What is the difference between a blog and a facebook and what one is a myspace.

Answer 1
A blog is an online journal. The word "blog" is even shorthand for "weblog." The main point of blogs is to write about stuff going on in your head and life. You can have links to friends and sometimes they make comments, but the whole point of a blog is to write thoughts down -- whether it be viewpoints or what you did that day, etc.

Facebook is about keeping in touch with friends. You post pictures, write comments, play games with apps... it's a social networking tool. Facebook is built to be more interactive than a blog. You visit Facebook for the people while you visit blogs for what people have written. Plus, you can put a blog into your Facebook, but you can't put your Facebook profile into a blog.

Myspace and Facebook are the same: social networking websites. Blogs are "weblogs" and include LiveJournal, Xanga, and Blogger.

Answer 2
MySpace seems to be more of the creative way to express yourself. You can add music, a layout, whatever tickles your fancy. You have top friends and a lot more people have it. Since a lot more people have it, a lot more people read your blogs, which could be a good or bad thing. I particularly like MySpace for the blogs because they are easy to write in and very organized.

Facebook is more on a first and last name basis. You can join a network by school, region, or job. It's a convenient way to locate the people around you. The wall allows you to see the communication going on with your friends and it saves time if you are interested in seeing who someone has been taking to. Facebook is a what you see is what you get kind of thing.

A blog is more like LiveJournal, etc. Not a good way to stay in touch, but more of a way to express yourself without the pen and the pad. It's a great way to express your thoughts and then press the delete button in a couple days when you think that your thoughts were insane.Collapse this post
