I have decided to use my Myspace to present a more personal side of myself than what is on my facebook page, as i feel this is something that Myspace promotes. By allowing users to post songs, videos, and personalise their page, Myspace facilitates the building of an identity than Facebook, which seems to promote more networking and interaction.
After a difficult start on Myspace (my profile also completely disappeared- strange) things improved and i was able to create my own background and contact table (although I will probably change the images that I used as they make the page difficult to read). I have also added a song and have some ideas about what I would like to do to expand the page further, by adding videos, images, and my own text in order to create an identity. I also plan to work more with my Facebook page to make it present a more professional persona.
In terms of actually using the sites, I found Facebook much easier to work with. I have had a Myspace in the past, but still found it slightly confusing to navigate- mostly because the advertising is so intrusive. I also like all the different features that Facebook offers, as they allow users to vary the ways in which they interact and make the experience more interesting- I think Myspace is lacking in this respect.
I'm still having trouble making up my mind about what I would like to do for my own web page and what sort of image I would like it to present. If I decided to use one of my social networking pages I think I will use my Myspace, as there seems to be more potential to create what I want.
