Thank God someone finally figured it out.
The "Why Youth Heart MySpace" article basically nailed it. This is exactly what I see the appeal of MySpace to be for teens and young adults. There's also, I think, a visible drop in usage of the site as physical private and public spaces actually become available.
I'm just happy to finally see someone talking about MySpace in a way that's not alarmist whistle blowing about some semi-nebulous non-threat like the other article. Actually, it debased some of those ideas pretty well, which also made me happy.
Don't get me wrong, I still hate MySpace, I just hate it for reasons that make sense. This article has alot of great reasons for why the concept of MySpace is great. It's just a shame that the actual product is a turd and isn't particularly good at providing these concepts in a usable form.
