आरोह अवरोह.....

We are much more addicted to facebook rather than hi5. as we know hi5 and facebook both are of same kind but still there is a lot of different in popularity among them. Facebook probably is the biggest and most popular social networking site. Why is there no hype for hi5? Well, there are several reasons. Some may even prefer hi5 for facebook but then it all depends on whom you ask the question. In some countries HI5 is more popular. Like in Portugal everyone uses Hi5. It has like 90% market share. Anyways if we talk in the whole world, Facebook sure beats the hell out of Hi5. Few of the advantages of facebook over hi5 are as follows:

- The first and foremost is facebook is an application platform. Developers built social applications on Facebook Platform that millions of people use everyday. The games, quiz, everything you use or participate in are likely an application. Although Hi5 lacks this feature.

- The ads on Hi5 go beyond intrusive. Every other time you refresh a page an ad blocks half the screen, forcing you to close it to see what you want to see. This is not the case with Facebook. There are almost no ads you can seen in your Facebook.

- Hi5 is too flashy and also seems to be 'over customizable'. Usually, on a blog or network or whatever, you have set professional looking themes, or it's customizable only by people who know what they're up to, be it CSS or whatever. Hi5 has the unenviable ability to turn a profile into the most hideously monstrous looking page in less than a minute. They're often unreadable. Facebook on the other hand is not customizable. There are ways you can customize it but it can only be done my experts.

- Also most of the features of Hi5 were copied from other social networking sites. Many say they don’t have anything original. Even the chat service that has recently been started in Hi5 is copied from Facebook.

- Facebook has chat system which is much easier to be in touch with aboard friends. But Hi5 lack this system.

These are just few reasons why people who like facebook comment about not being present in hi5.

So which do u prefer Facebook or Hi5???
