MySpace founder concedes social network defeat

Well Facebook's user base if totally different. It was originally formed on college campuses in a grassroots fashion. Facebook's demos is just different. MySpace is for kids and bad rock bands.

Myspace was started to help guys get laid. Facebook was started to connect with your high school sweetheart and get laid again.

Bottom line - find new ways to get guys laid and it will be successful.
