Some things you may not know about Myspace
I found these so-called facts by doing some searching on Myspace and found them interesting. Reality or fiction?
It was founded in August 2003 by eUniverse (which later changed its name to Intermix in mid-2004).
The first users were employees of E-Universe. In October 2006, Brad Greenspan (former Chairman, CEO, and single largest shareholder of Intermix Media, who claims to be the real “founder”) launched a website and posted “The MySpace Report” asking the Securities and Exchange Commission , the United States Department of Justice.
It is headquartered in Beverly Hills, California, USA, where it shares an office building with its immediate owner, Fox Interactive Media; in turn, the owner of Fox Interactive and therefore MySpace, News Corporation, is based in New York City.
MySpace profiles for musicians differ from regular profiles in that artists can upload up to six MP3 songs.
It has a Groups feature, which allows a group of users to share a common page and message board.
Its music section has helped many amateur bands to progress.
The culture is now defined by provocative personal profiles and a highly social “meat market” atmosphere of interaction.
According to Alexia Internet, the site is currently the sixth most popular English-language website in the world and the sixth most popular website in any language, and the third most popular website in the United States, although it has topped the list for several years. weeks.
Hardline anti-pedophile organization Perverted Justice has praised the site for its efforts to crack down on pedophiles who use its service.
YouTube first appeared on the web in early 2005 and quickly gained popularity on MySpace due to the ability for users to embed YouTube videos on their MySpace profiles. Realizing the competitive threat to the new video service, he banned YouTube videos embedded in his user profiles.
Software friend aggregators like http://www.myfriendbuilder.com are not welcome, but they are widely used by MySpacers as they give an advantage to those who use MySpace for their bands, nightclubs and businesses.
So now you know little more than fact or fiction about that phenomenon known as MySpace.
