It's time to the throw down prizefight fans. I’m Brian Tong and we are here to find out who is the top dog for social networking supremacy. Do I know you? You know who. She what? All come in questions in the real world that are now taking place online. In this week’s prizefight it’s a face off between two of the internets heaviest hitters. It’s a battle royale between MySpace vs. Facebook. We have got 5 rumble tumble rounds. So lets see who’s got the goods. First up its all about the user interface. Let’s just take a look at the log in home page for MySpace. Wow, there is sure a lot going on there.

And let’s check out Facebook’s, and its pretty clean and straightforward. Those two pages alone basically tell you what you will be getting into. MySpace is just real busy with a lot of links, a lot of ads and a little too much action going on. And when you navigate pages, you are also at the mercy of the user’s personal layout which can be painful. Now Facebbok is a whole lot cleaner an easier to use. We aren’t being bombarded by advertisements well yet anyways and it’s a real bright and surreal look that’s really consistent with every profile. Facebook beats him with a punch with a 4 in this round and MySpace gets a 3.

Next round customization. Now MySpace gives you the ultimate control to personalize your profile page using HTML. There are different layout styles, and better multi media and anything you want you could basically have. It also launched a new application platform that lets you add widgets and web apps to your profile. Now Facebook allows you to add all these fun and quirky kind of apps by rearranging and resizing your page and dragging and dropping them in. There’s no HTML code editing and you can’t even change the color scheme of your profiles at the moment, that’s a huge bummer. MySpace counters this round with a 5 because you could do anything you want to it for better for worse. And Facebook gets 4 thanks to its matured app platform.

Now you may like your own home page to have personality but which side brings it when it comes to attitude and tone. Sure, New Score bought it but MySpace started with bands and artists using it as a promotional tool and music is still a major part of the experience. It’s also packed with celebrity profiles and multi media and it still has an independent feel to it. Now, Facebook well it was created by a guy from Harvard. People praise it for its clean looks and controlled feel but at the same time, it’s a little stuffy. Dare I say, geeky? Now we are handing out 4s to both My Space and Facebook for their different approaches that work for both of them. Now we are tied at 12 apiece and next round it’s all about privacy. MySpace profiles are public by default and there isn’t any sort of age verification yet.

But it’s being added very soon. You can also constantly get spam and it can be pretty annoying. MySpace gets a whole lot of flak but you can really lay low if you want to. Now Facebook has privacy customization that you can tweak for everything on the site and there is a lot less spam on Facebook. I haven’t received a single piece yet. Cross my fingers. Facebook gets a 4 and MySpace gets a 3 in this round. These prizefights are always neck and neck with one more round left to go. How do you spend your time on these sites? Well, the final deciding round is all about time blown. MySpace is loaded with exclusive music previews from your favorite artists and there are more streaming videos as well.

Now Facebook takes on another approach with its extensive group of applications that keep people coming back for more. Can you say scrabulous? Now giving gifts and super poky people becomes super addicting. In the final round, Facebook gets a 4, and MySpace gets a 3. The final score is 20 to 18. Facebook reigns victorious in another slobber knocker. I’m Brian Tong we will catch you guys next time on another prizefight.
