And thats not even counting MySpace, which Rupert Murdoch famously paid $580 million for in 2005. We have all the people who came out of eHarmony; who came from MySpace and Overture and PriceGrabber and Lastminute.com and Shopzilla and CitySearch and all these places.

Back in October 2007 while preparing for a holiday party, a sneaky Google Street View car just happened to pass by. Higher resolution photos found on the bands MySpace page and the below video go on to mega confirm whatever this strange scene is.

Children use sites like MySpace and YouTube as fun outlets of expression and entertainment. By this reasoning, MySpace enables (or perhaps tacitly encourages) many young people to sign up, even if they are underage, in order to gain as large an audience as possible. Last night I spoke as part of a panel discussion on the effects of the Internet on our children. I

Before you run off and start using Drupal be aware that although it is definitely suitable for many small to medium web sites, configuring and using it is significantly more difficult than WordPress and it does not yet scale to the level of MySpace or Facebook.

You're in facebook, not in myspace, but you're in with a lot of these people. Andrew: But let me ask you a question about that with facebook, if all you’re trying to do or if all he was trying to do in the early days was go for growth, and you see that MySpace, the top competitor in the space is getting all kinds of growth by allowing people to dress up their sites, by allowing people to put images and colors and everything else, why not chase that?
