Facebook moving up

Facebook seems to be the communication technology that many students are blogging about. I am not going to talk about the features and benefits as those have already been talked about. I want to talk about how Facebook has become such a hit. I think that many people are surprised with the growth of Facebook. As mentioned by some students the first major social network was MySpace. Everybody who was anybody had one. Then as fast as it started it went away with the invention of Facebook. I am not saying that MySpace is gone, or that people don’t use it, I have just noticed a trend that is shifting towards Facebook.
The sole reason that I feel that more people have shifted to Facebook is due to the over advertising that MySpace has done. At one point MySpace was making millions of dollars on ads run of MySpace. I feel that people just got a little tired of seeing advertisements everywhere they went. The interesting part is that Facebook does allow advertising on their sites; it’s just not as noticeable as it was on MySpace. I feel like MySpace launched a great networking idea and that Facebook just made it a little more user friendly. Who would have thought that and advertising change would allow one communication technology service to grow so fast.
