For many people, MySpace was their first foray into social networking, and the site was the world’s top networking site until Facebook surpassed it in early 2009.
MySpace entered the social networking scene eight years ago this month, but the website you see today is drastically different from the one that debuted in 2003. No longer the social media behemoth it once was, MySpace is now partly-owned by Justin Timberlake and used mainly for the promotion of musicians and entertainers. However, this change in culture doesn’t stop the “MySpace Generation” from having memories — fond and otherwise — of the service.
What’s your biggest memory from MySpace?
This month is MySpace’s eight-year anniversary. To mark the occasion, we want to hear your best (and worst) memories of the service as it was when social media was in its infancy. Here are some questions to get you started:
How did you personalize your profile?
Did you ever post any typical MySpace style photos? Still have one? Post a link to it in the comments!
Did the order of your Top Eight ever cause drama with friends?
Tell us your best stories in the comments.
