Facebook vs. MySpace

Are MySpace and Facebook competitors? Absolutely not! Facebook is a tool used to connect you with people you already know offline with an objective of efficiency. On the other hand, MySpace is filled with modern media like music, videos and comedy. It's vibe is loud, packed with chaos and it's objective is to allow members to express themselves through music, page layouts and different text styles.

Some say that in the perfect world of interactive online media, MySpace and Facebook cannot survive side by side, but in fact they can. We need to recognize that what each offers is completely different from each other and both MySpace and Facebook have big plans for the future.

MySpace appeals to the Fashion Community

When I think My Space, demographically I envision teenagers expressing their emotions and feelings through blog posts, layouts, songs and pictures. I am completely wrong! According to comScore, most MySpacers are 35 years old and up making anywhere from $40,000-$60,000 annually. Maybe that's why MySpace redesigned it's website on Tuesday to appeal to their older, more fashionably inclined members.

With New York Fashion week right around the corner (Sept 5-Sept 12), higher-definition pictures for fashion videos from Instyle Magazine, behind-the-scene footage of high fashion photo shoots and how-to video's of makeup application had been added to the website. Also included are video's from aspiring designers, the upcoming seasons fall swatches, daily fashion trends and a line up of celebrity video dairies labled "The Fit."

Within the MySpace community lies subcultures anywhere from music bands and genres to cars and comedy, why not fashion? As MySpace supports Fashion Week this year, fellow MySpacer's will be able to identify themselves with one more community on the Web.
