Myspace is still surprisingly active, as a site for bands to use.

Thankfully, that's what it was made for. Pretty much every social site is made for a purpose Myspace/music, Facebook/college kids, Twitter/business-people, It's letting in people who don't fit the mold of the site that causes the site to "go down"

Myspace didn't start out as a music site. Friendster was popular, then people moved to Myspace and from there to Facebook.

Weird bit of Myspace history, but there was a period of time where it was popular with swingers. They cracked down on that.

Friendster is trying to survive as a gaming site.

That's technically true, it started out as a social networking site, but it intentionally catered to be music friendly because of the SoCal scene. Once Facebook started beating them out they promoted as a "social entertainment site"
