I guess you didn't have a lot of friends that would make their text white, on a yellow background, with autoplaying music. Then sprinkle in some blinking and/or moving text to make it even harder to read.

I think there could have been a nice middle ground with more "tasteful" customization that would have still left plenty of room for individuality, but nobody built it before Facebook totally took over.

Yeah, too many MySpace pages would drag your browser to a crawl or outright crash it. Facebook's uncluttered interface was a breath of fresh air at the time.
