Facebook:

Facebook is one of most popular social networking website used by the people. This website includes all the features from audio, videos upload to messaging and videos chatting facilities. It's interface follows good and light color scheme followed by contrasting color scheme. The main color that has been used in this website is blue, which is totally attention grabbing. In this website, interface is designed in such a way that any body can used it very easily. This is reason it considered as user-friendly website. All the features and option are not difficult to find and all the option buttons are easily visible and attractive.Content of this website is clear, but font-family is not much of clear. Data is not properly organised in comparison other social networking website. Facebook has good browser consistency. so we can say that browser compatibility can be easily overlooked. It's navigation is very effective and pretty much interactive. Architecture of this website is well planned and layout is designed while keeping a target market in mind. It contain too much unnecessary advertisement

MySpace:  

MySpace is another social networking website, but not as popular as the other social medias such as Facebook, twitter etc. Interface of this website is attractive and appears clearly. Color coding of this website is very simple and it includes  the contrasting scheme, not lot of color are used keeping it simple. All the features and characteristics of this websites are easy to access and use. This Myspace more emphasis on the content uploading and music videos appearance, that is quite better than other social media websites. Myspace is known for it's navigation features specially the horizontal navigation how people's profiles unfold from left to right and scroll horizontally is really amazing and people finds it eye catching. Another important feature is visual search, the search box takes over the entire screen and makes your search more satisfactory. Myspace is designed around entertainment especially for music purpose.This is good for entertainers to show their talent making this website a expression centric interface. Content is clearly visible and properly organised including hidden data feature. At the end, layout is pretty much simple, it  didn't attract people in the beginning.

There are lot of change new version of My space that :

Google+:

Google+ is another social networking media website, that is really popular nowadays. It is not simply a social networking website, but also an authorship tool that associates web-content directly with its owner. Color coding of this interface is pretty much simple, not use of lot of colors except black and blue. It doesn't have good compatibility mode from other devices. So user might face problem in opening it from tablet or mobile. It's interface is very user-friendly and accessible to all kinds of users. All the features are easy to find and clearly visible . User might find difficulty in reading the content sometimes because of its bad font family. Content is not well organised as compare to other media website and users get confused sometimes. Design is not very interactive because it doesn't contain lot of colors. One of the important that it's know for is Google hangout and instant messaging.  Other than that Audio, videos uploads and chatting are normal features. The Interface architecture is well planned but content format is that easy to scan. It navigation features are really simple and some time users finds difficulty in moving from one page to another. Browser compatibility can not be overlooked. Overall Google+ is not as interactive as Facebook and other social media website.   

There has been lot of changes made in new Google+ interface:

Please compare and indicate that which one contains the best interface design. Write your reflection at least 250 words:

Facebook, Myspace and Google+  are all very popular social networking media websites. All these are websites interface are well designed keeping the target market in mind. All of them are interactive and user friendly. All the feature of these websites are easily accessible and easy to use. Color scheming of Facebook and Myspace is little bit better than the Google+. Content of all the websites are well organised, but user might find difficulty in the data from different device in Google+ and Myspace. Layout of MySpace is very interactive than Facebook and Google+. Compatibility of Facebook is better from all the devices. 

               

 In my opinion, Myspace interface is the best design for many reasons:

1. Interface content is very well organised and clearly visible.

2. All the features are easy to use and it involves very high audio and video uploading speed.

3. Website is interactive and eye catching to users.

4. It can be used by the all kinds of users.

5. Color coding of Myspace is light and very attractive to users.

6. It's interface doesn't have inconsistency between users, so users will find new feeds.

7. Navigation features of interface is really amazing. That how people's profiles unfold from left to right and scroll horizontally.The fact that most computer screens are horizontally oriented, it is one of those rare design ideas that makes a lot of sense.

8. Visual Search box  takes the entire full screen to satisfyingly display your search in large font .More importantly, searching for a brand not only provides relevant people and songs, but offers a complete social portrait of a brand in terms of entertainment.

9. Interface is filled with bad design decision making.

10. Interface doesn't popup unnecessary advertisements. 

11. Interactive brand promotion which mostly users likes it.

12. It is an expression centric-interface, there people can show their talent. It is mostly know for high quality speed uploads.

13. Interface doesn't change constantly , so user doesn't need to learn everything.
