What is myspace for anyway?

Question

Some say it's like a dating site but it doesn't seem that way to me.

Answer 1

MySpace is a social networking website based in West Hollywood, California offering an interactive, user-submitted network of blogs, profiles, groups, photos, MP3s, videos and an internal e-mail system. According to Alexa Internet, as of July 2006, it is the world's fourth most popular English-language website and the sixth most popular in any language[1]. It is the most popular site in the United States, accounting for 4.5% of all website visits[2] (note it is possible that other sites have a greater number of unique visitors). MySpace has gradually gained more popularity than similar sites such as Facebook, Bebo, Friendster, Xanga, MyYearbook, FriendsReunited.co.uk, Classmates.com and LiveJournal to achieve 80 percent of visits to online social networking websites[2]. It has become an increasingly influential part of contemporary pop culture, especially in the Anglosphere. MySpace has 300 employees, is owned by Newscorp, and does not disclose revenues or profits. MySpace currently reports just over 95 million members, with 500,000 new members each week.

The creators of MySpace have hosted many parties in Hollywood, Jacksonville, Miami, Orlando, New York City, Chicago, Boston, San Francisco, Seattle, Hawaii, and McAllen, Texas to support the site. The headquarters is in Los Angeles, but the parent company is headquartered in New York City.

MySpace is also home to various independent musicians and independent filmmakers who upload songs and short films directly on their profile. These songs and films can also be embedded in other profiles, an interconnectedness which adds to MySpace's appeal for musicians and filmmakers alike. Because of the high popularity, mainstream musicians and filmmakers alike have continued this trend as well

It's for emo kids to whinge and moan about how much they hate the world and want to die...

I just use it as a positive outlet for my rage (It really works!) and getting in contact with my friends, who also have a Myspace account.
