How does MySpace keep growing?

Because you need some marketing chart stuff every so often, kinda like the spinach your mom made you eat so you could have dessert. (In this case, dessert = Shatner vids.) So according to Marketing Charts, MySpace is not just leading the other social sites, but killing them. They even announced an additional 2.5 million users had signed up last month. How? I thought the demo of 40-year olds posing as teens and bands with no hope of making it big would’ve leveled off by now.

My theory? Two reasons:

1. Lots of fake accounts
2. No one can leave

(I've asked to have my account closed. It's just not something they do unless you start spamming people.)

BusinessWeek just said Facebook beat MySpace, thanks to int'l users. Love all the web stat fuzziness.

My bet: The clutter-SM wave is cresting in the U.S. and both will have to move offshore.
