My Space

What is MySpace?

MySpace was founded in 2003 by Chris DeWolfe and Tom Anderson. It started as a social networking site like Friendster.

That same year, the industry leader, Friendster, had a major setback technology. Tons of Friendster users tired and ended up moving to MySpace through word of mouth. It was the most important social network between 2007 and 2008.

How does it work?

When you become a member of My Space you create your own profile, then invite your friends to become members and looking at MySpace friends of yours who are already members.

Influence of MySpace in Spain:

My Space has no great impact in Spain, although the company has its main office in Madrid. The impact on the world of communication has never been the best and kept the world in 2008.
