Aren't all social network services the same as long as you can reach the main goal? No! MySpace, Facebook, and Twitter all have different followers. When MySpace was created I saw it as a way to keep in touch with friends, family, and keep up with talented artists. When Facebook came about, it seemed as if all of that changed. Facebook was known as a social network for college students and then...it all went downhill from there.
MySpace was the "ghetto" to the social network scene, while Facebook was the more "mature" and/or "sophisticated" thing to be a part of. Facebook began allowing people that are non-college students sign up, which allowed room for both the young and all to enjoy; from high schoolers, business, talented artists, causes, etc...
So is that a good or bad thing...hmmmm? Well MySpace started to become obsolete as everyone began "converting" over to Facebook.
Twitter, on the other hand, seems to not be for everyone but is the easiest to use. You basically sign up and create a profile and you then begin "following" people and have other follow you as well. To follow is to keep up with the live progress of events throughout the day. People of all ages, businesses such as newspapers and blogs, entertainers, etc are all a part of this.
I happen to be a member of all of the three services mentioned above. I find facebook to be used the most of them all. Mainly because I have the most immediate friends who use it versus Twitter and MySpace. It also is a great tool for entertainment while I have some downtime either at work or home. I must say it isn't for everyone and would suggest the next option to be used should be Twitter since it is very user-friendly.
