As we all know, Facebook is on the way down. It’s bad enough that they now allow non-university students to use the sites but now with all these pointless applications (as well as now having the types of users that will use and spread them) which people constantly send you requests for and putting a million different boxes on a user’s profile so you have to scroll for 30 minutes to reach their wall, how much better is Facebook than MySpace?
Well, still quite a lot better. But the gap is closing. I was using MySpace today (viral marketing, it’s still the biggest social network in the world) and they have really been working on it. The layout is good, the functionality works. It’s a huge improvement on what it would have been like a year ago.

Have you seen the client side CPU usage on some of the MySpace pages due to excessive use of poorly written JavaScript and huge Flash files? Its just shocking.
I agree that facebook is going down hill, but at least there is still some sanity on the profiles with respect to standards and resource usage.
