Hello World!

I took a few days off from my Blog to setup a MySpace for this Blog. I have had a personal MySpace account for a while now, but I keep being asked why I don’t have a Facebook account.
So, I’m’ just curious if anyone who has both can comment on the pros and cons of the two?

Am I missing out on something?

What’s your favorite and why?

The first recognizable Social Networking Site launched in 1997, with the now defunct SixDegrees.com and the world was never the same! There is now an explosion of SNSs taking over the net, big names like; MySpace, Facebook, Cyworld, Bebo, LiveJournal, YouTube, etc... New sites pop up all the time and each has their own little niche. Now you have sites like Twitter, identi.ca, Friendfeed, seesmic, etc., etc., etc... Not to mention all the Blog communities like some of the 85+ I listed here.

What does this mean to you as a Blogger? Just one more way to get the buzz started about your Blog. Join one or join them all, it’s all about the time you want to commit to networking and what fits best with the concept of your Blog.

I have had a MySpace that I worked fairly hard with a previous Blog and did see a moderate amount of traffic from it. I think I may start one for this Blog as well. Like I said early though, it all depends on the concept of your Blog and the type of traffic you are trying to get.

Today I read on Shoemoney about a new site called 12seconds.tv. It looks like a cross between YouTube and Twitter, where as you have quick updates in the form of 12 second video clips. I have not signed up yet, but I may soon.

Here is an actual study (and the basis of this post) on why people use SNSs and the history of them.
