MySpace, to put it bluntly, became “ghetto”. It just looks trashy, kind of like the seedy side of town with all the colorful graffiti. As others pointed out, it’s loaded with spammers, people looking for sex, and people who can’t spell to save their lives, and I mean this even more so than any other place on the internet that I’m aware of. Meanwhile, Facebook started to offer all these little addictive, time wasting games, and most people like to play free games. So, it drew more people in, and in short, unlike MySpace which appeals to a very “young” crowd who seem to be interested in expressing themselves with pointless flair, Facebook appeals to people of ALL ages and maturity levels who are looking to express themselves more through their words and pictures. When you think about what MySpace does, in short, it provides an avenue for social networking, sort of reaching out to the world at large, a way to express one’s self. Facebook took that aspect of it, and basically incorporated games.com and classmates.com by allowing people to play tons of free games and giving people a quick and simple and free way to get back in touch with their former high school classmates. It also became a place to create one’s own mini blog, to host one’s pictures, and to keep up with your friends in real time. MySpace could do some of that, but that’s just not the focus, it’s more of a “look at me” site.
