BLOG #3 MySpace

The first impression I got when I went into MySpace was a sense of dizziness, confusion, and disorganization; everything was just too clustered. I'm describing the home page, not my actual profile. The home page was a combination of YouTube with all those videos piled up next to each other, and news blogs with the articles on the side, as well as ads.
Last time I was on MySpace was probably 2 years ago, and sure it did change. The home page was more plain, it only had a couple ads and music related news.
Now, the inside content, profiles and tools, etc. hadn't changed too much. I visited profiles and noticed that most of friends hadn't used it for a long time, they are all on fb now. Although, I noticed that friends that were still using it were younger kids. My profile looked really empty compared to those who often use it. They have it all filled up with music, colorful backgrounds, just too much staff that make you not want to surf their profile for too long.
I personally never really liked MySpace, I would get weird emails from random people very often. You couldn't manage privacy settings as you can with fb., that's why I stopped using it. I kind of like the idea that you could customize it with music and backgrounds. But when I created my fb account, I realized that it was a better, cleaner, and more organized/secure way of getting in touch with my friends, and way less freaky than MySpace.
