MySpace vs Facebook

I've been on MySpace for a while now, basically because loads of my friends are, but I've barely used it in the last 2 months, apart from checking on a few bands. It's just too much hassle. It's hard to wade through the hundreds of peoples' friends looking for bands I want to check out. It's a hassle trawling through all the spam comments and ads for clubs/bands/whatever to see what my friends are doing. But all my friends are there...

I was invited to Facebook a month or so back by a mate and I registered, spent ten minutes filling in info and then forgot about it. But in the last week it feels like there might be a change a-comin'... I've had maybe half a dozen friends join and all of a sudden I'm logging in regularly. With Twitter-like status, photos, the activity feeds, stories, comment threading and an interesting selection of participation functionality Facebook have done a far better job of the social stuff. It's an easier and more fun way to keep up with my friends.

The separation of my online social community from my music one seems right - the uses are quite distinct. A lot of people happen to use MySpace just to keep up with mates though, and I suspect things are about to correct... I think both sites would be the better for it too.

Spam has been driving me nuts so I've decided to disable comments for the time being. It's a real shame but I just don't have the time to police'em.
