Facebook MySpace Join Hands

High-ranking executives at both Facebook and MySpace confirm that the companies are in talks over some sort of content partnership—a development that isn’t a big surprise to at least one observer. Formerly intense competitors in the social-networking sphere, Caroline McCarthy writes, now “Facebook’s the one providing the platform for the content; MySpace is the one providing the content itself.” “While MySpace can build its street cred as “a pop culture hub,” McCarthy adds on CNET, “for Facebook, meanwhile, you could take this as a ‘look, we've won’ move. After all, it’s a validation of the power of the social network’s content platform that a company like MySpace—which used to dwarf Facebook in size—would want to use it for distribution.”

i dont have accounts on these sites but my friends are actually encouraging me every single day..
Posted By mllovric mllovric | 27 days ago
Although I have an account in both of them, I don't use them very much and
I don't like them. Same goes for you tube. Last week, I received 2 messages for friend requests from 2 facebook members. I logged in but when
I tried to confirm friends for them and send a message to them to become my fans on allvoices.com, I got a on screen message, your message will not
be sent because it seems you are sending spam. I couldn't send my two new friends an e~mail because the 2 e~mails I received from facebook were not
e~mail recepient. I was not allowed to search for friends and for the two asking me to become my friends, message said, non existent. To notify my so called new friends, I opened my own site in facebook where
I pasted a message for them. 28/10/2009.

delete them. they are probably both hackers or phishers. i go through my friends list on occasions to delete these crap that i unintentionally added. myspace and facebook have a lot of that. but they are both getting better on controlling that. i have seen less of it on those sites these days.
Posted By RaulDeSouza RaulDeSouza | 27 days ago
yes i understand mllovric but its for your own good therwise it will only increase your spam mail..
Its a global community..
Posted By fifileigh fifileigh | 26 days ago
i have both myspace and facebook, and i think they are the same for me. i dont see one better than the other. i do the same thing on both. check email, chat, play games, or check out forums.

I don't use anything except allvoices to work on, anybody sends messages usually from facebook asking for friends, I can usually confirm it. On the
other hand when a completely strange woman contacts me and starts calling
me love after reading my stories on allvoices, I become suspicious of her.
I'm glad to have got rid of the Canadian. She stopped her contacts after I
sent her a picture of my wife and told her I'm not traveling to Canada for
any job or anything. 29/10/2009.
