MySpace vs Facebook

http://live.pirillo.com/ - For whatever reason one of the worlds worst designed websites took off in popularity: MySpace. Chances are you have a MySpace account or you know someone who does. But Chris really isn't impressed with it: it has turned into a spam farm with people gaming the system trying to attract traffic to their websites.

There is an alternative to MySpace, which offers some fun features: Facebook.

Facebook isn't just one big site; it's made up of lots of separate networks based around things like schools, companies, and regions.

If you want to see the profiles of your classmates or coworkers on the site, be sure to use your school or work email to register. You can search for anyone on Facebook, but you can only see profiles of your friends and people in your networks.

Facebook has taken the opposite approach to social networking: a clean interface and an open API. Combined with its clean interface and interactivity, it has won Chris over.

So, Chris chooses Facebook. What would you choose?
