Essay #2

I have accounts with all three of the social networks, but I find myself using Facebook more often because of the amount of friends I have using it, which is way more than friends I have using Myspace and Twitter. Unlike in the states Myspace never really took off in Toronto like Facebook did and became our dominant social network.

Myspace is has the ability to let you create your own page and gives you a way to show off your personality. But Myspace is a little more time consuming when it comes to navigating to friend's pages which can be a hassle. Facebook is easy to navigate and also has the ability to let you check past history conversations with ease. Facebook is a little more uniform looking than Myspace and doesn't have that sense of individual personality feeling that Myspace has. Although I have a Twitter account I haven't used it that much, I am not used to the limitation of 140 character tweets, so that can get a little annoying, but the concept of it is pretty good because with Myspace and Facebook that is one thing people enjoy doing is posting their status' and Twitter has their network devoted to that.

If I had to pay to use any of these social networks on a monthly basis then I would not be using them, I think I would just have to keep in touch by phone, or email with my friends and family because I don't think it would be worth it.
