If you are you’re most likely to choose MySpace over Facebook.

Read/WriteWeb posted about research faberNovel Consulting research paper that showed Facebook as being “reality identity” while MySpace as being “fantasized identity”.

Another difference between the two social networking sites is that Facebook allows users to have a “Dialog space” wherein users can interact with other users thru applications. MySpace has been labeled as “Monolog space” where the applications are limited to personal space. However, with MySpace joining in the OpenSocial things might just change.

The research also looked into other social networking sites such as Flickr, LinkedIn, and Xing.
