I forget how the boards on Myspace worked, but they definitely were there as I remember chatting on them with other freshmen before moving in to college. One of the people even ended up being a close friend and eventual room mate, and this wasn't a small school.

Facebook started really taking off that fall of freshman year and I imagine most that socialization moved there by 07.
