Myspace

Growing up in the early 2000s there are a couple of things that define those years for many Millenials. One of those things is MySpace. The first real social media platform that took a whole generation by storm is coming back. Well not exactly MySpace itself but something exactly like it called SpaceHey.

- Justin Timberlake is still convinced buying MySpace was a good idea, reveals homepage.

Remember back in 2005 when Myspace was cool? We blogged about our crush from middle school science class, took those "what would you do if..." surveys, and felt honored when we made it into someone's "top friends" box. Those were the days.

Now that people are getting more used to being on social networks like Facebook they seem to be getting more picky about whom they are sharing their information with. According to a survey from the Pew Research Center, 63 percent of social media network users removed people from their friend rolls in 2011, which was up from the 56 percent of those who did so in 2009.

Is a great Internet comeback story in the works? Myspace, the presumed-dead social networking site that was purchased by a group including Justin Timberlake, has revamped itself as a music-listening destination and added more than 1 million new users last month.

Just when you thought MySpace was six-feet under, Justin Timberlake brings the name "MySpace" back to the surface. The singer/actor has taken a minority stake in MySpace, which was acquired by Specific Media on Wednesday. The struggling social media networking site was sold to News Corp. for $35 million.

It appears that MySpace has realized that most people are now on Facebook. Drastic cuts were made at MySpace.
