Flickr and Facebook...

...neither are favorties of mine. I have had accounts at both sites for a few a couple of years. Neither has been my favorite. Until recently, I ignored that I even had a facebook account. Facebook to me seemed very impersonal. While I have heard some people say they liked facebook for its simplicity, I prefer Myspace because I can make it my own. I dislike facebook even more at this point because it took away the simplicity but did not add anything that can really make your site exclusively yours. All the applications, while fun, are added by multitudes of people making everyone the same as everyone else. Let's just face it....when it pops up on your screen that you have been bitten by one of your friends and turned into a vampire 50 times a day...its annoying as hell.

Flickr...well it has a lot of fun components as well, but at the end of the day all I want to do is find a place to host my image so I can use sed image elsewhere. I don't really need to see every photo that has a certain color in it. Maybe its just me being selfish. I prefer Myspace which may just be a nod to my age and photobucket, which may make me seem positively geriatric.
