Facebook vs. MySpace

In my library, I look at the computer screens to see what the students are using. The first two weeks of the semester, there seemed to be about 3 MySpace users for ever Facebook user. Then, I think just before the brohaha about the privacy/stalking change at Facebook, I was suddenly seeing 3 Facebooks for every MySpace.

Order, if that is what it is, seems to be restored: there are now more MySpace users again.

Was it the new features that got people to LOOK at their Facebook again? It seemed to me that the shift happened before the news broke in the media, but the student underground runs faster than the media.

All informal, all unscientific.
