About MySpace.com

MySpace is a social networking website based in West Hollywood, California offering an interactive network of blogs, user 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. It is the most popular site in the United States, accounting for 4.5% of all website visits (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, MyYearbook, FriendsReunited.co.uk, Classmates.com and LiveJournal to achieve 80 percent of visits to online social networking websites. 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 post songs and short films directly on their profile. These songs and films can also be embedded in other profiles. Because of the high popularity, mainstream musicians and filmmakers alike have entered this trend as well.
