Facebook vs MySpace

Although I am part of the tech savvy generation I am still taken aback by the popularity of social networks. It seems everybody I meet has an account on either MySpace or Facebook or both. What I don't get is the appeal. Why would somebody want to share there personal information and thoughts with millions of people they have never met? I don't like sharing with people I have known for years (that's mostly paranoia). So due to my immense curiosity I decided to open an account in Facebook (MySpace will be at a later date). It was a painless process. I thought the initial setup would require a lot of information but all they required was a name, an email, and a location. That worked for me. Thankfully I still had my college email still active so I sidestepped the potential problem of using my personal email and not getting into a certain college network. This is just the beginning of my adventure in Facebook but certain things occurred to me.

1) MySpace scares the crap out of me. I don't think I have the creativity or rock hard pecks (yet) to really take advantage of it.
2) Facebook is less intimidating because not everyone can see me.
3) I have a reluctance of using my home computer. I am a software engineer and after 8/9/10 hours a day I do not want to touch another computer, which kills my email correspondence. I just tell them I don't like them because I am too lazy to tell them the truth.
4) I don't have that many friends. See previous statement.

But I'm on Facebook now. Time to make some new friends. Tomorrow........maybe.
