Today I had an appointment to at the writing center, I had just started my paper the Monday before but I still felt like the points that I was trying to make in my paper was not clear. So today I met with a teacher at the writing center named Randy and he helped me with my MySpace and FaceBook comparison essay. Randy helped me get a better clear point on how MySpace and FaceBook are similar and by us agreeing on these topics I got to understand more about FaceBook since I am more comfortable with MySpace since I have a MySpace. Randy helped me point out how these two sites are similar in some applications but also very different but I decided just to give in detail on how these sites really are very similar to the T. My experience at the writing center also helped me with an outline for my essay because I could have laid-out my paragraphs in different ways by listing the similarities either one after the other or listing everything about MySpace and then listing everything about FaceBook. I also was able to use a bubble brainstorm to help me connect everything that is similar with MySpace and FaceBook. Since my helper at the writing center was a FaceBook user he explained to me how FaceBook worked and I told him how Myspace worked and we both got to point out what was similar and what was different and how FaceBook used this application and how MySpace used another application, but all of their main points that they aim for are all similar and that really is the main picture in if they really are different or the same and I personally think that they are the same because people use MySpace and FaceBook for the same reasons and just because MySpaces layout is different from FaceBook does not mean that they are different because like I said the main point is that they are used for the same reasons, like communicating with people by keeping in contact or meeting new people, expressing themselves by blogging and updating their status, and by being able to limit the users friends to who the user would like by being able to accept and deny and friend request that was sent to that user, by this the user can over look who would like to be their friend to see if they know the person or maybe just a new user.
