That seems to be a good idea, but what about individuality? If you ask me, that is one of the big reasons Myspace grew to such enormous numbers (I'm sure others would agree.) Individualism is an important aspect of life, if you have ever read something like Fahrenheit 451, you would see a prime example. If everybody's page is parsed and looks the same, well, what fun is that?
Contrary to what I mentioned above about individuality, I enjoy Facebook because it is bare and elaborate at the same time. They managed to grasp a calm template with minimum graphics. They also have put together excellent standards for how they do everything (in there API, and there CSS code.) They use fairly advanced features, and manage to keep them simplistic enough for anyone to use. If Myspace (and/or Facebook) could grasp something in the middle, not too flashy, not too bare, and yet still personalized, we would see a finite winner.
