Facebook, Myspace, Livejournal...?

Which do you prefer and why?





Or any other blogging site for that matter...

Facebook, Myspace, Livejournal...?
Facebook as number of people using it are more than others and it has many cool features.
Reply:I like them each for different reasons.





Livejournal is more for getting to know people.





Facebook is good for keeping up with people





Myspace is good for finding people you used to be friends with.
Reply:Facebook and MySpace are social networking sites, and LiveJournal is a journal site. I suppose that one could be called a blog.





MySpace does have a blog function, but it's severely limited in its capabilities that most people don't actually use MySpace for blogging. Facebook has practically nothing in the way of blogging.





SNS-wise, Facebook has a sensible and clean user interface (although that's starting to change), while visiting MySpace profiles usually means staring at glittery, pink-polka-dotted GIF-heavy pages with designs and text-background color schemes of the likes that were seen on personal websites in the 1990s made with bits and pieces of HTML hacked together where they shouldn't go, that plays random music you didn't even ask for as soon as you visit the page. ("Oh dammit! Where's that stupid pause button, this chanting/guitar/drumming/rapping/J-Pop is hurting my brain omgwhere'sthegoddamnstopbutton!" while scrolling furiously.)





LiveJournal has numerous nice, tame themes that you can choose from, and their user interface is wonderful.
Reply:Multiply offers a simple social networking page.





Friendster has become passe.





Facebook is being sued by a firm claiming to own their ideas.





As long as most of your friends are members of the community, sometimes it doesn't matter what kind of domain you subscribe to. :)
