Ask HN: When did Facebook truly beat Myspace?
In your opinion, when was clear that Facebook was the winner? I'm sure most everyone here would agree that facebook was better than myspace all the way back to 2004, but myspace was "winning" then.

- joelrunyon 16y agoAs soon as MySpace let users autoplay music in the background and have flashing background images. Sort of the internet version of the broken window theory, if you will - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Broken_windows_theory http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Broken_windows_theory
