8. Q2: How is Facebook different from MySpace? They differ greatly. MySpace is mainly about communicating with friends/family and discovering new cultures, people, and content (professional video, music). According to Richard MacManus, Facebook and MySpace are at opposite ends of the spectrum where: Facebook is viewed as "real identity” MySpace as "fantasized identity” MySpace is about the improvement of user’s public profile, and enhancement of the image displayed to the public. On the other hand, Facebook is basically about self promotion.

It is a great social network that allows us to be in contact with our friends, relatives and colleges. It helped us find long lost childhood friends. Others use Facebook as tool to contacted many people with the same interest such as the same taste in music, poetry, books and much more.

Companies on the other hand use Twitter so they can start conversations about their products and services that is not limited to their fans. Twitter is a social platform where people can share their information with everyone, as opposed to Facebook where people choose whom to be friends with, and whose information they choose to receive.

According to the a metaphor cited from article by Colette Martinto on the Online Social Media website “Twitter is much like Times Square on New Year’s Eve, it’s noisy and open to all. Facebook on the other hand is more like a party invitation with an RSVP.”
