Myspace preceded Facebook. MS was basically highschool based while FB
developed to cater to the college crowd. They both were pushed to make
money for their creators and succeeded brilliantly. Neither pioneered the
concept and there are dozens of wannabe imitators. The medium we are using
now, usenet (newsgroups), preceeded them both.
