Digital Update #2: Facebook vs. MySpace
Posted in Business, Digital, Marketing, Resources on 06.13.07 18:40

Earlier this week Mashable did a comparison of Facebook vs. MySpace - Facebook was the easy winner, but a number of the points MySpace won on favour musicians. I probably hear someone mention Facebook every day now [it’s a verb now too!] - so if you don’t use it yet [I’m still holding out] maybe you’ll find a reason to in the review.

Common theme on local music message board and potential warning for Facebook:

I actually find all this new junk on Facebook annoying.

< ![CDATA[I have been sucked into facebook...way more than myspace. The three big myspace strikes (and I am sucker for signing up to every web thing on the go) was the automatic music playing and the generally horrible design and the flaky reliability (I usually have to login a bunch of times during a session and get error screens quite often). It really rubbed me the wrong way even before Fox bought it.

The big myspace plus was that any non-computer musician could easily set-up a site and get their music online in no time with no technical knowhow.

The huge facebook plus is that it is generally real people, has a clean look and has a feed page that aggregates your friends updates. Plus a ton of individual privacy settings to boot. The only comparison I can really make is that facebook is to myspace like gmail is to hotmail.]]>

< ![CDATA[Have you tried Virb.com yet? Thoughts if so - much sharper looking than myspace - maybe even facebook.

I HATE the auto play feature of myspace - bands should stop that.

I like the gmail to hotmail comparison

I'm still resisting facebook.]]>
