Danah Boyd’s article “Social Network Site Taste Test:  MySpace or Facebook?” addresses the major difference that attract people, teens specifically to that site.  The difference that is the main discrepancy between the two sites is the personalization of someone’s profile.  MySpace allows the user total freedom in choosing their background, layout and even the addition of music.  Facebook, on the other hand, does not.  It gives users minimum control of their profile only letting them choose images and other information to share on the designated background that every user is given.  This difference affects the different groups of friends or people that are drawn to each site.  The preference all depends on taste as the article’s title says, because not everyone wants the crazy colors and flashing letters that MySpace offers, or the boring white and blue that Facebook provides.  However, the article does not address other reasons why someone would prefer one site over the other.  Some prefer Facebook because of the different features, like setting images and videos to be viewed by a select group of people rather than your entire “friends” list.  This makes Facebook easier to use and provides the user with more privacy.  In the end whether someone uses MySpace or Facebook is a choice based solely off of personal preference.
