You can select more than one option.

I use both, but not daily.
My myspace has gotten to a point were I add anyone who asks, I got about 500 friends.
Facebook, I got 3 people, but I never bother to go on, I don't really get the site.

I also got a buzznet, which is a barrel of laughs. It has a higher concentrate of emo and scene kids than myspace.

I don't use any of them. I never really liked those social networking sites. People I know obsess about how their MySpace looks, but I don't care, I have my own domain and website, which I always thought was better than having a Facebook or MySpace

Neither. *gags* I've always found those types of sites to be majoritarily populated by uncivilized, unintelligent, unenlightened, and unworthy people...the type of people who make up the majority of most large public schools (redundancy alert).

Once again, this is what I see, so don't go jumping on me if you disagree. I know people tend to do that unless I give this disclaimer after stating a strong opinion.

...Is majoritarily a word? Well, it is now, cause I said it. *shrugs*

I now have a Myspace, but I only use it to talk to a couple of my offline friends that I would not be able to talk to otherwise (since I moved, and they don't check email, use instant messaging systems or phones, even), a couple of online friends (I think the only one being Noo and someone that doesn't visit these forums. xD), family, a couple of my mother's friends, and a few bands. I don't add anyone unless I know them (or it's a band I want to add), and I don't know if I have it blocked to non-friends, but I should. I have like... 14 friends?

Though I must admit, the first Myspace I made was a joke Myspace, and it was pretty funny how many people flocked to be my friend just because I put "female" in my gender section (and failing to read the other outrageous information), blergh. I don't really like Myspace's community, either, so I don't associate with them, and the bots are ANNOYING AS HECK. I'd like to keep people with the option of adding me, but I hate coming to 10+ bots that decided to add me. >_> I guess you can only get so private without blocking everyone.

I'm in the neither gang. I'd just rather not have people adding me because I'm 'a friend of a friend of my brother in law's grandmother's godsister's niece', which has happened several times to my friends. :/ I think because of that I don't have a very good impression of those sites. I mostly stick to my friends on LJ, and well, this forum :)

Yeah, Myspace is so full of bots that I had to put up a filter so only people who know my last name can send friends requests. I miss denying them, but ah well.

I don't use either. Can't use Facebook as I don't meet the requirements, and MySpace bores me to tears. I don't see the point.

I know, I logged on one day and was happy to see 10 new friend requests (which is the highest I've had), only to see the pictures all containing women in swimsuits, the most obvious bots in existence. Bah, was hoping one of them was someone I knew. D:

Facebook.

MySpace sucks, and I've always hated it (Even though Facebook is becoming the new MySpace).

Just a word of caution, do not post your Facebook username here; I know most of you already know this but for that one person who thinks it's okay, I don't advise it. You never know who is lurking the forums. Just be careful :)

I use Facebook, because almost everyone I know is on it. :P

It's quite addictive too. Good to keep in touch with people in the Summer.

I used to use Myspace a lot more, now I'm always on Facebook. Facebook mainly because a lot of friends from work, old friends from school and even older friends from my childhood are on there. It's nice finding people you haven't seen or spoken to in a long time. :)

The only real reason I use both of them is because I've moved many times and it's a quicker, easier way of keeping in touch with a lot of people than by having to write a billion e-mails. This way, I can just blog, people in my network can read what's happening in my life and comment and message me via myspace or facebook.

It just makes sense to me.

MySpace.
And no, it's not because I'm some annoying scene kid.
I just don't like Facebook.

I used to have both but MySpace lacks a lot of the privacy features of Facebook. I ended up leaving MySpace to give my mom a little peace of mind. But I still use Facebook. Especially to keep tabs on my old high school friends. One of use has been using it a lot to plan our first HS reunion. :)
