First I thought the article (or maybe promotion) didn't gave an answer to the topic question, but it actually did; the need to sanitizing inputs destroyed what myspace enabled. The need for security is bigger than the need for customisation nowadays, you can't have a social network that has a big security flaw because users could edit the code on their pages. The product this article promotes isn't a solution, you still need developers to create the components users want, and users are not going to send requests to add something they think would be "fun" or "weird".
