that was stupid, but if they want to stay independent, they will. 2 billion won't happen.

They're dumb.  

In a few months, Myspace will finish kicking their ::Dolphin Noise:: and nobody will wanna buy them.

At my college, every activity is programmed through facebook.

Instead of getting daily emails about campus news, you check facebook.

Yea....ummm....I have both, and facebook pwns imo.

facebook has more capabilities and is not overused as much as myspace or for the same purposes, so that could be a reason for the divide.

but seriously, facebook is crazy to pass this up. Or are they? Would the company be making changes to facebook that they didn't plan?

FaceBook obviously doesn't want to become the next MySpace, you know, covered with bugs and errors.

Yeah...as far as functionality goes....Facebook is 10000000 times better.  MySpace is so buggy and slow, but it has more people.  If I need to contact someone at my college, I use Facebook.  If it's for people I knew in high school who are still there, then it's MySpace.

facebook is more organized and clean. It is also relatively safer.
