4. MySpace Is Dead. Long Live Myspace
•

The new Myspace, which first came online in late 2012 as a music-discovery service with the
support of Justin Timberlake, officially launched to the public this month.

•

At the same time, the old capital-S MySpace is no more, departing for that big social network
in the sky (although all user content will still exist on the new site).

•

“One artist in particular, Steve Angello, summarized what we were really focused on,”
explains new co-owner Tim Vanderhook.

•

“He said,

‘MySpace used to be my home.
Most artists want it to be their home
on the web, but I want a single place
to house my profile, music, videos
and fans, and a feedback system to
make me better at what I do.’

That sums up the vision of Myspace.”
