I'm glad that Matt Hicks responded directly but it does seem fishy that the code was outdated...why not say, hey - originally, we didn't think it cool to allow polls comparing our product to MySpace et al. The thing is, it's better that they do allow such polls since it can help them gain further insight on what people think of their product, etc. An interesting debate over this Facebook debacle.

If I feel like listening to music, I'm already listening to my own. Otherwise, I don't want to hear it. I also don't mind the lack of customization options, quite simply, because most Myspace pages I've seen have been customized to look like completely illegible crap. The Facebook team has put together an easy to read, and aesthetically pleasing (admittedly a subjective matter) layout. If its users are anything like Myspace users, we'd end up with black text on black backgrounds, awful music, and nothing but "OMG PONIES!!" everywhere. I prefer Facebook because it focuses on the social networking aspect, it doesn't try to make itself the web equivalent of finger painting.
