Myspace vs. Facebook: The Verdict is In

You know what really thrashes our tail? As much as the media talks about the MySpace/Facebook Rivalry, no one ever seems to want to declare the winner. For example, just this week, USA Today "wondered" if Facebook's newest improvements put them ahead of MySpace. Of course, the article doesn't give us an answer. Apparently, the question was just one of those rhetorical devices.
L-A-M-E.

Let's settle this once and for all, shall we? Presenting:
The MySpace vs. Facebook BATTLE to End All Battles!

The Rules:

Each team starts with 10 points, and points are added and deducted based on whatever we want. (Don't you just love it when you get to make the rules?)

Let the game begin!

Something about MySpace just screams Porn and Trailer Parks to us (maybe it’s the part of the home page that declares “Pimp My Profile”). -2 points

Facebook is not creepy (and has nice design, if we may say so). +1 point

…BUT Facebook is so user-friendly, that you just got a friend request… from your mom. -3 points

MySpace’s major redeeming quality, its music section, furthers the careers of hip indie bands full of cute, naïve young rocker boys. Swoon-ilicious. +2 points

I hate to be morbid, but what will become of my profile when I kick shuffle off to the social networking site in the sky? Facebook doesn’t have a good answer. -1 point

…But MySpace does: Mydeathspace.com. +1 point

Why is everyone, absolutely everyone, on MySpace classified as either a friend or “in your extended network”? Is it optimism… or a downright lie? -1 point

Speaking of lying, MySpace is owned by Rupert Murdoch, who also owns Fox News (and many, many other news outfits). Even if you like Fox News, you have to admit Murdoch's media monopoly is a tad terrifying. -2 points

Facebook is partially owned by Microsoft. Meh. no points lost or gained

Facebook’s ads for weight loss are annoying and make us feel bad about the tummies we've packed on by sitting at our computers wasting time on Facebook when we could be at the gym. -1 point

MySpace’s flash ads are SUPER HOLY EPILEPSY BATMAN annoying. -3 points

Facebook=Relationship status updates. Birthday reminders. Throwing virtual chicken wings at your frenemies. Need we say more? +3 points

There you have it. The final scores are:MySpace: 5
Facebook: 10

Facebook WINS. Bam. Done. That wasn't so hard, was it? Happy weekend of wall writing, kiddos.
