There's a lot of debate about why but I think its probably because many people in US got into Myspace early. It would be great to see more case studies on how social networks have evolved. I'd be particularly interested in seeing how Orkut evolved in Brazil and how its performing today. I suspect that once a social network reaches critical mass ( most of your friends are on it ) its very hard for competitive social networks to dislodge users...
