The fight between the two on-line Communities MySpace and Facebook for music fan sharpens itself too. Although Facebook already drives applications out of iTunes, the student network makes itself now also on the search for potent major Labels the partnership. A goal is the erschaffung of a pure music network. The quasi-outsourcing of artist profiles for clarity, simpler discoverableness, and more exact target group marketing was actually an MySpace idea. The four largest representatives of the music industry universal, Sony BMG, Warner and EMI see themselves suddenly umworben and their licenses now from both networks. Who will win a running around the new platform, is however for the time being completely open.
A big difference on Facebook is that the friends you add are usually your real friends. It’s not a contest like on MySpace where everyone is trying to have the most friends. On Facebook it about talking to the people you know and sharing things with them.
One of the major reasons for joining a social network is to reconnect with old friends or classmates. Facebook makes this really easy because the whole site is organized by schools and now by locations too. So unless you forgot your friends name you will probably be able to find them if they have an account. MySpace lets you search for school friends, but doesn’t put the emphasis on real friendships.
MySpace and Facebook tie here. While Facebook lets you add and remove applications, MySpace lets you do whatever you want with the pages, if you know a little HTML that is. Unfortunately thats the reason MySpace’s design is so unruly for the most part.
MySpace
MySpace went in the InterNet time calculation before Aeonen at Fox for 550 million dollar, some time ago bought to Myspace/Fox wiederrum Photobucket and Flektor, YouTube goes for 1.6 billion at Google, likewise FeedBurner for 100 million ebay buys stumbleupon. Grouper for $65m ton of Sony, and recently Last.fm for $280m ton of CBS. And so on and so on. Only yesterday bought Disney for 700 million dollar by the way at least me and also the large remainder of the Techblogger unknown Social Network/Virtual Word for children. And with penguins, somehow.
Facebook can be used as a tool to talk to the people you work with also and see what’s new with them. You can even join a network for your company. MySpace was really designed for teens so it doesn’t really have these types of features.
Facebook is a good way to contact people if you don’t know their contact info. Someone is more likely to notice a Facebook message than a MySpace Message due to the fact that there is less Facebook spam.
Both MySpace and Facebook have pretty decent navigation, but Facebook beats MySpace when it comes to getting to specific people’s profiles due to its superior search.
Micro Blogging
Micro Bloggingdienste bring new momentum into the Social Networking world and represent the next evolution step of the Instant Messaging. The role of the pioneer in this still young Web-2.0-Ni took over in this country so far rather little the well-known on-line service Twitter. The social Blog service sets on scarceness and Simplizitaet. Registered users can with one another develop as "Follower so mentioned" a network and publish short entries with maximally 140 indications. By the limited options both in the profiling and in the use reduces Twitter the expenditure for the own Web-2.0-Aktivitaeten to the minimum and saves to gestressten Networking users a quantity of time.
Energy Consumption
In the main junctions of the Internets observes professor Fettweis a rise of the current consumption from 16 to 20 per cent per year. "meanwhile the server farms use approximately 180 billion kilowatt per year", said fat-point the restaurant week. "those are a per cent of world-wide requirements of electric current." If one adds the current consumption the portable radio -, fixed net and InterNet infrastructure in addition, the portion of the world current consumption grows even on three per cent. Green IT is a central topic of interest of the Cebit, which begin on 4 March in Hanover. Key words about CeBIT energy InterNet river If the InterNet grows further as before, alone the Web eats computationally in 23 years from as much river as today the entire world used up, then fat-point. "by the information-technical standard of the industrialized countries since the whole world to expand, already 40 per cent of the world-wide power station achievement would be", so the professor of the Dresdner necessarily DOES. "in less than ten years the entire existing power station achievement for the enterprise of the Internets would not be sufficient any longer."
A police officer in a small town stopped a motorist who was speeding down Main Street. "But officer," the man began, "I can explain...""Just be quiet," snapped the officer. "I'm going to let you cool your heels in jail until the chief gets back.""But, officer, I just wanted to say...,""And I said to keep quiet! You're going to jail!" A few hours later the officer looked in on his prisoner and said, "Lucky for you that the chief's at his daughter's wedding. He'll be in a good mood when he gets back.""Don't count on it," answered the fellow in the cell. "I'm the groom.
Facebook vs. MySpace
How was it that I knew everyone who was living on my floor of my freshman dorm a month before I had even laid eyes on the building? How was it that I found out that girls phone number I met the night before even though I only caught half of her first name and her major? And how was it that I was able to see pictures of my long lost best friend from elementary school’s vacation to Kalamazoo? Obviously, the answer is Facebook, and it has dramatically changed the way in which college kids meet each other, share information, and essentially, live.
Facebook was launched in early 2004 by then Harvard student Mark Zuckerberg with a simple goal: to give college students a convenient and easy to use website through which they could share information about themselves and look up potentially necessary information about a friend. This was back in the day when they didn’t even own the domain name Facebook.com (remember good old TheFacebook.com?). Now, five years later, the company is valued somewhere in the tens of billions of dollars range. How did this happen? The answer is simple. There is no better place on the internet for advertisers to get such a focused demographic coupled with extremely high traffic. Originally you had to be a college student to register. If you didn’t have a valid myspace@facebookks.com address, you couldn’t sign up for Facebook. And for me and everyone I knew, we liked it that way. The system worked perfectly for everyone involved. Zuckerberg got his millions, advertisers got their targeted demographic, and the users got a well put together networking site that wasn’t bogged down by all the crap like MySpace was.
While Facebook lets you add and remove applications, MySpace lets you do whatever you want with the pages, if you know a little HTML that is. Unfortunately thats the reason MySpace’s design is so unruly for the most part.
