Myspace said it is positioning itself to be a gaming portal or hub based around gamers.
I actually think that's a smart move. Not really the gaming part, but trying to niche the site a little more. I think the "general" social networking sites will never make money being free. The audience is too varied and the advertisers will never pay enough. If they go niche, the value to the advertising suddenly goes waaay up.
It's a gamble but it's better than the wait-and-see attitude of Facebook that believes it will magically start making huge money one day before another hot site just comes along.
