As a recently indoctrinated Facebook afficianado (and long-time Myspace hater) it really is very interesting to hear Dana's reasoning behind the oh-so-apparent split between the two social networks in the US. If we see a similar split here in Australia, I wonder if we'll see a similar pattern, even though we won't have the same course of events influencing us? Personally, I avoided Myspace and embraced Facebook for two reasons: 1. You can't skin it (leave design to the designers please!), and 2. extremely granular privacy options (in the past Myspace has been heavily criticised for it's lack of privacy options).
