Bands and commercial properities would flood my bulletin boards and posts and the all-or-nothing privacy settings were killing the usefulness of even friending someone.

Facebook seems to be a very good way to control and collect information on friends and colleagues, while twitter is a great way to keep up with commerce and entertainment and news. I found personally that this divide was a reason to abandon myspace. Obviously some people FB everything, and some people love twitter. I enjoy the separation, but I think that’s a great think to keep in mind about the scaling of social media. It does break down at large scales, so separating it is the best thing going for FB and twitter.

Too bad myspace didn’t get on the ball earlier. There are a lot of unsigned bands who created an excellent page on myspace with music, downloads and shows that I’ve yet to see replicated as well on facebook or twitter.
