Well I have been a member of Myspace for five years now, but I have only been using Facebook for two. Both of these sites are great for networking and finding old friends and family or just being able to send a quick birthday or get well message to people. I think as a teacher this site might work well if all of your students had an account, but unless you are a Middle or High School teacher the probability of your students using these sites is very low. You could post messages giving instructions or if students had a question they could message the teacher and you would be able to answer them in real time if you kept it open an available. I think they both have two redeeming qualities, on Myspace you can personalize your page with HTML, a music player, pictures, and any text style you want, this is not offered on Facebook. Facebook on the other hand lets you know what other people are doing in real time as they post thier status.

I liked how you pointed out all of MySpace's good qualities! Facebook (admittedly, my favorite) has taken the limelight over the past couple of years, but myspace still has a lot to offer. Great post!
