Facebook is winning because it has hit the jackpot in finding how to convince regular consumers to throw away their privacy in trade for connecting with friends. I never had a single person find me via myspace whereas dozens of people who I had lost contact with by all other means found me on facebook. This only happens because facebook forces me to use my real name as well as seductively inviting me to reveal all kinds of other information and allows people to search on it and find me and even see a picture. As much as I object to this, it's what has entrenched facebook in my life.
