MySpace is a social networking site. This means that once you have registered, you can create your own profile page, complete with photos and information about yourself in order to network with either people that you already know, or new people.
MySpace is a huge network, so it is a great platform for keeping up with the people you don’t get to see that often, and it’s also a great way of finding people that you have lost touch with. There are different formats that you can use to stay in touch and to communicate with your friends, such as instant messaging (IM); email; blogs; forums; groups and bulletins.
You will find that you are able to add music or videos to your MySpace profile without any cost. In fact, the advanced editing that is incorporated into the site means that you will be able to add practically anything.
One of the downsides to MySpace is that, although there are privacy settings that you can put into place, doing so will mean that nobody can see your profile, which seems a bit pointless. Facebook, on the other hand, has more sophisticated privacy settings that allow you to withhold all of your personal details, photographs and information to everybody except your friends. You can even decide what it is you would like to limit, so there isn’t just a blanket ban. This is great because if you decide you don’t want everybody looking at your photos, for example, but you would like to leave a little bit of information out there so that people who may be looking for you will have a better idea that it is actually you, you can do.
Another disadvantage to using MySpace is that sometimes it is difficult to work out how to do particular things, such as creating a slideshow of your photos.
