MySpace is a social networking website. Its headquarters are in Beverly Hills, California[5] where it shares an office building with its immediate owner, News Corp. Digital Media, owner of Fox News, Wall St Journal, National Geographic Channel and many more media properties.

MySpace became the most popular social networking site in the United States in June 2006.[6] According to comScore, MySpace was overtaken internationally by its main competitor, Facebook, in April 2008, based on monthly unique visitors.[7][8]

MySpace employs 1,000 employees, after laying off 30 percent of its workforce in June 2009.

After the 2002 launch of Friendster, several eUniverse employees with Friendster accounts saw its potential and decided to mimic the more popular features of the social networking website, in August 2003. Within 10 days, the first version of MySpace was ready for launch.[12] A complete infrastructure of finance, human resources, technical expertise, bandwidth, and server capacity was available for the site, right out of the gate, so the MySpace team wasn’t distracted with typical start-up issues.

The project was overseen by Brad Greenspan (eUniverse's Founder, Chairman, CEO), who managed Chris DeWolfe (MySpace's starting CEO), Josh Berman, Tom Anderson (MySpace's starting president), and a team of programmers and resources provided by eUniverse.
