Almost twenty years have passed since Myspace was born in August 2003, initially a sort of Friendster clone (from which Facebook also took a lot). Those were the years when Cristiano Ronaldo made his Manchester United debut, the first 50 Cent record was released and the Concorde stopped flying.Īnother era, in which Facebook and Twitter had not yet overwhelmed society, the approach towards social media was much more naive and our Myspace page was personalized with such a mass of images, backgrounds, videos and galleries to make its upload - for the gang at the time - an almost impossible mission (an aspect that could also have played a role in the premature end of this social network). On the other hand, a lot of time has passed: those of Myspace were the years of emo fashion, complete with unlikely hair, embarrassing profiles on Netlog (another protagonist of social prehistory) and songs dedicated to adolescent sadness. It is difficult to remember today how important Myspace was and how artists such as Lily Allen, the Arctic Monkeys and even Adele were born here. He is Tom Anderson, better known as Tom of Myspace: the founder of the pioneering music platform that represented one of the first social phenomena of Silicon Valley. His photo is forever etched in the memory of all of us in our thirties / forties. If you belong to the millennial generation, chances are he was your first friend on social networks.
