The layout is probably the biggest reason for its success. FB was clean and simple and uncluttered.
The exclusivity was a big deal for me. It was a network for a specific group. Only .edu college students could join. So a network of like-minded/aged people like "me".
Also, in the beginning, it was incredibly useful for connecting with people in your classes. You could actually load your schedule into FB. Automatically linking you to the people in your class. It was the digital "creeper" that wasn't frowned upon. See a hot chick in a class, could check that class on FB as put a name/info to her face. Then try to hook up (poke, friend request). It was an infant version of Tinder.
