Some
Background on the Social Networking Lifestyle Site
MySpace.com
is a leading social networking and lifestyle portal which
enjoyed 21.8 million unique visitors in August and was the
fourth ranked web domain in terms of page views , with nearly
9.5 billion page views in August 2005 according to comScore
Media Metrix, in August 2005. By integrating web profiles,
blogs, instant messaging, e-mail, music downloads, photo galleries,
classified listings, events, groups, chatrooms, and user forums,
the site has created a connected community where users put
their lives online. 35 million member accounts have been created
thus far. With more than 500,000 bands using the site to interact
with fans, upload music and lyrics, list tour dates and post
blogs, MySpacecom has become a premier online destination
for bands to create community and showcase their music. According
to Nielsen/NetRatings, users spend an average of an hour and
43 minutes on the site each month, compared with 34 minutes
for facebook.com and 25 minutes for Friendster.
The
site was founded by Tom Anderson and Chris DeWolfe. DeWolfe
earned a master's degree in business from the University of
Southern California and oversees the money side of MySpace,
whilst the face of the site, Anderson, earned his degree at
UCLA. The site illustrates the power of social networking
and the internet as a promotional tool, perhaps spawning the
next generation of online labels that could eventually compete
with and even replace traditional record companies. The buzz
emanating from MySpace and its young, hip audience attracted
the attention of Rupert Murdoch's News Corporation, which
paid $580 million dollars to buy the site's parent company.
Nervous members of the wildly popular online social networking
spot are blasting its purchase by Rupert Murdoch's News Corp.,
expressing dark fears about the powerful billionaire's alleged
motives and the possibility of privacy breaches, monitoring,
censorship as well as access fees.
However,
DeWolfe and Anderson continue to manage the website. With
the viral marketing power of the Internet, the power to deliver
product digital to consumers and a website that currently
gets more hits than Google, perhaps MySpace will become the
first major breakthough business model since iTunes, if the
site decides to implement ecommerce functionalities - a move
away from the site's advertising sole revenue stream.
