I admit that what kept me on Facebook for so long is its ability to host photos. I’m really happy how Photos and Photo upload work in Facebook.
The only thing I don’t like about it is that it auto-resizes photos to 604px width.
I don’t use MySpace, unfortunately.
The third most popular social networking site is Orkut, and I have some friends there.
I’ll just make a comparison on my most frequently used feature: Photo sharing.

Yes,

Facebook launched their new design. You can access with this URL: www.new.facebook.com
2 things I like best about this new design
1. Tabbed Profile
One profile is now broken into different tabs like that of iGoogle.
Wall, the major communication channel of Facebookers, is displayed right in the profile. Other applications are moved away so load time is saved.
Info and Photos deserve their own tabs. This makes it easier for users to track follow the information of their friends.
2. Full-width expansion
Comments
Relevance of Content and Time Saving are the 2 keys to success in the social media industry. Facebook is well on-track with their new design.
