Myspace or Facebook - which one to choose?

If you have been joining us for our recent podcasts you will know we have been exploring new social networking tools such as Facebook and Twitter.

I recently wrote an article titled "Which Social Networking Site Should You Use?" and proposed that given that many of these networks are available at no cost, I take the approach that why not ensure that you build a profile to reflect your personal brand on-line in all the different online communities, so that if someone looks for you they will be sure to find you.

Today I was reading an interesting article that covered MySpace and Facebook and did an analysis on them both. If you listened to our recent podcast about Facebook you will know that we are fast becoming fans of Facebook and you will see that the author of the article, Mark Sullivan, is also predicting that Facebook will be king.

What do you think? If you are on Facebook already, be sure to introduce yourself as a friend of the PodCast Sisters won't you?

Facebook has always attracted an older crowd (i.e., college). And most recently, with their open platform, it has made it a choice network for more professional folks.

What do you think about LinkedIn?

@Vikram - actually LinkedIn was the first network I started with online. I think in terms of executives in corporates it is an online network that many people find more acceptable though it does not have the functionality available at no cost that Facebook has.

It certainly is somewhere if you are manager or leader that you should add your profile to as it is often used by executive recruiters and it also shows up in Google which is helpful fo building your personal brand online.

@Mark - thanks for stopping by. Do come back and share with us about your new social networking site when you launch won't you. We are especially interested in sharing tools that are useful for people who are not technically literate.
