 Coolness: 102770 | Really? you are basing your statements on what data ? or are you just inferring?
There is a lot of Americans ( esp. adolescents ) who never heard of Facebook. Orkut is popular in Asia and Latin America. I never hear of it before. Update » Trey wrote on Mon Nov 5, 2007 @ 3:31pm just because it is popular here doesn't mean it's popular everywhere else. |

 Coolness: 52960 | Hey Trey
I got my data from ComScore Media Matrix Its the industry standard in Canada. Advertising buyers use it to plan online advertising strategies. Their data seems do differ quite a bit from what you got. Total Unique visitors Aug 2006 Aug 2007 Myspace Facebook 47313387 Update » davesob wrote on Mon Nov 5, 2007 @ 4:23pm thats wierd, I wasn't finished......
anyways, here: Total Unique visitors in thousands Aug 2006 Aug 2007 Myspace Facebook 47313387 Update » davesob wrote on Mon Nov 5, 2007 @ 4:31pm Oh, I get it......every time I hit TAB it basically submits what I have written.
so last year aug 2006 Facebook had 473,000 and Myspace had 4,351,000 this year aug 2007 Facebook has 13,841,000 Myspace has 4,615,000 I guess the difference is due to the fact that my source is for Canada and Nielsen must be International... |

 Coolness: 93105 | nelboy, a tool I think has a lot of potential, though still a number of bugs and short commings for music promotion is reverbnation... I understand what you mean though, between posting gigs or music updates on facebook/myspace, it can take a lot of time...
Also, I agree dave, if someone came up with a shareware app that functionned like trillian for personal pages so you could multiple login and update and blog, would be tres awesome... i think its a coding issue though, since each site is proprietory and coded differently.... like the issue of spaming friends through lists, a lot of sites offer address book harvesting, but most of them differ in support or function, meaning the most reliable is still having a notepad with a long and boring list of email addys seperated by semi-colons... Ufot-may the futur be bright and clean |

yup, definitely, at time of writing, facebook is less invasive than myspace, although that could all change overnight... I'm talking about the number of advertisments myspace carries versus facebook... i'm talking about macy's hacking into everyone's account, i'm talking about people who don't know you or give a fuck about you requesting your cyber friendship... tell me, how is facebook more invasive in that respect?? |

 Coolness: 69065 | The cost of (anti-)social networks: Identity, agency and neo-luddites, by Ryan Bigge
Abstract : The media coverage and resultant discourse surrounding social networking sites such as Facebook, MySpace and Friendster contain narratives of inevitability and technological determinism that require careful explication. Borrowing a tactic from the Russian Futurists, this paper attempts to make strange (that is, to defamiliarize) social network sites and their associated discourses by drawing upon an eclectic but interrelated set of metaphors and theoretical approaches, including: the digital enclosure, network sociality, socio-technical capital and Steven Jones’s recent examination of neo-Luddites. Whenever appropriate, this paper will integrate relevant magazine and newspaper journalism about social networking sites. Contents Invisible Work Hit Any Key to Continue The Politics of Amateurism ‘Dividual Enclosure A Garden of Clicks and Cliques Enforced Volunteerism Conclusion entire article can be found here : [ www.firstmonday.org ] ..'basically, bigge argues that use of social networking sites can actually be seen as unpaid work. in using such facebook et al, we’re essentially producing a stream of self-surveillance that can be monitored, repackaged and sold. for example, taken collectively, we’re voluntarily producing huge databases of our preferences that are a marketers dream (think recommendations on [ amazon.com ] - customers who bought this also liked…) its the darker side of web 2.0’s utopian wisdom of crowds that created wikipedia. but also more broadly, the entire value of facebook is entirely in its users and the networks they’ve created, without any financial compensation. writing in the same vein as bigge, fred scharmen notes that even on flickr, the users are creating all the content that drives visits to the site, which in turn provides the eyeballs that can be sold to advertisers. did you know myspace also claims ownership of its user’s profiles? so even your online identity is commodifiable content.'...
