Myspace

Instead of looking around on random pages of people I didn’t know, I just started looking through a few of my friend’s pages. For the most part the guys and girls pages are very similar. For the most part, basic bold colors were used for the backgrounds of the guys’ pages. The guys’ had the typical “boyish colors” like blue and green, while the girls used pinks and purples. Sometimes a picture was used but nothing too elaborate. On the girls’ pages, many basic colors were used but more pictures were used all over the place. On a few of those pages, glittery, shiny, pictures of random things were used. Also, on almost every girl’s site I found something like, if you were underwear what would you be, or what Laguna Beach star are you. Most of the time, it didn’t describe them at all. Of all the pictures I looked through, they were mostly of stuff that that person was proud of. For example, most of the guys are or were athletes, and many pictures were of them competing. There were pictures of graduations, and prom, and of when they were little kids for a laugh. In almost every about me section, they told about what there school plans are, or of their favorite sports team. The guy’s threw in the height and weight. The audience of these particular sites is geared to only us friends. Thing’s we already know, and just look at to have a good laugh. All of these pages have music. They might not necessarily be their favorite songs, but a good one that they just found. Of my friends’ sites, there isn’t really a big deal about showing masculinity or femininity. While basic things are used such as color choice, nothing else really stands out. In this case there is mostly a competition of humor. Most of the time, I see it as people putting basic info about themselves, just to be able to communicate with their friends.
