Now Facebook on the other hand.... I can really see that having longevity because your highschool/university classmates end up becoming your professional network too. Facebook may not be as loud as MySpace, but I feel like there's so much more potential there.... of course there is not yet an emphasis on video and most of the network is closed off if you don't have a .edu email address. Someone recently told me that the difference between MySpace and Facebook (many users have accounts in both social networks) is that MySpace is the "avatar" me and Facebook is the "real" me. Identities on MySpace are flexible and ever changing. Identities on Facebook are more tangible and persistent. As graduates move on from college, I'm sure they will be connected to their alumni network through Facebook. MySpace, I'm not so sure about. -Josh On 3/2/06, Peter Van Dijck <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > is young but.....and this is a big but.....what if they continue to > > use it after High School and College? > > I think that's as unlikely as your daughter who is into goth still > wearing those clothes in 10 years. > > Myspace is about unsupervised hanging out, friends and identity. > That's why teens like it.
