Title says it all
Personally l always hated them both but FaceBook as my attention due to it's not filled with soo much garbage that l experienced with mySpace.
Arseniy
I don't use neither of them because I don't like them. So I've got nothing to say here.
LiveJournal is the best Wink

Facebook is a lot more productive than MySpace in my opinion. I cannot see anything MySpace is useful for other than adding people, posting comments, and stalking people. Also there seem to be quite a few serious issues surrounding MySpace, ie. cyber bullying, girl committing suicide after being called ugly, etc.

serious issues or serious stupidity?

cyber bullying for god sake. committing suicide because of anythingon myspace is pathetic

i dislike most social networking. however, i did create an account for facebook for the ability to contact acquaintances i would normally forget existed. also i was really really really bored in the library.

Facebook - it's more professional and isn't filled with badly-made amateur animated gif garbage. It's always a plus when no one has died over it yet.

They both suck, but Facebook isn't as bad as MySpace. Though it's getting there with all those stupid "apps" people add to their page.

i agree. the facebook apps are starting to drag them in the direction myspace went. they were smart in keeping the layout simple. not allowing all these different color choices and customization. but these apps are getting annoying though. the best one is bumper sticker. send some funny stickers to your friends. but some like superwall and what not are annoying.

myspace is just too bloated now. i havent touched mine in a couple of years.

I have never liked myspace...I found the layout confusing and the general appeal is just not there for me. facebook however, is not as bad, its easier to use and I don't feel tooo overwhelmed.

As for the apps....I jsut ignore requests or remove them if theya re a waste of time. I have met and made some great business partnerships through facebook, so I guess its safe to say that I am a bit bais to it Smile

I find myspace just so confusing, and it is also very slow for me. As Arseniy said, LiveJournal for the win. Very Happy
Haelyn
Neither preferencially, honestly.

Both divorce people from actual interaction, and force a constant 'keeping in touch' with people that you really don't know, and wouldn't be interested in keeping in touch with if you had to do it in person. A complete waste of time.

But that's just me. Smile

I also don't use either of them. When my friends wanted me to get MySpace I always declined. But now with facebook out I am starting to have second thoughts. Also MySpace, it seems, is starting to look alot like Facebook. Smile

Facebook has a clean interface and alot less ads.
therevolution
well i have account on both as it seems that facebook is much easier than myspace still i like myspace it is more extended and have many options beside u can edit your profile the way u like
gh0stface
I myself perfer FaceBook. However it's starting to get way to bloated like MySpace. I liked the original clean cut look and feel FaceBook had.

The only other good thing is that FaceBook is rarely ever down and you hardly ever get some error message like with MySpace stating something about server or other ;(
carlospro7
I will never open an account on myspace. The interface is the most annoying I've seen, specially on profiles where the background people choose doesn't have much contrast from the text. So as you are scrolling through people's profiles, can't tell what you are seeing.
I got a facebook account when the interface was a lot cleaner. I have a facebook account because that's how I stay in touch with many old friends. I agree though that it is getting really bloated. I still think it's better than myspace though.
raine dragon
I don't like either, but I'm going to have to say Facebook, because the account I made their due to friends proding me doesn't get nearly the amount of harassment from strangers that the one I made on Myspace due to a teacher requiring it does. XD

I don't actively use either. I only just recently started using facebook as a way to look up my new roommates and classmates at school when I only have their name and can't recall who they are. ^^;
ddoonie
Facebook without a doubt. I never even bothered filling out a profile on myspace, the layout was not very intuitive etc.. Facebook, aside from all those vampires, dopewar nonsense, is quite effective. Myspace in my opinion, seems to be more aimed at a younger crowd now, with all these wall paper options etc... I just want to use it to contact friends from long ago, and thats about it...
Indyan
Myspace is utter junk. Every myspace page is a nightmare and looks like a page from the webs dark days. Pages are littered with silly scripts, loud background audio and irritiating colour combinations.
Kunkstar7
I think I prefer Facebook due to the fact that its a bit cleaner. But the one thing I do like about Myspace is the fact that you can edit your the layout of your profile, as in changing colors and such. So I combine my likes of the two and I use MyYearbook.

Yeah; I use facebook. I used to use myspace but facebook is so much cleaner and so far I haven't gotten messages from strangers like I do on facebook. and friendster.
hlavco
Facebook, despite the annoying name, is much better than MySpace. It's cleaner-looking, seems to have more security, and for some reason nobody on MySpace knows how to make a decent-looking page. MySpace is just a mess overall, with big glittery pictures, spammy friend-invites, tons of advertising... it's just annoying. I'd like to see a little bit of color-customization on Facebook, but what they have now is still better than the pages on MySpace.
suen
Facebook or Myspace, you ask?

My response will undoubtedly be highly biased, seeing as I've had a Facebook for two years and a Myspace for two days. I like the relative lack of anonymity on Facebook - no forty year old men pretending to be 17 year old boys stalking around. Hopefully. The applications really get on my nerves though, with so many caring friends advertising them...! :[

Both, from what I've heard though, insidiously siphon hours of your time away. I know it's definitely true for Facebook. :]
hunnyhiteshseth
Well I like facebook way more than myspace...

with a little exaggeration I can say that myspace sucks!!
bigdan
I use both regularly, but based on how much I use it, I prefer Facebook. I've found more people on Facebook from school etc...
Idoru
Neither, even if I prefer mySpace, I don't use it anymore. The little time spent in front of a computer goes either
to work or the homepage or here, at frihost. Well, that's not 100% true, but anyhow, it's true regarding
communities of the sort's mentioned.

Facebook is filled with garbage. Just not as much as myspace.

It was in it's prime when it was only open to select colleges.

Things started to go downhill when then they opened it up to High School students, then everyone.
James_Hicks
I like Facebook better. Both are getting very dull now. Or maybe I'm just getting too old for that crap. Just seems like a waste of time to me now. I did enjoy learning html from myspace and designing crap. Other than that, I just message a handful of friends from both social networks.
artemishunter
From a purely safety perspective, Facebook is infinitely more secure than Myspace. MySpace is just swarming with spamming and jerk hackers, while the whole point of Facebook is to maintain connections with people you know personally. Myspace, in an ideal world, should be stripped down to just band pages. I only use it for that anyway.

i use myspace because you can still meet some cool people. personally i prefer the social network im working on, as its mine. don't ask me about it, im not very good at javascript so it won't be up for awhile.
gr8inferno
myspace.. more users.!!
bigt
I prefer Facebook because it has more of an order to it.
misterXY
Wow FaceBook pwns myspace.
Is there a facebook group for FriHosters?
If so, pm me!

Also, people can edit the applications under account or something, it allows to even select a group of friends too stop receiving invites, period.
psycosquirrel
I prefer Facebook. The userbase seems more mature, and the content is less racy.

Myspace reminds me of 4chan. Nasty.
benje
myspace is better
joostvane
Check out netlog, thats the best one around Razz
pashmina
100% Facebook, never liked myspace.
goutha
Well, I guess that myspace is loosing some members. Facebook is better.

still a facebook lover....plus I use it for work Wink

Facebooks formality is its greatest strength. It is incredibly easy to navigate, the new privacy controls are excellent, and it's a very easy way to communicate with people all over the world. It even has a new IM feature, if you're so inclined. Love Facebook. I have a MySpace account, but I rarely check it and have not sought out any of my friends on it... they're all on Facebook.
Libby
I like Facebook a little better but both are pretty awful.

I liked it when everybody had those horribly designed Geocities pages. XD "way back when" lol
driftingfe3s
Alot of my friends from old friends from highschool are only on myspace. But after joining facebook when I was in college, I like it way better. It just seems less clutered and clean.
