Is the biggest takeaway from why Myspace cratered really that they migrated their technology to a .NET stack? That seems ridiculous to me. The being in L.A. thing might be less ridiculous, but I also find it hard to believe that there aren't boatloads of developers in L.A. who couldn't add value to a social networking site. The reasons that come to mind for why Facebook initially started to attract users away from Myspace are that its profile pages didn't look like the Trapper-Keeper of a 14 year old, and the fact that it had exclusivity from being associated with Universities. edit(I forgot this one as well): Also the shift from having to seek out your friend's pages to having their updates show up on your main page seemed like a big differentiator. You can chalk the enhancements made to Facebook after that point to their underlying technology, but I really don't think ASP.NET was responsible for why Myspace sucked.
