We thought it would be a never ending struggle in the same vein as Mac vs. PC, but does a recent survey of company social networking policies finally put to rest the debate of MySpace versus Facebook? KSDK.com is reporting that in a survey of 152 St. Louis companies

47 percent of the companies allow their employees to access Facebook during work hours and 50 percent of the companies allow their employees to access MySpace.

There was no mention about the best, local social networking site (*cough* ToastedRav.com *cough*), but based on the results you can either assume that this means the suits think MySpace is better than Facebook, or the folks making the decisions haven't yet been asked to get to know 'bAbY_gRrRl_69' better.

The corner office's preference for the Wild West of the internet, also known as MySpace, might be surprising, but the fact that 70% of companies surveyed let people jump on LinkedIn during work hours makes a little more sense. After all, in the grand social networking scheme, LinkedIn is the business lunch to Facebook and MySpace's happy hour.
