Yes, she most certainly have atleast some part in the girl's death. People believe that just because it's the Internet, they can behave any way they want, failing to realize that people will still in many cases take whatever is being said the same way as if it had been said in person.

Were it not for this womans willful act of Malice, the Teenager would still be alive. It was a premeditated, calculated act to wilfully cause severe emotional distress....and when its administered toward a member of society that is in an emotion-developing stage of life who has not completely matured enough to handle such persecution , it often has great consequences . This story is yet another one where someone escaped justice ; and that is a travesty. A fair punishment for this Woman who should have known better but suppressed that , would be at least a year in jail followed by some sort of community program that helps Teenagers specifically .
I suspect she's already been "punished' quite a bit, and will continue to be, until this case finally fades into obscurity.
Should she have ben prosecuted under the law?
No. She didn't do anything illegal.
Just because an action or behavior is mean and crappy doesn't mean it violates any law.
Lori Drew has been exposed for what she is.
Decent people will have nothing more to do with her... unless we push the general public into a backlash reaction by repeatedly bringing ludicrous charges against her, etc.

I have to respectfully disagree with your analysis ; it is a very good thing when a Perpetrator realizes the drastic mistake one has myade especially when it is greatly detrimental to another . However, having self-regret isnt an adequate form of justice for a devastating immoral crime which directly took the life of a less mature member of the human race who had barely reached puberty (albiet a self inflicted death). Sometimes, we can bring devastating results to another without having broken any civil laws ; Im of the persuasion where there needs to be MORAL laws legislated (with consequential enforcement) in conjunction with Civil Laws, so America becomes a nation who cares more.
Of course not. How ridiculous a leap of logic this is.
Let's say there is a thread on here about suicide, and a poster offers the opinion that for some people, suicide is a realistic way out. And then somebody commits suicide and leaves a note that so-and-so in a forum said it was OK. Are you telling me that poster is responsible for that death? And ought to be arrested and tried for homicide?
What has happened to our society, when every time there is a little ripple, the entire nation rushes through the village with torches and axes looking for people to punish?
First poop on this case for California having jurisdiction. Just because MySpace is headquartered there doesn't make that home base for the Internet. If the perp and the victim were from Missouri, I would have liked to have seen the case tried there.
Second, poop on the activist judge for overturning the jury. Those people wasted God knows how many hours of their time to have some idiot say they don't know what they're doing.
Third, since the family of the victim didn't get justice then I wouldn't weep if they took care of it themselves.
