I've had a MySpace account for several months and it's a great way to keep in touch with friends, as well as re-connect with some old friends. I just joined FaceBook to compare it to MySpace and each has its pros and cons. MySpace seems to be more user-friendly and it is easier to navigate other people's pages. Perhaps it is because MySpace seems to be targeted towards a younger audience, while Facebook seems to be appealing to an slightly older audience, as the Web 2.0 description suggests.
I think social networking sites are popular because you can customize your webpage for "friends" to see and you are given the opportunity to see other "friends'" webpages. All of your "friends" are listed on one site and you can see what they are up to.
Even though you can make your settings private, I am afraid to post things and/or pictures that I wouldn't want people outside of my "friends" group to see. I just try to keep in mind that these sites are still in the public domain, in a sense.
