Cure of Social Networking

I know. It is an arguement that has been asked for quite a while (well, since the sites were created). "Social Networking Sites" as people would know have become quite popular. Now, for this arguement sake we are going to ignore the little ones that are insignificant such as Bebo and focus on the 2 big hitters. Myspace and Facebook.

Myspace. I love it. Its good. Easy to comment. Easy to see peoples pictures and comment them. Easy to view 'bullitens'. It is simple to use and has a nice layout. I like the build in flash music play that you have on there for your personal profile and can add songs that bands have on their profile to your profile.

The only downside to myspace is that people become offended too easily. You decide to have 8 top friends on your profile. Picking 8 people can be a hard choice. Who do you give this elusive privledge to and who do you say "Sorry but your too retarted" to.

Luckily. With a little bit of fancy html work on your profile, you can hide your friends list so nobody know and you can also hide your comment so that a sibling can't see comments like "OMG! Last night was great. You did so much cocaine. YEAH! PILLS! WOOOOOOOO" from your fucked up drug friend who you went out with for one night or the "I just want your rock hard cock between in my tight pussy right night like it was ast night" comment that comes from the town bike who honestly believe the world will end if she stops having sex for 5 minutes.

Now, facebook. Face book doesn't have the easy to use music player or the fancy profile layout creation but it does have Apps. Now, I know, how are apps meant to make up for all that Myspace has to offer. I thought for ages that facebook was crappy and just to make up for its crappness with millions of apps. Much like the football stud calls every 2nd person a fag to make up for the fact that he is secretly a fudge packer.

Well, i thought it was crapy until I came across the app knowns as 'Pirates'. This is fantastic. Its like a really basic RPG (Role Playing Game). You are a pirate. You sail around and search land for booty. Raid towns for booty. USe the booty for upgrades so you can attack other people playing pirates. The people at work got me onto it (Psssht. Sif facebook decreases workplace producivity by 10%) and they all play it as well.

Other apps include one called 'Booze Mail' which bascially means you shout people virtual drinks. Alot of use that is. Next time someone goes to give you one, be abusive back, when they look offended just say you are cyber drunk from all the free drinks they have been giving you before you cyber vomit on their shoes.

In the end though, after much deliberation, as fucking awesome as the pirates app on facebook is, it still doesn't match the quality of myspace. I will keep playing pirates though. Its awseome.

In the end, this blog is just for me to say...

Myspace >>>>> Facebook.
