For me, it was definitely the exclusivity and the timing. MySpace was big, and it was cool for communicating and reconnecting but it still felt like a "kids place" to some extent. Many of my buddies from college were signed up to this and recommended it to me. I signed up and started being more active on it. It wasn't so much that it was only exclusive to people attending college, but just that it was not overrun by spazzy kids and animated gifs (at the time).
