Linkedin

Linkedin was established in May 2003 and is mainly used for professional networking. It allows users to research companies which they may be interested to work for, which is also good for the business field. However, some facts that it gives you may not attract some people anymore, simply creating a bad effect on the business world. In the social world, Linkedin can increase your connections, for the more people that see your profile and like it, results in more people adding to your contacts. This can also be bad because there is a lot of personal information on Linkedin, which gives easy access to other people out on the Internet to get a hold of your personal information.

Facebook vs. Myspace

Facebook is one of the biggest social networking sites in the world and Myspace is right behind it. Myspace is not only a social networking website but is also for music and musicians to put their music on there to get it well known, while Facebook is mostly just for social usage. Besides music, Facebook and Myspace can both be used for Entertainment, and Recreational purposes. Myspace and Facebook are mainly known as Social Networking websites and is what their most popular use is. On these websites people can create a profile and talk to each other and make comments on their profile, pictures, and other comments they make on friends profiles. They can keep in touch with family and friends they don’t see often and keep in touch with anyone in the world. For entertainment purposes, Myspace is mainly used for music and musicians which is good for small bands trying to get their names out there. Facebook can do that as well but Myspace has more of an advantage in that department, even though it is the only department Myspace over rides in. For Recreational purposes, the people of Myspace and Facebook can use the websites not only to get in touch with old friends, but also plays games and used fun apps for entertainment. People can contradict each others opinions on Myspce and Facebook but it’s really your opinion that matters on which website fits you best to your needs and desires.
