But dismissing myspace would be totally stupid. Facebook has become too intrusive with every little detail of your activity made public and this could backfire its popularity. On the other side myspace lets you control how much visibility of your profile you want to share with the world and yes you can have multiple profiles and what not. Its interesting to see who gets more eye balls.</p> Well facebook definitely has much control over spam and who gets on the site unlike myspace. But dismissing myspace would be totally stupid.
