Orkut vs Facebook vs MySpace - which do you prefer?
September 4th, 2007 by Social Guy
If you’re young and Internet-savvy, you probably run an account on a social networking website.
And if you live in WWW, chances are that website is either Orkut or Facebook or MySpace.
Orkut is run by Google — the site was launched in January of 2004 and named after Orkut B�y�kk�kten, the Turkish Google employee responsible for its creation. It helps you meet new friends, get in touch with old ones and permits the creation of community forums that users can be part of.
Facebook, on the other hand, was initially a website reserved strictly for students of Harvard University. It was launched in February of 2004 and gradually extended its membership to include students from other universities across the globe. Today anyone with a valid email address and falling within a specific age group can sign up for a Facebook account. It also offers members the chance to join groups online and run forums within them. Facebook is particularly known for its photo-sharing feature.
MySpace is an online community that lets you meet your friends’ friends. Create a private community on MySpace and you can share photos, journals and interests with your growing network of mutual friends!
So we want to know — which of these two popular websites goes down better with you and why?
Do you run accounts on both websites? Which do you prefer?

I like facebook because it has more features and applications. It also has better security as only friends can view my profile.

Facebook is way better mainly because of its privacy settings that only my friends can view my full profile n album etc..n its got loads of applications also...although orkut is also good..but since most of my frds are on orkut i use that more otherwise facebook is better.

I have a myspace and a facebook account. I prefer to use myspace because it is more user friendly and way more customizable. I do web and graphic design for a living so I like being able to create my own backgrounds and ambience on my page. Also, facebook hinders you from searching for old friends. While that is great for security purposes, you can't just surf for a person you remember from high school and click on their profile to see if it's them. You have to first run the risk of having to say, "Oh, I'm sorry, I thought you were someone else..."

I have Myspace, and Facebook. I only have about 2 friends on Facebook since none of them want to move away from Myspace. I don't think they want to switch even with all the spam (which has gotten better the last few days).

For me, Orkut is best. It has great features, functionality and usability. It's not has poor built like My Space.
I can say that it is best for being in contact with our friends.

I like myspace better. It is better for the websites that I want traffic to. With over 3500 friends, I do not want to move.
