None of us need a degree in journalism to blog, no experience necessary. If something is perturbing you, post an angry blog. Tell the world to F-Off and Die. Facebook lacks this feature due to its closed network.

Granted, MySpace is overly commercialized while Facebook remains as clean as Google's opening page. But after X years of surfing the Net, most of us intuitively weave through the hailstorm of pop-ups and flashy sirens determined to waste our time. Facebook will eventually welcome advertisers in order to generate revenue to climb the cyber-ladder as a worthy competitor against MySpace.

Look at the class partition! The bourgeoisie dwell on Facebook; the proletariat thrive on Myspace. Facebook is all ivy-league college-educated cigar-smoking yacht-driving golf-club-swinging Abercrombie-wearing Beltway-jamming white-collared yuppie snobs. Granted, Facebook is presently in a transitional period of opening up to the public from a legacy state of collegiate exclusivity. However, I suspect it may rival MySpace in popularity in a couple of years. Roughly quoting, Facebook's population is approaching 15 million while MySpace's is nearing 50 million (only counting active users). Anyways, Myspace hosts the working class; these people vacuum your cubicles, change your tires, tear your movie tickets, and serve your drinks. Myspace is jam-packed with self-promoting models, exotic dancers, struggling artists, and unsigned bands.

Again I rub against the grain since nine out of ten posted comparisons favor Facebook. This is due to my craving of intellectual depth over broad acquaintance. While Facebook feels like a resumae, Myspace feels like a playground.

If I had to choose, I choose Myspace (as long as Rupert Murdoch doesn't charge me a subscription).
