Is Facebook becoming more like MySpace?

Posted by Chris at 19:43

The whole social networking web sites bypassed me due to work. I figured working in a school it's not the best thing to do to sign up to a social networking site as you normally end up with students trying to add you as friends. That was until I found Facebook. The security on the website is great, being able to hide your profile, only let your friends see pictures with you tagged in, I thought that was excellent. It was a great simple website that you had your profile, your friends, information and that was pretty much it.
Now it seems that everybody is adding lots of applications, and when you add a Facebook application you can send a message to everyone of your friends telling them that you've added this excellent application and you want to share it with everybody else. So within 24 hours you have something like this,

To me having all of these extra applications means the website is starting to become like MySpace.

How many times have you looked at a MySpace profile and found it suddenly starts blaring out music when you really don't want it to? Slightly annoying when you have your laptop plugged into the stereo listening to iTunes quite loudly and then you get some rubbish low quality music playing over your music. That just winds me up. So you then start banning all of the annoying music applications with Adblock in Firefox.

 

I do agree with this web link, Facebook: How Complicated Has This Site Become?
