MySpace hardly seems to be beating their chests about numbers anymore because their growth seems to have stagnated.

donny · 2 years ago

myspace has never beat its chest about anything. they've been incredibly lowkey in the press. they, however, grew by 3 million users in their comscore ratings, as did facebook this month. myspace is about 3 times the size of facebook.

Isaac · 2 years ago

I would love facebook too probably if I could actually join it.
I requested my high school to be added to the network weeks ago, and nothing new has happened.

They actually opened up quite a while ago.

Aaron Brazell · 2 years ago

ah, well there's your first problem! :-) Actually, I didn't see a whole lot of parallels but I did have 5 emails last night asking me why Mashable wasn't providing any credit. So I asked. Anyways, I agree with you... Facebook really is cleaning up against MySpace. And for the record, this is the post on my site (nofollowed to prevent the appearance of spamming).

jams · 2 years ago

MySpace annoys the heck out of me with its constant bugs and hassles, but I just can't stand the look of Facebook. It's orderly, yes, but so are tax forms. The only Facebook feature that MySpace could use is the friend update feed. Everything else is just Web 2.0 nonsense -- is anyone really aching to add "apps" to their MySpace? Even 12 year old jugalos can figure out how to add an iLike widget to their MySpace or use picnik.com.

tyangsta · 2 years ago

I think the market for myspace will always remain broader than facebook - meaning you'll find more teens, elders, non-college grads using myspace creating a "truer" (and perhaps more diluted and less focused) network. Facebook still has somewhat of an ivy league / corporate feel too me that would intimidate me if I didn't go to either a tier 1 school (GED vs Harvard?) or work at a fortune 50 company (Denny's vs Microsoft?).

I was always a fan of the Facebook design, but it appears that the interface is much more cluttered now. Yes, they still have the nice white background, pastel blues, and sans serif text but they also have, on some of my friends' profiles, 12 to 16 content sections since the introduction of the apps. A lot of the valuable information is pushed way below the fold and the lack of color makes it hard for me to scan through information.

budds · 2 years ago

I hate the mess of MySpace but I think your article is rather biased. I think Facebook and MySpace are fundamentally different in their approach to social networking least of all they are made for different age groups!

Harold · 2 years ago

Try friendango.com, it has the flexibility of myspace with the neatness of facebook.

Gregory Talon · 2 years ago

I find this comparison totally useless...
Myspace and Facebook are pretty different...
Compare them on a usage basis instead of just webdesign...

For most of people myspace is really easier to use cause it's almost 183 000 000 versions of the same page and they use to manage it everyday... Myspace can't bemore beautifull than facebook and for everybody on, it's not ugly cause it's made by them... Don't forget that...

In terms of music there is no comparison...
Nobody cares about music on Facebook...
Facebook is not entertainment & passion oriented as Myspace...

By now...

Travis · 2 years ago

Ok well I love myspace I hate facebook everyone I know dont have one and I really dont like the way it looks and about the spam thing wait until facebook gets big they will get spam some way you might not think they can but they will

manny · 2 years ago

myspace rapidly grew to be the largest site on the internet in terms of page views. in 3 years it passed yahoo. they've had to deal with scaling problems the last year. you haven't seen many foward-facing improvements because they've been slowly and steadily fixing the errors/server problems. now that they've solved the scaling issue, they're working on new features. they are still 3 times larger than facebook world wide. i wouldn't count myspace out just yet.

p.s. there's also no evidence that users will stick with one site only. almost all my friends used myspace first and some have tried a facebook account. i dont know anyone who's given up myspace because they started using facebook.

The Fixer · 2 years ago

I have a Myspace account but it's so hard to take Myspace seriously. I have just been looking for a true social networking home now that Tribe seems to be faltering.

It looks like Facebook is going to be my new primary social network.

The way I would put it, is that Facebook is the social network for smart people. Everybody else, welcome to Myspace.

The Fixer

Gordon · 2 years ago

I'd have to agree with a lot of the negative MySpace comments. I'm sure it's great for certain things such as promoting a band, but there's a lot of irritations.

The spam, the difficulty of "us[ing] MySpace well", the frustrating search, and just the lowest-common-denominator feel of MySpace keep me from using it much.

It seems like most folks' attitude is they may be on MySpace because everyone else is, but they don't really like it that much (sounds kind of like Windows, actually).

I've just tried Facebook recently since all the praise for the f8 rollout, and so far I'm not that impressed with the overall interface.

I think if you could somehow combine Facebook's networking, Xanga's visual appeal and LiveJournal's communities and blogging, that might be about right, but there's really no single social networking site that's really impressed me so far.

"The way I would put it, is that Facebook is the social network for smart people." Hmm... that's an interesting thought.

Paul Grzymkowski · 2 years ago

You think facebook is easier to use than myspace?

One reason I don't regularly use facebook is I have to search like 5 minutes to find whatever feature I'm looking for.

And as for their facebook platform or whatever, it's pretty lame.

The privacy of Facebook is bad, to find old friend I have to give my email address PASSWORD??
Then what about put your full name and birthday in your profile, don't you think this is a useful tool to INTERNET FRAUD??

Rory · 2 years ago

I live in Sydney Australia, I play in a fairly popular band and I know one person who uses Facebook. Facebook will never ever beat Myspace, because do you really think that every band is going to bother going over to Facebook, and then onto something else when some new competitor comes around? Give me a break!

Facebook is for nerds - it looks like it's for people who work at a desk, cut the crusts off their sandwiches and their Mother still buys their underwear for them. Myspace got in first - and that's that.

Ed ward · 2 years ago

My mum buys me lovely pants thank you very much, and the crusts give me indigestion so... Anyway, it's true that i've just starting using FB and found it loads better than myspace but only because more of my old school friends are on there. I still use Myspace to see what music is on around my area. Hang on a minute, i could use both of them, one to speak to me friends and the other check out what music is on! I think myspace is more geared up for music don't you, especially as i'm not actually friends with the bands i listen to.... love the bloated desk working special pants boy xx

Wes · 2 years ago

Myspace Hands down Fuck u research people

bri · 2 years ago

im sorry but this whole thing sounds kind of biased from the beginning. honestly- i think they are both lame, but facebook obviously requires much less creativity and offers only basic customization. Also, I dont think I want all my friends to have a little 'news story' whenever i post on someone's wall.

lindalovelace69@gmail.com · 2 years ago

this article is clearly biased!!! its total BS and hence very bad journalism! on the very few occaisions where Myspace win a round ie. music... it is preceded with an "only just" -- for music! c'mon give me a break "hands down" would be more appropriate.

Rorison Meadows · 2 years ago

I'm sorry, but can you search facebook for hot chicks in your area? It's a lot harder. Case and point. Why not just do both?

Pete · 2 years ago

Sorry guys and gals,

although facebook has the so called edge on myspace I'll be sticking with myspace. I have an account on facebook and find it very intrusive, they want to know everything about you, the ins and outs of your life let alone everyone who adds you as a friend.

No I don't want that, my life has nothing to do with facebook and as soon as I find out how to delete myself, I will have great pleasure in deleting it.

Alan · 2 years ago

Forget Facebook. The new threat for MySpace is YUWIE.. you get paid when people view your profile. Clever idea, giving advertising revenue back to the user. You also get paid for the profile views of people you refer. Check it out here.

Msmiley · 2 years ago

hey i checked it out but all i see is alot of people trying to make friends to get paid this sucks it takes away the person of friend networking just like a paramid thing you see online i would rather not waste my time. The time you would get close the the number you would have to put in alot of work to do so a waste of time in my book if you want to try to get people to join that site to make money good luck. not for me
no thankyou..

Mark

Msmiley · 2 years ago

ok i have both sites myspace and facebook and you can argue about this issue until we are blue in the face but it all comes down to what the person likes. If you think about it most people have a myspace page becasue one of thier friends have one. Most people have facebook becasue they are in college or highschool and thats the thing to do and i also made a facebook becasue i wanted to keep in touch with my brother in college but they both have their pro's and con's it depends on what you consider better. I have to admit i dont get myspace spam like i used to they have really cleaned that up from what i can see b/c about a year ago i got a virus from the site. But one thing alot of people dont think about myspace and facebook is how many people have both. But to argue on what which one is crazy is dumb it just depends on what type of person you are. For instance my brother isn't into listening to music when looking up a profile and he likes the cleaner look so he like's facebook. Me i like myspace over facebook but both of them do have their advantages but i like profiles with music i my page and started using it before facebook. Its like comparing ps3 to xbox 360 it depends on what you like. So for one person to give a rating like this is dumb you either like or dont.

thankyou
Mark

Dave · 2 years ago

I think the first mistake the author makes in this article is trying to compare these services. Facebook and MySpace may have started with a similar purpose, but evolution has clearly taken over and they have very little in common today.

As far as relegating MySpace to the domain of highschoolers, I dont think that will be true for much longer. High School kids are leaving MySpace in droves in favor of FaceBook. FaceBook seems much more adept at helping people keep in touch with certain peer groups- people they either already know or have an association with through school or work.

I think that's great, but it's nothing I have any interest in. I run an international film festival and I use MySpace on a daily basis. It is an excellent tool for locating filmmakers in particular genres and geographical locations- something you just can't do on FaceBook.

I'll be the first to admit the search tools on MySpace leave a LOT to be desired. The whole system is designed like an old Russian battleship- all clunky and non-intuitive. It's like they hired a computer science undergrad to create it over a weekend and paid him in beer.

Nevertheless, MySpace is an invaluable marketing tool, and I really believe that's where its future lies. As far as I'm concerned, I'm glad Facebook exists, so that High Schoolers have some other place to go.

Yayiei · 1 year ago

w_webmaster · 1 year ago

There are many social networking services operated like Orkut.com, MySpace, Facebook, etc. Orkut.com is being operated by Google. MySpace is an online community that lets you meet your friends' friends. These are popular sites especially among youths. Here people come into contact with each other and build up relations whether personal or business. There is a provision of creating a private community on MySpace and share photos, journals and interests with your growing network of mutual friends. We can judge the popularity of these sites by seeing their ranking in Alexa. Orkut has been steadily rising on the Alexa charts but MySpace is still significantly bigger than Orkut.com.

NorcalChick · 1 year ago

Ok does Ben Gold work for Facebook? Cause this sounds like a complete biased opinion. Myspace has been the top Social Network for quite a while, and it probably always will be. Facebook should just learn how to deal with being number 2.
I've been using Myspace for 4 years and the only problem I've had was with spam. But I found out how to ignore it and it just stopped coming. The comment on here where they said the customization is bad, well thats the users choice, not myspace and they shouldn't be graded on that.
Myspace is extremely easy to navigate on. I mean it spells in English (or whatever language you speak) HOME BROWSE SEARCH MUSIC VIDEOS etc. How is that difficult? Do you not realize what that means? I mean really it is really easy. So just deal with not being the best and understand that myspace is the best.

I have an account with both, but I never bother searching for friends in MS that I have in FB, because they never seem to be on MS!! Also, FB lets you search by last/first name alone. MS needs the whole name. :(

Joshua E. Hrouda · 1 year ago

Manuela, you don't HAVE to enter your password to find friends, it's only there to save you time. You can manually type in everyone from your e-mail address book/contacts list, if you want. But when there's hundreds, you wouldn't bother. You'd only go the most important ones.

As for you needing to enter your full date of birth... you don't HAVE TO!! You can enter as little or as much as you choose.

I hope this helps.

resli · 1 year ago

what the guy said somewhere up there

facebook is for true social communication and real relationships.

myspace is for promotions, loners, and fake friends.

Manuela · 1 year ago

I agree with Dave,Gregory Talon and Norcal Chick up there.I have both account, with FB and MS and I dont want to argue like a child which toy is better.
I use FB to stay in contact with friends from my city and MS for the same and abroad.

However while in MS I can write blogs, listening to music, browsing through profiles and watch video, in FB I have absolutely nothing to do.
Ben Gold and others says that the profiles in MS are ugly and messy because of html and pictures, what about the one in FB full of useless application that are just made to forward them as much as possible???

Joshua Hrouda, an email address is unique, how can get hundreds by a search??on MS you can do search by name, display name and email, since when by the whole name (which is not required on MS, but compulsory on FB?).
People before jump into your own conclusion, check properly.

Myspace has much freedom than Facebook.

Manuela · 1 year ago

ps. Now on myspace you can tag people, see updates from your friends and block the unwanted request from certain people, plus no spam anymore...how cool is that??

I got the feeling Facebook is becoming more like Myspace was (full of highschoolers filling the profile with all sort of crap) and Myspace is getting the few good things Facebook has!

How funny, Facebook is destroying itself!

Manuela · 1 year ago

"The way I would put it, is that Facebook is the social network for smart people. Everybody else, welcome to Myspace.

Smart people, ie. people paying $1 to give a "gift" to a friend, put personal details into the profile or to do a test which the aim is to forward it to your friends....great, very smart!!

http://blog.myspace.com/cybergirl

Laura · 1 year ago

I can not believe that people would even compare myspace and facebook.
Facebook gets all the credit just not allowing people to edit how their pages look. Ok, honestly, that is a good option, but in a world where everyone knows how to design.
But obviously, the “amazing” templates that people use in myspace which usually don’t even support firefox messes up every single profile. I’ve seen profiles where I have to select all just to be able to read what’s writing.

There is a huge quality gap between myspace and facebook. And with the addition of the platform, that gap has become even more.

Oh and myspace with all the spam! I’m wondering when people will be tired of adding fake girls with their cleavage as profile pics.

Consuelo · 1 year ago

I also joined Facebook because they told the people there are more intelligent...I couldn't really notice that. Those clever people that cannot work out basic HTML on Myspace so they leave. You join a group, start a discussions and nobody contributes on it.There aren't blogs. Most of the people spend time doing useless applications, post semi naked pics from a drunken party and updated their status. There is a huge curiosity around, looks like you keep your profile not to describe yourself, but just to let others know your stuff and what you are doing.

Better Myspace, less stalkers around.

thatguy · 1 year ago

some of this stuff is old or inaccurate and it was clearly biased towards facebook...

one thing bothered me tho... myspace friend accepting is not a one click process... its two just like facebook, and myspace lets u know when u have a new friend also...

also messaging is not close to equal facebook's popup messaging tool and chat feature beats myspace by a long shot

overall i agree that facebook is tons better but not for all the reasons stated...

however this is an old topic so it cant be accurate anymore...

Tom · 1 year ago

Facebook is just the new trend.

You can control Myspace spams by putting up protection such as the option for 'entering your last name' or setting it to captcha mode.

I prefer myspace, I got my captcha on it and I don't get spam, and I add the friends I know. Facebook maybe cleaner but its dull in my opinion. At least with myspace you can personalize it more with the layouts. You get new music from artist, blogs from celebrities etc. This article was totally biased. Where facebook went wrong was they opened it to everybody, which myspace is already like that but you could do more with myspace.

If you just want to connect with old friends then use Facebook. I don't really get why people think Myspace is more hard to navigate, those are the people who claim more intelligent people use facebook. I don't care to stay in touch with the people from school so Myspace is better for me to meet new people.

Axwell · 1 year ago

Facebook is boring! If I really wanted to play electronic snakes and ladders with people I went to school with 15 years ago then maybe Facebook might appeal. But as a musician and music lover who enjoys expressing myself and finding out about other people's creativity, MySpace is by far and away the winner. Every time I look at Facebook it makes me feel about 1000 years old. It's too square! MySpace is funky and colourful with all sorts of different music that I wouldn't have ever heard of. Facebook seems really stuffy and cliquey. I love it when a band I've never heard of adds me as a friend (www.myspace.com/peakcity if you want to add me lol), I always check out their page and sometimes just might find myself buying their music. So a thousand votes for Myspace.

Well I love using Facebook more than Myspace because I can easily connect with old friends or classmates for the whole site is organized by schools and right now by locations also. If they have an account on Facebook, whether or not i forgot there names, I can still locate them easily.

MySpace has come a long way since this post. Most of the things that Facebook had over them at this point have been eliminated. Anyhoo, this is really slanted toward Facebook in the first place because on most of the ones where MySpace should have won (PROFILE) you just gave them a tie so Facebook would keep the lead.

Myspace is clearly more enjoyable because you can set up the kind profile design u want, as for facebook what can u do but look at the same old boring look day in and day out and yes some pros on myspace can look freakish but at least they can make it suited to thier own personalities and not be borged and forced to join the collective of same tired profile appearance as the rest on that site!! lol

Then again, wouldn't the enjoyment more or less come from which website rewards you with more activities, socially speaking.

If you get more responses, comments, etc from Myspace obviously you would choose Myspace over Facebook anyday, the same can be said for Facebook if you received more activity from that.

Alot of people don't care about the profile appearance, that's a subjective matter. And a lot of people do not have the skills for Myspace in terms of HTML coding unfortunately so Myspace at times is not as user-friendly. I prefer Myspace anyday but unfortunately my majority of social-networking peers focus on Facebook, naturally I would also follow suit.

No offense but this review is extremely biased.

The privacy function on both sites varies quite alot, unfortunately I think Facebook loses in this case. In the example of my friend, she was unfortunate enough to be tagged in a photo that was followed with quite a nasty comment afterwards, because of how Facebook sends an e-mail about everything that goes on, it was certainly an unpleasant event. That and the fact that you can read your friends conversations so openly is another worrying factor.

Myspace I believe needs more guidance, and interactivity to become more interesting. I'm personally more of a fan of Myspace because of it's ability to be more of a creative input but there is no denying the wave of Facebook users loving the clean layout, I myself am a user of both. If I could I'd get everyone back onto Myspace simply for the more unique output it has.

I just think this review was extremely biased and subjective, there is no point reviewing something and using one's opinions as the facts. At least provide a more thorough understanding of why one wins over the other instead of saying, 'it looks better'.

Regardless, an interesting read altogether

Myspace forever. I just like that i can design and code my page. I have a facebook page but i never go there because its not user friendly and all the pages look the same. I guess thats why they call it facebook. No freedom book.
From my point of view i think Facebook is way behind.

Haha, thats funny. The way I see it ... myspace is for high school kids, hoping to get to college (or not), facebook for smarter high schoolers, perhaps for college freshies w/ too much time on their hands, post college/higher education where time matters, go w/ cestagi :)

I think that there is no winner. On myspace you can customize your profile and use different codes. On facebook it is more simple and organized. Myspace is mostly for teenagers or high school kids. Facebook is more for adults and stuff. Both sites are designed for communicating with your friends and family.They both do a pretty good job doing that. But both sites are different by the apps, costumization, and the people who are on it. Both myspace and facebook are generally the same.
