Does twitter, facebook, and myspace help keep people informed?

Hello everyone, I hope that your week was as great as mine, finishing up almost all my homework and preparing for finals. Today we’re going to talk about something im addicted to. No, it isn’t drugs, its facebook, and its friends Twitter and Myspace. We are going to discuss if they help keep people buying things. Looking at them with media eyes and how much they advertise inside of each and every little space of web they own.

So lets start with twitter, taking a closer look, the page itself doesn’t seem to be doing too much advertising. I don’t really seemed to be bombarded until I start subscribing to peoples tweets. These include president Obama, and several recording rap artists and Tila Tequila. Once you subscribe to these people, you are bombarded with when their concert dates are, new cds are coming out to when they are going to be on Jay Leno. I believe this is their way of advertising, and can be overwhelming if you subscribe to too many people.

Facebook is what im addicted to, and they have adds everywhere, they are mostly on the top of the screen and the right. They are never really overbearing as much as they are there to inform you of their products. I enjoy facebook very much as there is no spam on my walls, nothing too overbearing besides it being on the side of my information.

Myspace is a different story, anyone and their dog has a myspace account. They are allowed to modify myspace in to a degree in which it can only have your name, to so many pictures and adds and music that your computer will not even load it. They have spam bots that go from profile to profile to get you to come to their website to buy products. You never add new friends unless you specifically know them, because they might end up giving you a virus.

Myspace has too many adds, Twitter is great unless you are subscribed to too many people such as artists etc. While facebook has the win with only stationary adds that you have to click on to see and is more person to person.

These are the wins in my book. Signing out (FOREVER) Yay ..
