Facebook Surpasses MySpace as World's Most Popular Social Network
When it comes to online social networks, MySpace has long been the proverbial 800-pound gorilla. Lately that's been changing, with Facebook quickly bulking up and catching its rival, signing up far more people each month than MySpace. As of two months ago, the 'Book (founded by Marc Zuckerberg, pictured) finally surpassed its rival, becoming the most visited social network in the world.MySpace still dominates in the U.S., where it attracts about 65-million visitors each month -- Facebook pulls in a relatively paltry 25-mil. However, both are attracting over 115-million worldwide, with Facebook now taking a slight lead. That trend is expected to continue, largely thanks to the site's integration with other online destinations via hundreds of applications. This is an area were MySpace is fighting back via its new data availability initiative, letting you access your MySpace info from other sites like Flickr.
However, since a security flaw in that same initiative helped to expose the private profiles of Lindsay Lohan and Paris Hilton, we're putting our money on Facebook in the long run. [Source: TechCrunch]

YES, but now we're getting a lot of spammers and scammers on Facebook. Some applications that provide certain bonuses actually harbor e-mail spammers that will start to spam your Facebook-associated email's inbox the very moment you type the address.
And on Facebook Marketplace, I have received fraudulent purchase offers from what appear to be stolen or phantom Facebookers (first they ask you if you accept checks, then they ask you if you can trust them so they can send you ludicrously-huge checks drawn from stolen or non-existing bank accounts so you can then deduct your price and handling fees for your item and then re-wire the rest via Western Union to some phantom private shipper who would supposedly pick up your item; and the names and addresses on the checks don't match those on their UPS envelopes or even those on their Facebook profiles).
And most recently, there are several Facebookers who post cyber-sex invitations or other fraudulent links on open-to-everybody Facebook groups, thus forcing several group admins to permanently close their Walls or disable photo submissions.
So watch out and be careful not to fall into SPAM or SCAM!!!

Had both at one point, just to spy on people and read their personal business. Their personal business was boring and homogeneous; all anyone talked about was the same old fashion, trendy (and boring) TV shows, and bad things about other people. Yawn. Needless to say, I deleted them both shortly after creating them.
