How did Facebook become so popular over Myspace?

[ph3n0m3n0n]

Myspace turned into a huge mess. They began adding features that should've never seen the light of day.

Facebook was pretty simple. Now logging in summons a giant eyeball to your very location that inclines you to post your exact location, what you're doing, and the next 3 times you'll be alone.

Haha I remember clicking on someones page and my mac would just !@#% on me for a minute while their profile song plays in the background no problem

Interface and long time (early) exclusivity. They expanded slowly. Much more calculated.

and facebook is more intuitive in terms of layout..its literally kinda like niketalk.

Came in her to say the exact same thing. U try to find somebody on myspace, u better know how they spell their "name" and hope they didn't change it before u found em

Plus, I hated waitin for the damn page to load up and it seems like the music started playin before the page loaded up, then ur computer froze before the page loaded up so u couldn't pause the music.

I liked fb more when it was just for college students and didn't have all them games and nonsense that I keep gettin requests to play/add to my page

exclusivity. needed a REAL college email to make a profile. so only smart people were on it.  I dont think JC emails worked when making a profile.

Everything has its time. When Facebook fades in a couple years, the same thing will be said.

¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Wait for white people to stop using it (white flight). Then move on. Seriously, though it's already happening. The white people from college and HS I know are no longer actively on like they used to be. Some blacks as well. It was when FB opened it's doors to non-college kids they started to get real stupid and ridiculous. Now the original users of FB, the college kids from 2003-2006, have moved on to actual face-to-face interaction or simply don't care to use social networking like that. I used FB a lot when it first came out and I like those others have simply out-grown it and/or dont want to associated with the current FB.

I've wondered this as well. For the record I don't like either of them.....maybe because I couldn't get vagina from either of them and I don't care to see what my ex'es are up to.
