Since this week's discussion relates to social media sites, I remember about eight years ago I created an account for a popular social media site at the time, that is Myspace. Ahh... fun memories that were made by my pre-teen self (haha). Circa 2006, Myspace and Runescape were the two sites that I would frequently go on to. I was in 10th grade (second year of high school) when I decided to abandon Myspace and switch to a new popular social media site which is Facebook. One of my friends was the person who introduced me to Facebook during a class we had together. I think one of her motives to tell me to make a Facebook account so that I can play Farmville where I can send gifts to help her build her farm.At the time I was new to Facebook, the layout was user-friendly unlike today's layout. Nowadays, I barely go one my account since I don't have much friends and people to talk to. I mainly keep my account active for my friend who lives in the mainland, specifically Arizona, where she attends university. Maybe in five years I'll be able to delete my account due to being inactive.

I remembered I used to have Myspace where you can change your background and customize it. Myspace was the type of website where you can show your creativity and you can also add music to your homepage as well to set your mood or however you wanted it. I forgot how I got into facebook but I think I remember signing up for it because my friend wanted to me help her out with a game and then I got hooked to Facebook ever since. I use it to keep in touch with my friends back home and in the Mainland.
ReplyDeleteI loved Myspace because I could find new ways to manipulate my website. What was exciting was to get feedback and have friends ask to alter their Myspace. But facebooks simpler interface appealed to a wider audience.
ReplyDeleteI never really liked Myspace, the reason being how people always made their profiles so content-filled. Sure, it was completely customizable, but it seemed more about the profile customization rather than the social aspect. Facebook has a quite simple layout (not as simple as Twitter, though!) which appeals to a larger audience I feel. A definitely more mature audience, as well.
