A free service on the internet is the last place I would of expected "timing" to be so critical. I am more interested now than ever in figuring out why this was such a huge hit when so many others failed.

I think myspace is executed much better. The way the profiles are displayed and executed is much more appealing to a lot of people, plus it has bands and better promotions, and initially had better photo hosting, comments, etc. Friendster is starting to catch up on some of those but the interface is still not as good.

Facebook is a hit for different reasons, specific to meeting college kids at your own school, and is set up well for that.
