Make MySpace YourSpace

by alexis chandler

 There are so many social networking sites now where people can go to meet up with friends and basically create their own little world. It can be hard to choose. Many base their decision on what site most of their friends are on. Which makes sense. But maybe it’s time to branch out. Maybe it’s time to venture into new territory. A good site to try is MySpace.

 Each online site has features that can be appealing to different people. Facebook is good for talking to friends but it’s not as easy to personalize. On MySpace there are tons of layouts to choose from. And there is the option of creating a unique layout that nobody else has.

 “Facebook is more organized but MySpace is cooler looking and allows more freedom,” sophomore Annie McFarland said.

 MySpace also has a wide variety of music. People can visit bands’ pages and get any of their songs (if the band has it available) on their page. Facebook, on the other hand, is just beginning to get music on their site.

 “I spend 2-3 hours a night on MySpace,” Ellen Ransom, sophomore, said. “Mostly listening to music.”

 MySpace music is about to get a huge upgrade. It’s going to make its music downloadable. And they’re working on making it compatible with any portable device, according to usatoday.com.

 So maybe to get the joy of friends and music someone could try talking their Facebook friends into joining MySpace. And then they would have a network of friends on a site with music and personality.
