So which network is better, LinkedIn, FaceBook or MySpace? It all depends, of course.
I tried all three by now. Feel free to check out my profiles for kicks. So far, hands down my favorite is LinkedIn for many reasons. LinkedIn is serious, it’s professional and I never get spammed. Plus, the conversation section is really good, interesting and very insightful. I can’t say the same about MySpace. In a few days I was receiving spam and invitation from lonely girls wanting to be friends with demented expectation of their sexual prowesses. On the other hand, FaceBook turned out to be filled with features the others lacked.
Clearly, MySpace and FaceBook are social networks for friends and chatting. FaceBook has some nice features such as FunWall, a widget that let’s you send message and draw pictures. Frankly said, I wonder why they have to make their features so convoluted. I would think sending messages and drawing message should be simple without having to install scripts on your machines. Another security risk there.
So which one is better depends on what you are looking for. If fun and keeping in touch with friends is what you are looking for, FaceBook should do if you don’t mind agreeing to their scripts snooping on you. I’m not sold on MySpare since it seems to be filled with people racing to be your “friends” and spammers bombard at day three.
If you are looking for serious professional feedback, ask questions and get relevant answers, then LinkedIn is great. It’s no frills but does the job and I never got spammed.
