I also think it allows people to find out stuff about their friends that they might not know. One of my best friends put rock climbing down as one of his hobbies, and I never knew he was into the sport. Now we have gone climbing a few times.
The same thing holds true for talking to girls. If you have a list of information to go on (weather they are in a relationship, who their friends are, what things they like to do), it becomes easy to ask them if they are going to a concert of a band they like.
It also allows you to show off a little and give out some information about yourself. And it allows you to keep in contact with your friends very easily.
I know I wish this was around when I was in High School, I had to gather information the old fashioned way, by hiding in bushes with binoculars.

The downside is, employers (or co-workers) will probably be searching those pages soon, so if you have some R rated pictures and text on your page, it might be a good idea to delete them before sending out your resumes.

I'll end with a quote from The Daily Show:
"the down-side of MySpace is that it's loaded with sexual predators... and on the plus-side, it's also loaded with sexual prey."
