So does the true significance of this arrive when, if as WTF, socnet turns out to have been a bit of a fad & then there is only significant room for one ? But of course by then, maybe it'll be something else again. To stay rooted with FB & MS is like saying that Elvis had to dominate the charts for ever.

Pageviews? NO, Revenue? Seriously doubt it! Facebook has less bugs and porn spammers than MySpace but that's about it. And everyone online already knows the differences between the two SocNets by now, it really depends on what you want in an online experience. I prefer the cleaner, smoother operation of Facebook personally but I am not enthralled by either one as a business. Both of these companies better sure as hell hope that these Socnets aren't just a fad, cause based off of the behavior of their users, that's exactly what is going on. What is MySpace losing?

MySpace has been hugely more successful in the area of marketing and content. They've been able to draw in more people and offer an increasingly robust core product. The sites seem to target a different type of experience. However, for someone to say that MySpace is "losing" is ridiculous.

Just as a small case-in-point, this is the error message that shows up when you've screwed up your login at MySpace: "You Must Be Logged-In to do That!" It looks like it was punctuated by a drunk kindergartner. Their marcomm department should be tazed. I mean, that's just embarrassing. And do you know how long that error message has been like that? Long time. All things being equal, I would be on MySpace doing the wrong thing. This is Facebook's to lose right now. Facebook should avoid getting smug, but MySpace needs help.

And DeWolfe is wrong, myspace's current technology doesn't give its users even nearly the same benefits as facbook. Game over. Facebook wins. Facebook will “probably” crush myspace.

Game over.

Facebook wins.
