I am writing an article on the difference between Facebook and MySpace and I need some input. Could everyone please answer these questions and comment back to me? I will not record any data from you or give names… It’s for statistical information only.

NOTE: IF YOU CAN’T ANSWER ALL OF THE QUESTIONS THAT IS FINE. PLEASE ANSWER THE ONES THAT YOU CAN.

1. Do you have a Facebook account?
2. If yes, how often to you use it?
3. Which do you prefer, Facebook or MySpace?
4. Why?
5. For those of you who use Facebook, do you feel that you must use Facebook to keep up with classmates that went to college?
6. For those of you who use Facebook, how often do you see drama on Facebook? How much more or less than MySpace? (Examples of drama: photos of someone’s latest one night stand, a couple breaking up and having a fight on their profile, pictures of someone packing away their 12 pack of beer, etc.)
7. Do you feel that Facebook is a cleaner site because of the clean “main” template used over the entire site or a damper on a person’s individuality? Why?
8. For those of you who use Facebook, do you feel that the new friend notification feed is an invasion of privacy and unnecessary? If so, why? If not, why?
9. For those of you who use Facebook, do you feel that zounds of applications that Facebook provides to it’s users to play around with is an unnecessary clutter to a profile or something fun to pass the time? Why?

11. Do you find it’s more difficult to find someone on Facebook or MySpace? Why?
12. Do you feel that the “goodie two shoes, preps, jocks and other good kids join Facebook while the stoners, burn outs, punks, emos, Goths, and other genres of individualities that aren’t socially accepted in schools join MySpace?
13. Do you feel that you use MySpace more for social networking (commenting, messaging, sharing information) or for media (watching videos, listening to band music, listening to comedians, etc.)?
14. For those of you who use Facebook, have you ever been spammed, phished, or hacked on Facebook? If so, what happened?
15. If you use both, which one do you find yourself logging into first: Facebook or MySpace? Why?
16. How often do you check your Facebook/MySpace accounts?
17. How old is your oldest friend on Facebook/MySpace? (If they are your family please put “relation” after the age.)
