I had both for a while, I have neither now. It is infinitely appealing, the idea of keeping in touch with folk without having to put much effort into it, additionally pictures and blogs and stuff can have limited amusement value, but, when I quit using(about 9 months ago) nothing drastic changed in my life, I got out of touch with a couple of people who pretty much only communicate with myspace, but outside of that, I have just as many friends if not more today as I did then, and I don’t feel like I am missing anything.
Neither service is a necessity, if anything, they corrode the value of networking and friend-making a little bit.
It’s all kind of fake and meaningless really.
That being said, I always preferred how well facebook functioned versus myspace. Facebook seemed to be drastically less buggy and all around more streamlined.
add another for facebook. i would tell y but everyone pretty much spoke for me
let me add that i too was exactly like the op and the fact that it wouldn’t hurt to keep in touch with my friends. although myspace has more people, i still keep in touch with some of my friends that i do find on facebook.

I really couldn’t find like ANY of my friends on myspace. I had like 15 friends in two weeks, and now I have almost like 300 in a week or so on facebook.

Random thought: If MySpace and Facebook merged, it would be called FaceSpace.
LOL. I don’t use neither either and I’m looked at like some guy with a 3rd arm 'round here on campus.[/quote]
YES! Same thing here En Sabah Nur. Just because I don’t have either one, people look at me like I’m some sort of outcast. I prefer to meet friends the old school way: face to face.
This is usually how the conversation goes when MySpace or Facebook comes up:
THEM: You should really get a MySpace or Facebook account, it’s really cool
ME: Why?
THEM: Because it’s cool, you’ll meet a lot of people on there.
ME: Didn’t you get that memo from the research department?
