I'm not a passionate MySpace user -- I don't even have an account, and I would agree that it's poorly designed, and the UI's not so great. But it is what it is -- just because I'm not a passionate MySpace user, although you of course made that great assumption, does not mean it does not provide value for those who use it. Again, your assuming people use MySpace and Facebook for exactly the same purposes, which in fact, many do not. You can go on and on about how Facebook is for the great sophisticated people in their early twenties, and again, it shows you don't understand how and who uses the internet. Show me the app you've designed that has amazing UI and also has 100 million users. Keep ranting and raving about why Facebook > MySpace and you're still failing to miss the point: while they are both "social networks" their uses, which at times competing, are generally completely different. Clearly you group yourself in this "sophisticated" category, and for someone as myself that has claimed for a couple years Facebook is a lot better than MySpace, I can see why that would comfort you to think of it that way. Millions of MySpace users are often times just different than the millions of Facebook users. Accept it.
