Hyves vs Facebook

For the first assigment I visited my Hyves account, which I have had for some years now but hardly ever use. The main reason I guess is that it is in Dutch and also I have always found it difficult to navigate. To my surpise I noticed that the layout has changed quite dramatically and it now looks and seems to function more like it's big rival Facebook. My facebook account on the other hand has proved a great way for me to keep in touch with my family in various countries and to find old highschool classmates from Perth. I must say I really enjoy brouwsing though pictures of friends who I haven't seem in person for 15 to 20 years. We are all getting older and fatter. A lot are married and have children too and some have moved abroad like myself. Before leaving on a work trip to ther US a few years ago I managed to get in contact using Facebook, with my very first boyfriend (from when I was 13) who moved to Los Angeles when he was 18. We met up for a few hours and he drove me up and down the coast a bit. It was great fun.
