I went onto my Myspace profile today (first time in ages, I never use it anymore, it has turned into a load of crap), and I noticed a few updates. Why exactly has Myspace had to resort to copying Facebook in every way possible? Firstly, the MyspaceIM web bar thingy, which is a crappier, buggier version of the Facebook bar. And now they have added features such as ‘people you might know’ and allowing people to view past status updates – erm, hello Facebook? Not that this really bothers me in the slightest, I just can’t see why Myspace can’t come up with some ideas of its own, instead of blatantly trying to steal features; and hence attempt to steal their market share. Facebook is much better in every sense – no annoying profiles with flashing text, enough glittery images to sink a ship; no people with obscure and stupid names (such as xXxhotbabe51xXx). It is down to earth, just a simple clean interface allowing people to talk to each other. I think it is a much personal approach, and they handle privacy much better.

But to be fair, the latest Facebook GUI/layout update didn’t have a great reception; including myself, I think they have taken a step backwards personally.
