I created a Facebook in 06 because a class required it. For the first 6 months or so it pretty much only had my profile picture and one or two status updates (much like my current G+ profile).
I was the only one of my friends who had a FB profile - everyone else was on Myspace. I visited Myspace daily at the time.
I remember when the shift happened. More and more of my friend posted Myspace bulletins with "Deleting my Myspace, add me on FB!" It seemed to happen all at once.
I've seen a few of these 'leaving' declarations on my FB, but there isn't the same rush. FB may be going through a Myspace fate at a much slower rate, or perhaps we are in a new day and age where users will have profiles on many different social networks. I tend to think it's the latter.
