Facebook

Q• Why do you think social networking sites are so popular? What are the main appeal factors?

A. I think social networking sites such as Facebook and MySpace are so popular, because they allow people to express themselves, their interests, their talents (many use the sites to promote their own bands for example), as well as allowing people to keep in touch with their friends and family. Facebook, especially gives you the opportunity to find old classmates and co-workers and is great for keeping up to date with the going ons of friends who you never get the chance to see.

Also, Facebook is great for event invites, like parties, and for groups specific to a particular interest. You can also share interesting things, like photos, links to youtube videos, etc. MySpace is not as popular as Facebook, but I have noticed that is mostly used to promote bands, in fact many started off on MySpace to only get a record deal after the fact.
