There is a difference in the way that people are being connected with brands there - more through invitations to add applications. MySpace is badly designed compared to Facebook. It's public. Many of the 'friends' are bands and brands. There may of course be a socio-economic factor happening as well. Those with a university education are more likely to connect through Facebook.
