Facebook and MySpace

I took the Site Tour at Facebook. It looks like a very simple way to set up a blog, maybe easier than blogger.com. The advantage is that it has been user-network focused - you are in the group at your college or high school or company. Therefore, you have some idea of whom you trust to share your info. You also have a reason to share with these people because they are in a physical community where you interact OFF the computer as well as online. It is interesting to read how the users protested when the company recently decided to automatically share people's updates with the rest of the group. The users were very concerned about privacy and got the company to amend the changes. I wonder if the intense reaction is because Facebook has more college and work groups than high school groups and they care more about protecting their privacy. Maybe all the younger kids on MySpace just love the idea of being out there in front of the whole world.
