Comparing SNS: Facebook, Myspace, Meetup



For this week's assignment, I decided to compare two popular social networking sites with one that used to be extremely popular but isn't as widely used anymore.



Facebook
Myspace
Meetup
Summary
Allows user to keep up with friends, share photos, links and videos, and learn more about the people they meet.
Similar to Facebook where users can keep tabs on friends and share video and photos. Users maintain profiles and add friends to their network. It’s a good way to discover new trends in entertainment.


Composed of a large network of local groups where users can organize a group or find one of the thousands already in place.
