Myspace & Facebook; Uses and Gratifications

I think for myself out of all the articles that we have been required to read this is the first one that I actually felt I for the most part enjoyed. I think this is because many of us users really relate to what is being said, because we all use these social medias for personal interaction thats for sure. I learned myself that its very true that SNS has attracted millions of people looking to communicate with others. I personally use my facebook to talk with friends, co workers, old classmates, new classmates and family. But I think that we take the approach to it, because it takes away from the most important thing you can use for any type of relationship, which is face to face interaction. I also learned that over the past 5 years, facebook and myspace have been the top 2 rated SNS on the web today! Another thing that I learned is that facebook was first intended just for college students. I found it very useful to know that what drives people (in case I didnt know myself) are blogs, walls, photos, and stuff of that sort, you would think that in particular you would want to use this just to connect with other people and to keep those that you want close, close. I really feel that this article was very informing, because it actually gave me a chance to look into the logistics behind why these sites were built, and for whom.
