First it was the Star Wars and Star Trek and then the Mac vs. PC debate. And now? Now we’re debating whether or not Facebook is better than MySpace.

I personally don’t see the point in the debate. A lot of my friends prefer FaceBook to MySpace. I’m sort of embarrassed to be associated to a generation that are so quick to jump to the defense of a social working site –- A SOCIAL NETWORKING SITE, PEOPLE!!! Gosh, I prefer the Obama and Hillary debate to this any day.

This week, both companies got a chance to see the whites of the others eyes at the San Francisco Web 2.0 conference. I can see it now, little scrawny guys with plastic pocket protectors glaring over their MacBooks.

FaceBook and MySpace have been neck and neck in the war of the social-web world. After FaceBook allowed companies to make programs available to FaceBook users, MySpace followed suit this week.

I don’t see get why both companies are in such a mad rush to out do each other. As long as there are teenagers, with a billion friends, and the ability to make a website flicker and flash enough to give you a seizure there will be a need for social networking sites. Now excuse me while I make a sacrifice to my MySpace gods.
