12 years ago? Myspace was founded in Aug 2003, meaning it's only 9.5 years old now. It was acquired by News Corp just 8 years ago when they had only 25m registered users [0].. and was at its peak active users just 5 years ago (the numbers I already linked to).

Facebook was started only 6 months after Myspace.

So this isn't just about being in the right place at the right time. Myspace clearly made mistakes and/or executed poorly. They had the lead until mid-2008..
