Social Networking Exercise: Part 1

The first social networking site that i joined was Myspace in 2004. I was a very active user for about 4 years, usually checking my profile multiple times per day. I now rarely use Myspace, I check it periodically, but most people i know have "graduated" onto Facebook where there isn't an overwhelming amount of flashy html coding. I use Facebook a lot more now, probably checking it a couple times per day. Facebook is simplified and more to the point. The communication is all that i need it to be without it trying to do everything. The only aspect of Myspace that i think has better features is music and photos. Though the music on Myspace could be annoying by playing as soon as you go to someone's profile, it was still a nice feature to be able to check out new bands and listen to music. Myspace also allows .png and .tiff images to be uploaded, so the resolution restrictions (that both myspace and Facebook has) is not as detrimental to photo quality because a .png or .tiff looks better than .jpegs... tenfold.
