SigEx Telecom : All kids come to MySpaceby Corina Ciubotaru

MySpace.com is the unrivaled king of social networking. Founded by Chris DeWolfe and Tom Anderson under the umbrella of their company Intermix Media, the website has been a hit from day one. It’s growing ever more popular in the Web 2.0 world, where everyone wants to see and be seen and user-generated content is the word on all Web-developing companies’ lips. If we can post our thougths, feelings, business ideas or articles on blogs, films on sites like YouTube and Pyro.TV or important information that all should know on wikis, why shouldn’t we be able to release this massive flow of information on a single site? MySpace does just that for 300 million people and even small companies. It’s a little universe in itself. MySpace has been acquired by News Corp. in 2005 when it was already hot and growing fast. Even afterwards, it kept on growing. In the beginning of last year, it had 43 million members, but by August, it claimed to hold 100 million accounts. 90% of users come from the US and according to a recent study they tend to have lower education, be younger than the ones using rival Facebook.com, and also tend to represent minorities. Not long ago it was also the favorite site for users uploading content from their mobile phones, and there have been rumors that it ranked Number 1 in the total of US website visits. And lately it encountered a PR problem, as it is also home to thousands of sex offenders according to a list the site was forced to provide a few days ago.
