I disagree. Both Facebook and MySpace tried to solve the problem of connecting people digitally, but that's where their likeness ends. They tried to solve that problem in fundamentally different ways.

Both were(are) homepages that list your likes/dislikes/memberships and have a stream of comments. It was friendster et al that tried to do the real hard CS graph theory stuff. Facebook /still/ doesn't do those things - though they talk about "the graph" constantly.

Just try searching for everyone within X miles in your network.
