What made Facebook so popular these days? Why is Myspace "dead"?

[!Shanksta-Gangsta!]

So we have all these cool websites, there YouTube, then twitter showed and then all of sudden people just shifted to Facebook. Why? What happen to make Facebook so popular? I feel like its a trend, when Myspace was all the rage people couldn't stop talking about it (during that time i wasn't into Myspace). But do you think the popularity of Facebook will die down the same way it did with Myspace? Do you think they'll just end up coming back to Myspace or some other social community site?
I dont get it, you can talk and find your friends and family the same way on Myspace. I like the fact you can find them by age, ethnicity, ect cause sometimes i couldn't remember that person's whole name. I've never had a problem with spyware or hacking on the site.

1.Facebook has a cleaner lay out. Think of Facebook as a Mac. A Mac is functional, white, basic, and easy to use. While the PC tends to come with a bit more clutter and problems such as viruses and constant updates. Facebook is better to use for the older crowds such as our aunts, uncles, and parents. It has allowed constant contact between relatives or friends who normally wouldn't hear much of eachother. Myspaces's layout is another story for obvious reasons. The idea of customizing your own profile page on their network seemed like a lot of fun at first and people were really into it in the beginning. However, after hidden codes in html, incessant spyware, and hackers became a problem, personalized profiles quickly lost their luster. Glittery, overdone pages, and a zillion applications caused problems for page to load.

2. Better Privacy.

Facebook makes it harder for unknowns to find you. In order to be found on Facebook the person searching must know either your network, full name, or email. On Myspace people are free to browse by age, gender, ethnicity, body type, and sexual orientation. Friend requests from unfamiliars are far more common on Myspace. A lot of sketchy folks will seek your friendship as well as businesses. Filtering through friend requests from the likes of club promoters, aspiring artists, and people who are solely out to up their friend count can be quite the nuisance.

The migration of myspace users to facebook had a big hit in 2006-2008

Like Somebody Already Said, Facebook Is Safer, And The Pages Can Load A Little Faster.. Also, There Are A Bunch Of Apps On Facebook, That Aren't On Myspace, That Are Really Fun.. I Used To Go On Myspace, But Then I Made A Facebook, And I'm Obsessed With It. I Have More Friends On Facebook, Than Myspace, And On Facebook, I Can Talk To Relatives, Because They Don't Have A Myspace. =P
