Great article but it misses an essential difference between MySpace and Facebook. Facebook was built for Mark Zuckerberg and MySpace was built for News Corporation. Zuckerberg understood the interests and tastes of his generation. MySpace only understood the interests of their advertisers.
- tdumitrescu 12y agoIs that true? I recall myspace creator "tom" being its very public face in the early days, and it only got sold to newscorp after it was already big.

- cbsmith 12y ago> Facebook was built for Mark Zuckerberg and MySpace was built for News Corporation. Wow. That is a huge difference. Kind of like the difference between fact and fiction? MySpace was built by a bunch of knuckle heads. It was _destroyed_ by News Corporation.
