I graduated HS in '02, and everyone that went to college (.edu email address) was eventually on Facebook, everyone else was on MySpace. That (huge) demographic difference coupled with the poor and unpredictable interface for MySpace signaled their fate a long time ago in my opinion. This paper from a couple of years ago tackles the issue of class division between the two: http://bit.ly/classdivisions

I agree; facebook at first had to have similar differences being a 'college' only community - but since it has opened up I bet it has came back to a similar balance to any other site.
