St. Petersburg, Florida - Most people in the Bay area will tell you they prefer one of two places. Tampa or St. Petersburg.

But there's another debate that has folks divided.

Facebook or MySpace?

While MySpace currently has more members, Facebook is expected to be the most popular social networking site in the U.S. by 2010.

Facebook is already more popular worldwide. In fact, nearly 70 percent of its users live outside the U.S.

With 250 million users, MySpace has been a powerhouse since it began in 2003.

Facebook started up in 2004. It began as a service for students at Harvard University. Eventually, the site opened up to all college students. Now, it's open to anyone over the age of 13.

10 Connects has several Facebook pages.

10 Connects, 10 Connects News This Morning and 10 Connects News at 4pm have Facebook group pages.

Metromix, 10 Connects' entertainment website, is a Facebook group and has a Facebook fan page.

10 Connects' affiliate, MomsLikeMe.com, is also a Facebook group.

There is even a Facebook page for Capt. C.B. Sully Sullenberg, the U.S. Airways pilot who steered a jet safely into the Hudson River in New York City Thursday. The page has 109,074 fans and 6,925 wall posts.

10 Connects wants to know whether you prefer Facebook or MySpace. To share your thoughts, leave your comment at the bottom of this story. And while you're there, you can also sound off on whether you prefer St. Petersburg or Tampa.
