Do you have a link to the experiment?
Also, when you said there were better-designed contenders, did you have anything in particular in mind?
Don't forget, myspace was in the first batch (if not the very first) of sites for bands to upload their music and have it streamed over the internet. It had the streaming audio, and the strong community features. The initial communities grew up around the bands. It wasn't completely random that Myspace was successful, they were providing a real and useful service.

No, I didn't have any Myspace competitors in mind; I just assumed that something so badly designed must have at least one better-designed competitor. Maybe a bad assumption, in retrospect.
