I usually like what scoble writes, but this is such nonsense. Myspace would like to believe that they were let down by Microsoft or LA, but the fact remains that they were playing with marbles compared to Zuckerberg's chess. They could have matched Facebook feature to feature and that too the very next moment. I can guarantee that it would not have changed a thing. Google came out with numerous social plays with better strategy, scale and speed without much success. Finally if Myspace could not change fast enough it cannot be attributed to the platform. In hindi we have a saying, "naach na jaane aangan tedha"(calling the floor crooked, when you don't know how to dance). Silicon Valley might be awesome for its talent, but I would bet that there are enough awesome developers in any metropolis to make any web company successful. You need to be a place which needs to be able to attract such people. Being in SV would not have changed a thing, as no good person would have wanted to join Myspace.
