3. MySpace is a popular social networking website offering an
interactive, user-submitted network of friends, personal
profiles, blogs, groups, photos, music and videos for
teenagers and adults internationally. Since June 2006,
MySpace has been the most popular social networking site in
the United States.
MySpace is part of Business Exchange, suggested by Brian
Anderson. This topic contains 888 news and 371 blog items.

4. In June 2009, Myspace employed
approximately 1,600 workers. Since
then the company has undergone
several rounds of layoffs and by June
2011, Myspace had reduced its staff to
around 200.
On June 29, 2011, Myspace was sold
to Specific Media and Justin
Timberlake for approximately $35
million.
5. Anderson was a product tester and
copywriter at XDrive, a digital storage
company in 2000, where he met Chris
DeWolfe. He initially joined XDrive as a
product tester after answering a flyer
advert while still at film school and
looking to earn extra money. When
XDrive went bankrupt in 2001, he and
DeWolfe founded direct
marketing company ResponseBase. The
y sold ResponseBase to Brad
Greenspan's eUniverse in late 2002.
6. With other eUniverse employees, Anderson set up the
first pages of Myspace in August 2003. He founded the
site partly as a reaction to Friendster and that social
network's policy of blocking accounts not using real
names. An early success was persuading Tila Tequila to
switch from Friendster to Myspace in September 2003.
Anderson was in charge of product
development. Myspace became one of the most
popular social networking websites in the United States
(listing in slot no. 129 of Alexa Top 500 Global Sites as
of November 2011). Fortune reported in 2006 that
"Anderson is automatically the first friend of anyone
who joins MySpace, and as the public face of the
operation, he's photographed with celebrities at
company bashes, approached for autographs on the
street, and deluged with e-mails from
users." Journalist Julia Angwin, author of Stealing
MySpace, wrote that "I think Tom is sort of the soul of
the site". In September 2008, he had 237,991,950
"friends".
7. Anderson became president of Intermix Media, the
successor of eUniverse, when it was sold to News
Corp. Anderson said of working for News Corp that
"Before, I could do whatever I wanted. Now it takes
more time to get people to agree on things. All the
budget reviews and processes. That can be a pain. But
it's not stopping us." His workaholic nature at Myspace
was noted by several journalists.
He made tens of millions of dollars from the
company. Reuters quoted an unnamed News Corp
executive as saying that "Tom was responsible for the
product but ended up being a complete bottleneck on
getting things done", but Business Week reported that
"Under Anderson's leadership, the products division
introduced a dizzying number of features". He was
replaced as president in April 2009 by News Corp;
8. Anderson now says he is "enjoying being
retired" and is active on other social
networks, including
Facebook, Twitter (with nearly 200,000
followers in mid 2011),
and Google+ (ranking 10th by number of
followers in December 2011). He has
also since invested in real estate.
Anderson had a cameo appearance in
the 2009 American drama-comedy
film Funny People starring Adam
Sandler.

21. There have been many stories of problems
with Myspace. Fake Myspaces. Men
pretending to be young boys and meeting
young girl`s places. Friend drama. Gossip
starting. Etc...
There are also plenty of good things about
Myspace. example:
It is a wonderful place to chat with
friends. People can figure out what their
weekend plans are with friends, ask for
homework help, and even discover fun new
songs. Myspace originally was a dating
service and is still used for that purpose.
It is also possible to make friends with
people from all over the world on
Myspace. You can chat and compare how
22. As long as people are responsible and
smart about what they say and post
on Myspace, then it is truly a harmless
site. Myspace even offers an option to
make your site private so only friends
that you accept can view your pictures
and comments.
If you are interested in joining in on
the fun, go to www.myspace.com and
just remember to be smart and stay
safe!
