I created a MySpace account a short time ago as I was anxious to share with friends and family, especially grandson and granddaughter. I created my account, uploaded photos, added music and changed the background. My grandson enjoyed teaching me things that he knew. I have added friends to MySpace.
Today I created a FaceBook account. It was somewhat easier to do since I had already created MySpace. On FaceBook, I joined the Gainesville, Florida Network, uploaded a photo for my profil, and searched for family and friends to add. I am waiting on responses from them. I searched for "Alachua County Library" and viewed the Alachua County's Youth Services Department's FaceBook. It looked interesting but the wall had not been updated since 2008. FaceBook and MySpace could be used as a tool for libraries to get information about programs, events, and the library itself to the public, but without routine and timely updating of the information the spaces would be ineffective.
The differences I see between MySpace and FaceBook and after talking with users of both are that MySpace can be more of a social atmosphere whereas FaceBook allows joining of groups, etc. and appears that it can allow more networking for jobs and interests.
For myself, I prefer MySpace.
I have since made comments on Facebook on my granddaughters walls and sent an invite to 23Things@Neflin to be my "friend".
