Myspace and Facebook Critical Review

Myspace and Facebook are two of the biggest social networking websites, although Facebook has become more popular than Myspace. Myspace was the most popular social networking website in June 2006 until Facebook took over in April 2008. Myspace was created by Tom Anderson and Facebook was created by Mark Zuckerberg. Myspace and Facebook are great ways to stay in touch with your old friends.  You have friends on both these websites that you can request or people can request you. Myspace started off more as a social networking site, but many people changed to Facebook and now Myspace is used more for music. Musicians can put their music on their to get more fans. Facebook is mostly used for social purposes. On Facebook and Myspace, you can create a profile. People that you are friends with can comment on your profile and you can comment on theirs. You can also upload pictures that people can comment on. This keeps you in touch with people in your life. For entertainment purposes on Myspace, you can check out your favorite bands profiles. On Facebook, you can "like" groups of different topics that interest you. For recreational purposes, Myspace and Facebook users can use these websites to communicate easily with the people in their lives, play games, view pictures and videos, as well as many other things. These websites however can be abused. Many people start fights over the Internet that normally wouldn't because it is easier for them to say it over the internet then to someone's face. These sites may also be dangerous because you can meet strangers on it or somebody can pretend to be somebody they are not. Besides this, MySpace and Facebook are great sites for social, entertainment, and recreational purposes.

LinkedIn Critical Review

LinkedIn is a social networking site mostly used by businesses. It is the world's largest professional website. LinkedIn can help people with their business, social life, and keep them up to date with daily news. Business owners can use linked to expand their businesses and sell their products. People who are searching for jobs can look at profiles of managers who are hiring. If you find a job you are interested in, you can bookmark it. For social purposes, LinkedIn can keep you in touch with coworkers and employers. It allows you to connect with people you know and businesses you would like to know more about. You have a contact list of people called "connections". For news purposes, businesses can post daily news and upcoming events occurring within their business. It also shows people jobs that are available. Although Linked can be very resourceful, there is also a downside. People can lie about their professions on this website. Also, if a person makes one bad comment on the website, it can be linked to your job and it may ruin your entire career or get in big trouble. Aside from this, LinkedIn is a very useful social networking site that can help businesses interact with other businesses and people.
