Yeah, without some concrete examples it's hard to know exactly what is going on here.

That said, Facebook is certainly not coming out of this smelling like roses. The "Top Stories" mode is horrible, and Facebook tries really really hard to force you into it, especially on mobile. IMHO it is going to be the death of them in the long term. When they're yet another Friendster/MySpace/etc... this is what I'm going to point to.

In terms of now defunct social networks...

Ok, Myspace isn't technically dead, but its heyday is definitely over.

but youre comparing two completely different products that get lumped into the same "social network" category, when really the have very little in common anymore.

myspace had profiles, that was it.
