Social media sites like MySpace and Facebook soon popped up to fill these gaps. So why is Facebook more popular than MySpace? Perhaps it’s because of the simple design; MySpace profiles often play music that many may find annoying, and often have designs that are so “busy” that it can be difficult to read the information on the page. Facebook, on the other hand, has a clean and simple design. It’s easy to view pictures and read what’s going on in people’s lives.
