Your Opinion: What made MYSPACE successful?

Social Networking? Friendster and others pioneered this. Why did Myspace overtake them?

Customized user homepages? User-created free homepages have been around for a while (e.g, Geocities, homestead, tripod, etc etc)

Blog Network? Livejournal and blogger have been around longer and have extensive linking capabilities.

Or is it the combination of all the above and other user tools in one easy to use package?

Or.... the quality of the 'population' they recruited who then referred their site to friends and made it 'cool'?

What, IN YOUR OPINION, turned myspace from a startup to a $500+Million NewsCorp acquisition?
