The new myspace blows now. They had it all nice after turning it into a free music website. Then they set it up so that it only played songs that have a youtube video to go with them and it is a lot of crappy live versions. A lot of songs have disappeared too. Now it is nothing but constant advertisements. I miss the classic version too.

^He could add himself back?

6/19/2015 4:44:51 PM

Yes.

Well, I think it must have been written into the code of myspace that Tom was to always be a friend.

6/19/2015 4:55:07 PM

Hey EMCE we were friends before!

6/19/2015 4:57:20 PM

Jesus, ron, how's it going man?

I was thinking about you not too long ago, and didn't know of a good way to get in touch with you. How's it going man?

6/19/2015 5:01:58 PM

^^^I deleted him and he never came back. Did you delete your account and then start one up again under the same e-mail address? I'm guessing that would probably cause him to be back on your friends list.

6/19/2015 6:44:48 PM

Lol, tom didn't even want to be your friend.

6/19/2015 8:47:15 PM

No. I deleted him, and each time "he" re-added himself.

6/19/2015 9:25:37 PM

^^Yeah he did, but I deleted him.

6/19/2015 11:29:54 PM

I deleted Tom and he never once came back. I must not have as nice of a package as EMCE.

I forgot myspace existed until this. There was blackplanet before that

6/23/2015 9:38:37 AM

Says he has a networth of $60 million. That's kind of low considering he sold it for $500 million (he was co-founder with one other guy...so probably $250...take fees and taxes out...at the least, sitting around $150 mil). I mean...that's more money than I would ever need, but I'd either have more than that through investments, or be sitting pretty close to the original amount. He must have spent a shit-ton of money in the last 10 years.

Oh...and apparently Justin Timberlake now owns Myspace. What the fuck is he trying to do with it?

6/23/2015 9:54:54 AM

you'd be foolish to assume he had more than ~25% of the company. most of that 580mil went to VCs

6/23/2015 11:41:19 AM

Meh...I wouldn't assume to know how much VCs contributed to the start of Myspace from Friendster employees back in 2002.

He kind of tried to bring it back. They remodeled it so it wasn't just a wall like facebook and twitter. Instead they made the free music part of it better. They signed a deal with some of the music labels and allowed tons of free music on there including entire albums. You could make your own playlists too. Then one day something was posted on there about how they were connecting it to youtube to be able to bring you even more free music. That was supposed to be the first step in making it better. Now most of the songs on there don't even play. A youtube video just pops up in the corner and says you can't watch the content. The videos that do work are shitty remix, or live versions. A lot of songs have disappeared too. It was really nice while it lasted.

Hi, I'm tom.

I dunno, I was hoping that myspace would do more to compete with SoundCloud. There are a bunch of things about SoundCloud that annoy me, and I was hoping that a rival competitor would make give rise to better innovation.
