Old VS New

Facebook and MySpace are two social Medias that were or are very popular on the internet. MySpace was much more popular about 10 years ago. I began using MySpace when I was a freshman in high school. I can recall all my friends having a MySpace with their favorite music and changing profile layouts what seemed like every week.  I feel like a MySpace profile allowed you to express your personality more with the ability to personal it.  Other users were able to grasp more about the individual, because you were able to choose a background layout, show your interests, choose your top friends, and post statuses about what you were feeling. 

MySpace however began to lose interest when people stopped using it as frequently, due to the fact that other social media outlets began to generate popularity, such as Facebook. So I, like the rest of the crowd abandoned MySpace and created myself a Facebook.  Facebook is a much more evolved form of MySpace.

On Facebook you are still able to personalize your page with a cover phot or profile picture. However you are unable to customize the layout of your Facebook wall. Facebook generates people you may you know based on mutual friends so you can come in contact which whom you have not contacted in several years. Facebook has recently become more of a sharing of memes, videos, and quotes rather than personal post or status updates.  It is also a way of during business, such as I purchased a set of couches on a page of users that are interested in selling items.  It has also become a way of first hand news throughout your city before it is aired on the television.  Here a photo posted by another user can be liked and commented on by another user.  I think that is a great asset of Facebook, however, it is also a downfall because this is where a lot of cyber bullying takes place by some peoples comments that are made especially publicly made photos that are continuously shared and made fun of.

Facebook I have to admit is addicting I always catch myself eager to check my Facebook to see what is going on. It has become a time consuming app that has many people intrigued. Constantly we can catch people walking down isles of stores, in class, and at work scrolling their fingers across the screen of their phone checking out the news feed. My Facebook book habits have changed as well as I’m sure others have, its I know so much post many statuses besides photos and share different meme’s and videos rather than actually typing out a text status.
