1. I tend to favor facebook if only for the lessened amount of spam
and the nifty applications.

Although I did just start a myspace music page so I wouldn't have to waste my own bandwidth showing off my stuff. :P

2. i do like facebook for having less spam
and i don't have friends getting hacked all the time.

i like some applications but i am driven insane by getting application requests.. i get at least 5 of them a day and i already have enough applications! lol

3. Yeah, but it's not as annoying as actual spam. :P

Close, but not quite.

If I can ever figure out SQL I may end up making an app or two of my own on there. :P That's a pretty big if though.

14. An anti-bot program
It shows a letter-number combination and makes you re-type it before you can send mail or whatever.

So only spammers with a whole lot of time on their hands can get through. :P

9. I have both but I haven't been using them lately.
I have more friends on FB, but I don't actually check it unless someone sends me a message. It got annoying pretty fast.

20. I went straight to "they both suck."
I'm active on LinkedIn, but MySpace and Facebook?

If I had to choose, I'd go for Facebook. I'm on it...ONLY because two colleagues are on there and asked me to add them as a friend.

I get a lot of insight into my business from LinkedIn, and really think it's great.

MySpace and Facebook suck, but MySpace sucks THE MOST.

:toast:
