Myspace

Overview

Founded in 2003 by Chris DeWolfe and Tom Anderson, this social networking company quickly rose to global eminence. Designed as a platform for connecting with friends and sharing content creatively, it became the world’s largest social networking site in the mid-2000s, at its peak hosting over 100 million registered users.

The platform distinguished itself by enabling extensive profile customization through HTML, allowing users to personalize their pages with music, videos, and multimedia. With a major emphasis on music, particularly after the launch of its music feature in 2008, it empowered artists to build audience relationships and played a significant role in launching musical careers. Its vibrant community primarily attracted teenagers and young adults interested in creative self-expression and music discovery.
