I grow tired of people comparing MySpace's 'user' numbers to Facebook and other networks. There are so many spam/fake accounts on MySpace, yet they are reported in their member totals? (Have you guys even come across a spam Facebook account?)
Even if Facebook doesn't hit 200 million in the next year, they are surely taking away many legit users from MySpace and I think that's what matters most...not how many countless spam accounts they can add to their totals.
This article wasn't referring to traffic, rather accounts created. While it did cite inactive accounts, it didn't touch on spam accounts.
As far as legit users moving over to Facebook, I speak from personal experience with my friends and colleagues. That statement was more personal opinion and speculation, rather than fact. Sorry if that caused confusion.

Most people are counting the number of users (read: unique visitors) over a reasonable time period, not the number of registered accounts. http://siteanalytics.compete.com/myspace.com+facebook.com?me...
