Facebook didn't crash all the time when people tried to use it, which was a major competitive advantage over Friendster, at the time.

Friendster was too consumed with being led by a womanizing partier IIRC, which set the tone there... (this is anecdotal hear-say-info, so I could be wrong)... but as I recall it, they were too concerned with partying at the time to pay attention to what they were on the precipice of.
