I just opened a Facebook account instead of MySpace after seeing that Facebook seems much more strict on what they will show to a casual websurfer or to a registered Facebook member. The best I could do there when I found a person of interest is just see a very small profile photo of him/her (provided they have one), their full name, and only the list of Facebook Friends they have. Can't go any further unless he/she adds you as a Friend before you can see more stuff from them.
MySpace seems a lot more looser unless the user sets their page to private, otherwise anyone - registered or not - can see what you have and what information may be valuable to them, pertinent and/or incriminating (like embarrassing photos).
I'm concerned that when I apply for jobs, employers will attempt to research me on the 'net, and I read countless stories about employers using MySpace to research candidates. I figure Facebook is too restrictive for them to dig in.
Did I make the right choice?
