There are two small but hugely significant UX differences between MySpace and early Facebook that help explain why so many people abandoned the former for the latter: 1. Facebook didn't have any ads for a long time while MySpace was stuffed full of fairly intrusive ads. 2. Facebook didn't allow users to customize the appearance of their profile. Profile customization sounds good in theory, but in practice people end up making some hideous profiles when given too much control over appearance.
