In the past 7 hours I’ve received 12 friend requests on MySpace, mostly from models in the nude and non-nude business alike. None of whom I’d ever heard of let alone met. Some of them were dudes! That’s bad news bears as far as I’m concerned. Want to take a stab at how many times this has happened to me on Facebook? You guessed it. It’s never happened… any who, right on brother.

Kelz, you can join Facebook even if you are younger than 18. I joined Facebook when I was still in high school.

ray,

Definitely. MySpace’s lack of privacy is good for spammers to do their business. Facebook just recently released the separate ‘Network’s page’, which can be really useful to talk directly to a large group of people who are all within a certain network, too.

another thing is that myspace has a lot of spammers! its also really hard to network between friends, whereas facebook splits up everyone by a certain network

strongblur,

Yeah, I think a lot of MySpace’s popularity can be attributed to how the media still perceives it as the #1 social networking website.

Wow, 17 for Facebook and none for MySpace… the MySpace is quicky losing the ground as the “most popular” social network site isn’t it?
