Yeah, I always thought myspace was cool, but never really knew the history of Friendster. Glad to know the background now

The best part of Myspace is the music services — I can listen to what all my friends are making. (And quite possibly it’s the music service that’s made Myspace look cool.)

I prefer Friendster mostly because I’ve found about 10 times as many of my friends on it as I have on MySpace.

And yet MySpace seems so promiscuous to me. All of my Friendsters are people I met in the real world before making them my Friendsters. Although if I met someone on Friendster and made friends online I would then add this person to my Friendster list.

It seems most “friends” on MySpace are people who have never met in the real world (that’s fine) and actually never even met online (wtf?) Just read the comment galleries on the pages of really “popular” people. They have hundreds of comments saying nothing more than “Thanks for the add” and sometimes brief personal introductions. MySpace connections often seem so loose to me as to be meaningless.

(The second part of the “Thanks for the add” routine that irks me is that that’s basically a personal message from one person to another. Why is it posted in the comment gallery?)

MySpace is its own world and I’m not going to try to impose how I think it should be used on all the people who use it, but it sure gives me a headache sometimes.

maybe its the names. i mean, friendster sounds kind of needy doesn’t it. something for people that don’t have friends. myspace on the other hand, is a club of one, and you’re in control of who comes in.
