Facebook & MySpace

I was a user of MySpace before Facebook came along.  I can't remember my login now - so there is a long forgotten unused MySpace page floating around in cyber space belonging to me. I went back to visit and can see why this would be a favourite of younger people - links to bands, musicians, movies, stars, celebrities, fashion as well as friends.  I have had a Facebook page for a few years now and use it to keep in contact with family and friends in other cities, states and countries - I love viewing their photos and keeping up to date with their lives. I find this a really important part of my social world now.  I check my page daily - now have the link on my gmail homepage, which makes it easier. I also use it to talk directly to my daughter in Perth (at night when she is studying and I am doing school work) just quick little messages to keep in contact. I won't be going back to MySpace - Facebook is more than enough for my needs.  I watched 'The Social Network' on the weekend - so even have a bit of background knowledge as well!!
