I was having a conversation with other agents in my office and many of them seemed to think it was okay to be on either Facebook or Myspace, but one agent seemed to think Facebook was more professional. Not knowing the difference I opened a Myspace page because I knew some family members had their own pages, and I would have a chance to have some on-line friends. However, my nephew made me reconsider my new-found on-line-profile.
My nephew told my that Myspace is not for old people, and he said that my ripe age of 27 was too old to be on Myspace. After looking for many of my "real" friends, who are my age, but not on Myspace I moved to Facebook. The only difference I see on Facebook is the plain look.
On Myspace, I have music, background pictures, moods, games, comments, and videos. Facebook does have that plain feel to it but more of my "old" friends are on Facebook. But Myspace and Facebook both seem to be a congregation of moods and comments. "Chris is hungry," "Chris is bored," "Chris is going to the movies," "Hey Chris let's go to the movies," "why are you hungry?" Well, you get the picture.
Maybe we should all have Myspace pages to feel young again, which would allow us to understand the younger generation. We can have a Facebook page to have discussions with out professional peers in our professions. But then I think about ActiveRain and the other hundred blog spots.
All I know is that I have more friends on-line then I ever had in "real" life, and I communicate with family and friends across the globe. One down side is I am no longer tan and can't tell you how the weather is outside anymore, but at least I have all my on-line clients and friends!
I am curious about how many people are on Myspace or Facebook. So how many of you use either Facebook or Myspace?
Have a nice day everyone!
Christopher
