In Your Face

By: Christopher Beam

Facebook and Myspace are the two largest social networks on the Internet. However, Facebook has a cleaner image than myspace in which the interface is comfy, sturdy, and attractive without being too showy. Moreover, just recently Facebook has opened its pages to outside developers and has introduced a new tool kit called Facebook Platform. This new tool kit allows not only students but multimillion dollar corporation to poke around and rearrange the innards. Nevertheless, there are a few more simple things that Facebook needs to add such as email and an instant messaging program in order for Facebook to really stand out.

What social network do you belong to?

I don't belong to any social network; moreover, I don't really know much about the benefits of belonging to a social network. However, if I decided to join a social network, after reading this article, I think Facebook is the way to go.

How many people do you know have a Myspace account?

It's funny, I work for the Boys & Girls Club and I was amazed to find out how many middle school students have Myspace accounts. If this is the case for middle school students, I can only imagine how many elementary students have their own accounts. For this reason, I think parents should be more aware of their kid’s on-line activities.
