Social networking sites are still relatively new.  It began of course with the â??granddaddyâ? of them allâ??MySpace.  However, with the birth of Facebook, competition began to arise in the realm of social networking.  It was not just about a way to get in touch with friends and old acquaintances anymore.  MySpace thought that personalization was the key to being popular.  Therefore, it integrated new ways to allow users to make their page a part of themselves with creative backgrounds, coloring, and text.  Facebook thought that a different direction was necessary.  The route of special games and applications was adopted by them, and no one can deny that it is working.  Farmtown has become a total phenomenon, attracting all users of Facebook whether they are a high school student or a mom.  New games such as Rollercoaster Kingdom and Cafe World are growing in popularity as well.  Does this mean MySpace is becoming obsolete?  Not necessarily.  They have integrated Twitter into their services and have a great connection to the film and music industries.  You are just going to have to use the two sites for different things, and the choice is up to you as far as your preferences go.
