No, sorry... Facebook exploded because people were abandoning Myspace They were tired of ******ed profile pages and autoplaying music players. iPhone might account for a few hundred thousand, if that. We're talking about a flood of millions upon millions here... far more than the iPhone's sold in its lifetime. Saying the iphone is the reason for it is completely delusional.

Fact: Everyone's abandoning Myspace like the plague. Yes, it's a better delivery platform for bands but only because Facebook simply doesn't do it yet. In about six months, I fully expect Myspace to try to transform itself over into a music-oriented site at some point... but killing off Myspace would be the best thing for these bands anyways as the Myspace player rarely even works properly.

Of my peak of 200 friends on Myspace, all but 13 have deleted their accounts. I think that pretty much says it all about Myspace. Dead.
