Jonnycake Posted August 11, 2010 Posted August 11, 2010 I'm not sure if this question was already posted but I was wondering: What do you like about Facebook that's different on MySpace and vice-versa? What feature would you want them to have that neither of the sites have? Thanks for any input Quote
Trip Posted August 11, 2010 Posted August 11, 2010 myspace sucks worse ... spam central facebook is like being @ school again lol Quote
okiwan Posted August 11, 2010 Posted August 11, 2010 i hate both of them. and myspace is dead. myspace was cool though cause its like haveing your own mini web page. it was totally customizable. i love to customize. facebook is good to spy on people. Quote
okiwan Posted August 11, 2010 Posted August 11, 2010 why do you ask jonnycake? are you going to make the next big social network an make millions? Quote
xtr3m3 Posted August 11, 2010 Posted August 11, 2010 What do you guys think of this? http://www.joindiaspora.com/ Quote
deleted Posted August 11, 2010 Posted August 11, 2010 What do you guys think of this? http://www.joindiaspora.com/ Won't really make a dent IMHO, it will be a small niche if anything. Do you think the general public will use or even know what a "Distributed, XMPP powered, self hosted Social Networking seed" is? Quote

Infiltrator Posted August 11, 2010 Posted August 11, 2010 Facebook and myspace are dead for me, its a waste of time and rather chat/talk at Hak5.org its more fun and interesting. Quote
5ive Posted August 11, 2010 Posted August 11, 2010 (edited) People are not interested in social networking websites - they are interested in the people on them. There is a huge difference, and if you have plans on trying to start one up I think you need to grasp that. It really doesn't matter how much better of a site you can create. If google can't get people to use orkut, wave, etc, I have no idea how a small player could get one going. Facebook and Myspace both had a lot of lucky right place at the right time type things happening for them to get as big as they did. I bet most users of both sites hate the site but use them anyway, because its not about the site, its about the people. I signed up for a facebook account after I noticed that about 400 out of the 500 some people I graduated HS with had one. That is a nutty percentage, and it makes people feel like they need to jump on the bandwagon since everyone else is. Personally I hate the site though - I hate the wall concept, and I hate just about everything about it. That said, if you give me a link to a much better site, it doesn't matter I won't sign up because the only reason I have to go to such a site is to check up on people from my past, and if their not already on the site, then there is no point to being on it. It's a catch 22. Edited August 11, 2010 by 5ive Quote
okiwan Posted August 11, 2010 Posted August 11, 2010 ^^well said. also there coming out with a major production movie about the guy who invented facebook. Quote
okiwan Posted August 12, 2010 Posted August 12, 2010 does any one use twitter? iv never tried it. isnt it just for stalking celebrities an what not? Quote
xtr3m3 Posted August 12, 2010 Posted August 12, 2010 I use Twitter to keep up with any aerospace related stuff, i.e. Nasa. I also use it for Islamic updates on any new Islamophobic crap around the net. Yes, I'm a Muslim and I'm involved in the aero industry.. Life is tough <_< Quote
Jonnycake Posted August 12, 2010 Author Posted August 12, 2010 Yes, I'm thinking of starting one, but it'll more than likely be like a small amount of people. I just wanted to start one because on the last social networking site I was to work on, we got a lot of it done, and then a lot of the team working on it sort of dispatched. The project was just too unorganized. I know it's most likely not going to be popular or anything, but it's worth the shot that I'll get that "right place at the right time". I'm not looking to make a profit whatsoever, I already have other methods of making money, this is just because I hear a lot of people saying that facebook is so much better than myspace or the other way around, and it would be really cool if people agreed on liking a site that I helped build. @okiwan Lol, nice - I never thought that they'd actually make a movie about that. o.O <offtopic>And that's a good song on the trailer.</offtopic> Quote
Trip Posted August 12, 2010 Posted August 12, 2010 i hate to burst your bubble but you'll need an income to host it if it did become popular Quote
Jonnycake Posted August 12, 2010 Author Posted August 12, 2010 Yeah, I realize, but likely it won't and if it does I could use advertisements, donations, etc. If it came down to it, I could just set up a server and get a good internet plan. Quote
Neige Posted August 18, 2010 Posted August 18, 2010 i had a facebook page but more time spent in it leads to more boredom! Quote
