Facebook In Goa out of MySpace
I’ve been on the social networking site MySpace for over five years. I just now signed up to Facebook because all of my friend prefer Facebook over MySpace . I really resisted creating a Facebook account because I put so much time into building up my MySpace site and was very attached and dedicated to it, like it was a dear friend. So, when I created my Facebook account, I felt I was betraying that old dear friend. But, now that I’ve been on Facebook for approximately a month now….I love it! I now know why my friends abandoned making daily entries on their MySpace site and strictly dedicate their social networking time on Facebook. It truly is a superior site. About the only thing I miss which MySpace offers that Facebook does not is the music. But, apparently, I don’t miss it enough because now I too strictly dedicate all my social networking time to Facebook.
I even found friends which have a Facebook account now living in Goa and working for the Goa hotels. It truly amazes me that when I was using Myspace, finding these people never occurred to me; never crossed my mind. But, it crossed the creators of Facebooks’ mind. They have created a program that check your current Facebook friends for common friends and add on top of that Facebook will suggest ‘Friending’ the common friends the common friends have. Truly amazing and ingenious. Not only have the creator of Facebook aid with finding old friends, they get you hooked on playing these little stupid games, like Farm Town or Mafia Wars which was terminated at one point, but brought back on line due to the demands of angry Facebookers that Mafia Wars was cancelled.
It seems MySpace has gone back to it’s original purpose of promoting Music and Musicians and has become less and less the hot social networking site. Of course there are those holdouts clinging tenaciously to their MySpace site either because they hate change or because, like how I was before my Facebook account, they have invested many hundreds of hours on creating their visual personality and compiled their favorite songs for their ever diminishing list of MySpace friends when they visit their frontpage. My staunchest MySpace friends consider me a trader. I must admit, when I do visit my MySpace friends it almost feels like I’m visiting a loved one in a convalescence home. Sad and desolate.
