Myspace (stylized as myspace, previously stylized as MySpace and My_____)5 is a social networking service with a strong music emphasis owned by Specific Media LLC and pop music singer and actor Justin Timberlake.6 Myspace was launched in August 2003 and is headquartered in Beverly Hills, California.78 In June 2012, Myspace had 25 million unique U.S. visitors.9
Myspace was founded in 2003 by Tom Anderson and Chris DeWolfe, and was later acquired by News Corporation in July 2005 for $580 million.10 From 2005 until early 2008, Myspace was the most visited social networking site in the world, and in June 2006 surpassed Google as the most visited website in the United States.1112 In April 2008, Myspace was overtaken by Facebook in the number of unique worldwide visitors, and was surpassed in the number of unique U.S. visitors in May 2009,1314 though Myspace generated $800 million in revenue during the 2008 fiscal year.15 Since then, the number of Myspace users has declined steadily in spite of several redesigns.16 As of June 2013[update], Myspace was ranked 303 by total web traffic, and 223 in the United States.3
Myspace had a significant influence on pop culture and music17 and created a gaming platform that launched the successes of Zynga and Rock You, among others.18 The site also started the trend of creating unique URLs for companies and artists.19
In June 2009, Myspace employed approximately 1,600 workers.20 Since then the company has undergone several rounds of layoffs and by June 2011, Myspace had reduced its staff to around 200.2 In June 2011, Specific Media Group and Justin Timberlake jointly purchased the company for approximately $35 million.21
History of MySpace
Beginnings: 2003–2005
In August 2003, several eUniverse employees with Friendster accounts saw potential in its social networking features. The group decided to mimic the more popular features of the website. Within 10 days, the first version of Myspace was ready for launch, implemented using ColdFusion.1622 A complete infrastructure of finance, human resources, technical expertise, bandwidth, and server capacity was available for the site. 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.
The first Myspace users were eUniverse employees. The company held contests to see who could sign up the most users.23 eUniverse used its 20 million users and e-mail subscribers to breathe life into MySpace,24 and move it to the head of the pack of social networking websites. A key architect was tech expert Toan Nguyen who helped stabilize the Myspace platform when Brad Greenspan asked him to join the team.25 Co-founder and CTO Aber Whitcomb played an integral role in software architecture, utilizing the, then, superior development speed of ColdFusion over other dynamic database driven server-side languages of the time. Despite over ten times the number of developers, Friendster, which was developed in JavaServer Pages (jsp), could not keep up with the speed of development of Myspace and cfm.
The MySpace.com domain was originally owned by YourZ.com, Inc.,262728 intended until 2002 for use as an online data storage and sharing site. By 2004, it was transitioned from a file storage service to a social networking site. A friend, who also worked in the data storage business, reminded Chris DeWolfe that he had earlier bought the domain MySpace.com.29 DeWolfe suggested they charge a fee for the basic Myspace service.30 Brad Greenspan nixed the idea, believing that keeping Myspace free was necessary to make it a successful community.31
Rise and purchase by News Corp: 2005–2008
Myspace quickly gained popularity among teenage and young adult social groups. In February 2005, DeWolfe held talks with Mark Zuckerberg over acquiring Facebook but DeWolfe rejected Zuckerberg's $75 million asking price. [3]
Some employees of Myspace, including DeWolfe and Berman, were able to purchase equity in the property before MySpace and its parent company eUniverse (now renamed Intermix Media) was bought. In July 2005, in one of the company's first major Internet purchases, Rupert Murdoch's News Corporation (the parent company of Fox Broadcasting and other media enterprises) purchased Myspace for US$580 million.2232 News Corporation had beat out Viacom by offering a higher price for the website,33 and the purchase was seen as a good investment at the time.33 Of the $580 million purchase price, approximately $327 million has been attributed to the value of Myspace according to the financial adviser fairness opinion.34 Within a year, Myspace had tripled in value from its purchase price.3333 News Corporation saw the purchase as a way to capitalize on Internet advertising, and drive traffic to other News Corporation properties.32
After losing the bidding war for Myspace, Viacom chairman Sumner Redstone stunned the entertainment industry in September 2006 when he fired Tom Freston from the position of CEO. Redstone believed that the failure to acquire MySpace contributed to the 20% drop in Viacom's stock price in 2006 up to the date of Freston's ouster. Freston's successor as CEO, Philippe Dauman, was quoted as saying "never, ever let another competitor beat us to the trophy". Redstone told interviewer Charlie Rose that losing MySpace had been "humiliating," adding, "MySpace was sitting there for the taking for $500 million." (Myspace was sold in 2012 by News Corp for $35 million.)35
In January 2006, Fox announced plans to launch a UK version of Myspace in a bid to "tap into the UK music scene"36 which they have since done. They released a version in China37 and have since launched similar versions in other countries.
The 100 millionth account was created on August 9, 2006,38 in the Netherlands.39
On November 1, 2007, Myspace and Bebo joined the Google-led OpenSocial alliance, which already included Friendster, Hi5, LinkedIn, Plaxo, Ning and SixApart. OpenSocial was to promote a common set of standards for software developers to write programs for social networks. Facebook remained independent. Google had been unsuccessful in building its own social networking site Orkut in the U.S. market and was using the alliance to present a counterweight to Facebook.40414243
By late 2007 into 2008, Myspace was considered the leading social networking site, and consistently beat out main competitor Facebook in traffic. Initially, the emergence of Facebook did little to diminish Myspace's popularity; at the time, Facebook was targeted only at college students. At its peak, when News Corp attempted to merge it with Yahoo! in 2007, Myspace was valued at $12 billion.44 45
Decline and sale by News Corp: 2008–2012
On April 19, 2008, Facebook overtook Myspace in the Alexa rankings.4647 Since then, Myspace has seen a continuing loss of membership, and there are several suggestions for its demise, including the fact that it stuck to a "portal strategy" of building an audience around entertainment and music, whereas Facebook and Twitter continually launched new features to improve the social-networking experience.4849
A former Myspace executive suggested that the US $900 million three-year advertisement deal with Google, while being a short-term cash windfall, was a handicap in the long run. That deal required Myspace to place even more ads on its already heavily advertised space, which made the site slow, more difficult to use, and less flexible. Myspace could not experiment with its own site without forfeiting revenue, while rival Facebook was rolling out a new clean site design.5051 MySpace CEO Chris DeWolfe reported that he had to push back against Fox Interactive Media's sales team who monetarized the site without regard to user experience.16
While Facebook focused on creating a platform that allowed outside developers to build new applications, Myspace built everything in-house. Shawn Gold, Myspace's former head of marketing and content, said "Myspace went too wide and not deep enough in its product development. We went with a lot of products that were shallow and not the best products in the world." The products division had introduced many features (communication tools such as instant messaging, a classifieds program, a video player, a music player, a virtual karaoke machine, a self-serve advertising platform, profile-editing tools, security systems, privacy filters, and Myspace book lists, among others). However, the features were often buggy and slow as there was insufficient testing, measuring, and iterating.16
Danah Boyd, a senior researcher at Microsoft Research, noted of social networking websites that Myspace and others were a very peculiar business—one in which companies might serially rise, fall, and disappear, as "Influential peers pull others in on the climb up—and signal to flee when it's time to get out". The volatility of social networks was exemplified in 2006 when Connecticut Attorney General Richard Blumenthal launched an investigation into children's exposure to pornography on Myspace; the resulting media frenzy and Myspace's inability to build an effective spam filter gave the site a reputation as a "vortex of perversion". Around that time, specialized social media companies such as Twitter formed and began targeting Myspace users, while Facebook rolled out communication tools which were seen as safe in comparison to Myspace. Boyd compared the shift of white, middle-class kids from the "seedy" Myspace to the "supposedly safer haven" of Facebook, to the "white flight" from American cities; the perception of Myspace eventually drove advertisers away as well.16 In addition, Myspace had particular problems with vandalism, phishing, malware and spam which it failed to curtail, making the site seem inhospitable.52
These have been cited as factors why users, who as teenagers were Myspace's strongest audience in 2006 and 2007,5354 had been migrating to Facebook. Facebook, which started strong with the 18-to-24 group (mostly college students),55 has been much more successful than Myspace at attracting older users.565758 Not unlike MySpace, Bebo was also unable to compete effectively with Facebook which saw its valuation plunge from $850 million to just $10 million between 2008 and 2010.59
Chairman and CEO Rupert Murdoch was said to be frustrated that Myspace never met expectations, as a distribution outlet for Fox studio content, and missing the US$1 billion mark in total revenues.60 That resulted in DeWolfe and Anderson gradually losing their status within Murdoch's inner circle of executives, plus DeWolfe's mentor Peter Chernin, the President and COO of News Corp. who was based in Los Angeles, departed the company. Former AOL executive Jonathan Miller, who joined News Corp in charge of the digital media business, was in the job for three weeks when he shuffled Myspace's executive team in April 2009. Myspace President Tom Anderson stepped down while Chris DeWolfe was replaced as Myspace CEO by former Facebook COO Owen Van Natta.6162 A News Corp. meeting in March 2009 over the direction of Myspace was reportedly the catalyst for that management shakeup, with the Google search deal about to expire, the departure of key personnel (Myspace's COO, SVP of engineering, and SVP of strategy) to form a startup. Furthermore, the opening of extravagant new offices around the world was questioned, as rival Facebook did not have similarly expensive expansion plans yet it still attracted international users at a rapid rate.16 The changes to Myspace's executive ranks was followed in June 2009 by a layoff of 37.5% of its workforce (including 30 percent of its U.S. employees), reducing employees from 1,600 to 1,000.16
In 2009, around the time that Myspace underwent layoffs and a management shakeup, the site "relied on drastic redesigns as Hail Mary passes to get users back". However this may have backfired for Myspace, as it is noted that users generally disliked interface tweaks on rival Facebook (which avoided major site redesigns).5363
Myspace has attempted to redefine itself as a social entertainment website, with more of a focus on music, movies, celebrities, and TV, instead of a social networking website. Myspace also developed a linkup with Facebook that would allow musicians and bands to manage their Facebook profiles. CEO Mike Jones was quoted as saying that Myspace now is a "complementary offer" to Facebook Inc., which is "not a rival anymore."45
In March 2011, market research figures released by comScore suggested that Myspace had lost 10 million users between January and February 2011, and that it had fallen from 95 million to 63 million unique users during the previous twelve months.64 Myspace registered its sharpest audience declines in the month of February 2011, as traffic fell 44% from a year earlier to 37.7 million unique U.S. visitors. Advertisers have been reported as unwilling to commit to long term deals with the site.65
In late February 2011, News Corp officially put the site up for sale, which was estimated to be worth $50–200 million.66 Losses from last quarter of 2010 were $156 million, over double of the previous year, which dragged down the otherwise strong results of parent News Corp.6768 The deadline for bids, May 31, 2011, passed without any above the reserve price of $100 million being submitted69 It has been said that the rapid deterioration in Myspace's business during the most recent quarter deterred many potential suitors.67
On June 29, 2011, Myspace announced to label partners and press via email that it had been acquired by Specific Media for an undisclosed sum.70 CNN reported that Myspace sold for $35 million, and noted that it was "far less than the $580 million News Corp. paid for Myspace in 2005."71 Rupert Murdoch went on to call the Myspace purchase a "huge mistake."72 Time Magazine compared News Corporation's purchase of Myspace to Time Warner's purchase of AOL – a conglomerate trying to stay ahead of the competition.33 Many former executives have gone onto further success after departing Myspace.73
Many games operated by popular developers such as Zynga, RockYou, and Playdom have closed their operations on Myspace.74 On June 11, 2012, MySpace dropped all games from their platform with little or no notice to the gaming community.7576 In May 2012, the company settled with the U.S. Federal Trade Commission (FTC) regarding privacy concerns which included a 20-year regulatory privacy assessment program similar to that of Facebook and Google.77
In January 2012, the company announced at CES that it would introduce MySpace TV with Panasonic.78
New Myspace
On September 24, 2012, Justin Timberlake, who has an ownership stake in the company, tweeted a link to a video showing a redesigned Myspace, which is dubbed the "new Myspace".79 During the months following Timberlake's tweet Myspace began its closed beta testing phase for new.myspace.com. A new feature is the streaming music player where users can queue songs, create mixes or playlists, or start a radio station from a song much like Pandora Radio. Around midnight on Sunday January 13, 2013, new Myspace entered its open beta phase.
On 5 June 2013, MySpace announced that it would be shutting down all games on its platform, though no date was given. It did so on June 11, 2013.80
On 12 June 2013, Myspace announced the launch of a mobile app to accompany the new Myspace. The app allows users to listen to personal radio stations, as well those created by artists. It also allows users to create animated GIF files. Originally only available for the iPhone the app is slated for future release on the Android mobile operating system.81
On 13 June 2013, it was reported that MySpace deleted nearly all existing user content and discontinued "Classic MySpace" without consulting its remaining users in a reset of the site.8283 The mass deletion, which took place without giving users any warning or opportunity to back up their personal data, caused an outcry from thousands of users who had lost years' worth of blog entries, emails from loved ones who had since died, evidence related to pending court cases, and games in which they had made considerable monetary investments. Some users demanded MySpace to reinstate MySpace Classic as an alternative to the new MySpace. The administrators responded: "Change isn't easy and there has been a lot going on lately. We understand that this information is very important to you. Please understand that your blogs have not been deleted. Your content is safe and we have been discussing the best ways possible to provide you your blogs."84 As of November 2013, MySpace has only given access to blogs, continuing to neglect to provide access to users' messages and comments. A petition on whitehouse.gov, a petition on change.org, and a Facebook group "Occupy MySpace" failed to gain traction.
Website features
Bulletins are posts that are posted on to a "bulletin board" for everyone on a Myspace user's friends list to see. Bulletins can be useful for contacting an entire friends list without resorting to messaging users individually. They have also become the primary attack point for phishing. Bulletins are deleted after ten days.
Myspace had a "Groups" feature that allowed a group of users to share a common page and message board. Groups could be created by anybody, and the moderator of the group could choose for anyone to join, or to approve or deny requests to join. In November 2010, the group feature was turned off; a user clicking on the "Groups" link in the features menu was led to a page that announced that groups were being revamped, and the user could sign up to be informed of when groups would come back. However, As of May 2012 it now states in the Help page "For now, Myspace groups are not available. This is part of an ongoing effort to simplify Myspace and improve the experience for everyone. Although we removed groups, Myspace is still the perfect destination to stay connected."
Since Youtube's founding in 2005, Myspace users' have had the ability to embed YouTube videos in their Myspace profiles. Realizing the competitive threat to the new Myspace Videos service, Myspace banned embedded YouTube videos from its user profiles. Myspace users widely protested the ban, prompting Myspace to lift the ban shortly thereafter.85
In early 2006, Myspace introduced Myspace IM, an instant messenger that uses one's Myspace account as a screen name. A Myspace user logs into the client using the same e-mail associated with his or her Myspace account. Unlike other parts of MySpace, Myspace IM is stand-alone software for Microsoft Windows. Users who use Myspace IM get instant notification of new Myspace messages, friend requests, and comments. Myspace IM was added as a default feature of Myspace by the end of 2009.
In early 2007, Myspace introduced MySpaceTV, a service similar to the YouTube video sharing website. Myspace has been showing videos as early as 2006, but it has changed it name to MySpaceTV for a while. In 2009, MySpaceTV reverted to Myspace Video once again. Myspace Video continues to be not as popular as other video sharing sites such as YouTube, but many sites had partnered with Myspace such as Hulu to promote their media to the Myspace community.
There were a variety of environments in which users could access Myspace content on their mobile phone. American mobile phone provider Helio released a series of mobile phones in early 2006 that could utilize a service known as Myspace Mobile to access and edit one's profile and communicate with, and view the profiles of other members.86 Additionally, UIEvolution and Myspace developed a mobile version of Myspace for a wider range of carriers, including AT&T,87 Vodafone88 and Rogers Wireless.89
In April 2007, Myspace launched a news service called Myspace News which displays news from RSS feeds that users submit. It also allows users to rank each news story by voting for it. The more votes a story gets, the higher the story moves up the page.
Full service classifieds listing offered beginning in August 2006. It has grown by 33 percent in one year since inception. Myspace Classifieds was launched right at the same time the site appeared on the internet.90
In 2008, Myspace introduced an API with which users could create applications for other users to post on their profiles. The applications are similar to the Facebook applications. In May 2008, Myspace had added some security options regarding interaction with photos and other media. Many applications that are popular on Myspace had spin off versions on Facebook. The Myspace app Mafia Wars has become a Facebook sensation as well. On the other hand, Facebook applications such as Bumper Stickers and Farmville has been used in Myspace and was popular as well. Many application partnerships such as Zygna and Slide has been responsible from creating third party apps for use on both Myspace and Facebook, along with for use in the iTunes app store.
Launched April 29, 2008, ksolo.myspace.com is a combination of Myspace and kSolo, which allows users to upload audio recordings of themselves singing onto their profile page. Users' friends are able to rate the performances. A video feature is not yet available, but Tom Anderson, Myspace co-founder and president, states that it is in the works.91
Myspace Polls is a feature on Myspace that was brought back in 2008 to enable users to post polls on their profile and share them with other users.
MySpace uses an implementation of Telligent Community for its forum system.92
In 2009, Myspace also added a new status update feature. If a Myspace user has a Twitter account, the tweet will also update the Myspace status. (Facebook also has a similar feature.) It does, however, require that the two accounts be synched up together.
Moods are small emoticons that are used to depict a mood the user is in. The feature was added in July 2007. The mood feature as of 2010 is not included by default with the status updates, but could be shared on the homepage as a separate update.
Blurbs, blogs, multimedia
Profiles contain two standard "blurbs": "About Me" and "Who I'd Like to Meet" sections. Profiles also contain an "Interests" section and a "Details" section. In the "Details" section, "Status" and "Zodiac Sign" fields will always display. However, fields in these sections will not be displayed if members do not fill them in. Profiles also contain a blog with standard fields for content, emotion, and media. Myspace also supports uploading images. One of the images can be chosen to be the "default image", the image that will be seen on the profile's main page, search page, and as the image that will appear to the side of the user's name on comments, messages, etc. A photo editor powered by Fotoflexer is available which can not only crop images and adjust contrast but also convert the image to a cartoon or a line drawing made with neon lights, or put the user's face in a photo of a $100 bill. Flash, such as on MySpace's video service, can be embedded. Blogging features are also available. These features could be hidden on a profile by using the module customizer or using HTML and CSS codes. Photos could be displayed on the Myspace profile instead of a link that it was used in previous years. Photos can be made into a slide show.
Below the User's Friends Space (by default) is the "comments" section, wherein the user's friends may leave comments for all viewers to read. Myspace users have the option to delete any comment or require all comments to be approved before posting. If a user's account is deleted, every comment left on other profiles by that user will be deleted, and replaced with the comment saying "This Profile No Longer Exists". The option of using HTML in comments could be enabled or disabled.
Profile customization
Myspace allows users to customize their user profile pages by entering HTML (but not JavaScript) into such areas as "About Me", "I'd Like to Meet", and "Interests". Videos and flash-based content can be included this way. Users also have the option to add music to their profile pages via Myspace Music, a service that allows bands to post songs for use on Myspace.
A user can also change the general appearance of his or her page by entering CSS (in a <style> ... </style> element) into one of these fields to override the page's default style sheet using Myspace editors. This is often used to tweak fonts and colors. The fact that the user-added CSS is located in the middle of the page (rather than being located in the <head> element) means that the page will begin to load with the default Myspace layout before abruptly changing to the custom layout. A special type of modification is a div overlay, where the default layout is dramatically changed by hiding default text with <div> tags and large images.
There are several independent web sites offering Myspace layout design utilities which let a user select options and preview what their page will look like with them.
In 2008, Myspace launched a new Profile 2.0 as the next generation of the Myspace profile. Profile 2.0 features a cleaner interface and the ability to hide or show modules of the profile, along with customize the position of the module on the profile. Profile 2.0 layouts were released on the internet quickly as the use of the classic Myspace layouts do not work with profile 2.0. Profile 2.0 also was criticized for not looking right when trying to add custom CSS. To add custom CSS, the original theme has to be scrapped and many Myspace tweaks were not functional in the Profile 2.0 layout. In 2010, Myspace abandoned the Profile 1.0 layout and made Profile 2.0 the standard features of the profile. That promoted a cleaner interface and many themes are prepackaged with the customizer, along with the make a custom theme using various parameters of profile editing. Applications are used for decoration. While Profile 2.0 was the standard layout, a new profile was launched as an optional upgrade. The new profile was launched to keep up with the trends of the modern profile interface and attempts to give it a simpler and more mature design. Profile 3.0 intends to enable users more flexible customization and simpler theme building, but is not much different from the Profile 2.0 interface.
In late 2003 Fin Leavell encoded his personal music into a Myspace profile, becoming the first Myspace musician.93
Myspace profiles for musicians in the website's Myspace Music section differ from normal profiles in allowing artists to upload their entire discographies consisting of MP3 songs. The uploader must have rights to use the songs (e.g. their own work, permission granted, etc.). Unsigned musicians can use Myspace to post and sell music using SNOCAP, which proved popular among Myspace users.
Shortly after Myspace was sold to Rupert Murdoch, the owner of Fox News and 20th Century Fox, in 2005, they launched their own record label, MySpace Records, in an effort to discover unknown talent currently on Myspace Music.29 Regardless of the artist already being famous or still looking for a break into the industry, artists can upload their songs onto Myspace and have access to millions of people on a daily basis. Some well known singers such as Lily Allen, Owl City, Hollywood Undead, Sean Kingston, Arctic Monkeys and Drop Dead, Gorgeous gained fame through Myspace. The availability of music on this website continues to develop, largely driven by young talent. Over eight million artists have been discovered by Myspace and many more continue to be discovered daily.94 In late 2007, the site launched The MySpace Transmissions, a series of live-in-studio recordings by well-known artists.
Myspace, in 2008, redesigned its music page adding new features for all musicians. These new features include the users' ability to create playlists, resembling the functions of Last.fm and other social music websites, along with the popular ProjectPlaylist that is popular on profiles. The new music features also archive songs from many popular artists, resembling the services of iTunes and Napster. In March 2010, listening to the full song in the search results has been disabled and replaced by 30 second samples. Myspace music also suggests songs based on the songs you are currently listening to or the songs you had added to the playlist, making it a music discovery tool. The site features charts similar to Billboard charts and it keeps track of the most popular music liked by users of all genres. It also enables user to view popular music in other countries of the world, mostly in Europe and major Asian countries such as China and Russia.
Past redesigns
Throughout 2007 and 2008, Myspace redesigned many of the features of its site in both layout and in function. One of the first functions to be redesigned was the user home page, with features such as status updates, applications, and subscriptions being added in order to compete with Facebook.In 2008, the Myspace homepage was redesigned. Myspace Music was redecorated in 2008 and 2009, making it more like an online music store similar to iTunes and Rhapsody, along with the ability to create playlists. The use of Playlist.com on Myspace was abolished after the new Myspace music was launched.
On March 10, 2010, Myspace had some new features added like recommendation engine for new users which suggests games, music and videos based on their previous search habits. The security on Myspace was also accounted to, with the criticism of Facebook, to make it a safer site. The security of Myspace enables users to choose if the content could be viewed for Friends Only, 18 and older, or Everyone. The website will also release several mobile micro applications for Myspace gamers besides sending them games alerts. The site may release 20 to 30 micro apps and go mobile in 2011.95
In Summer 2010, the color scheme of Myspace changed. The classic blue was replaced by a more white interface, to resemble the look and feel of Facebook, and to attract users of Facebook to join or rejoin Myspace. The simplification of the navigation bar also made it easier to find features quickly. In August 2010, the home page was modified to give new room for the Myspace Stream and to make it resemble Facebook further. Profile 3.0 was launched as well, which was an upgrade from profile 2.0. That enabled users to have more creativity with a simpler interface. Templates, like profile 2.0, are added too but it also enabled simpler template creation methods and module control. Building templates has become simpler; without the use of custom HTML or CSS, users can upload photos from their computers or find background images on the Internet by typing a URL, to give it more of a personal, more sentimental and individualist image than the prepackaged layout sites that were used before. HTML and CSS can be still used on the profile, but an HTML or CSS module must be added to promote a neater layout but still use the sponsored layout sites.
In September 2010, Myspace continued to work on improving the website. A photos section was added and the Fotoflexer app was added to photos. Myspace also enabled users to integrate their Myspace activity to their Twitter and Facebook accounts, to attract and show others that they are still on Myspace and to bring users back to Myspace. Myspace Movies was also added to promote movies and movie related media.
In October 2010, Myspace introduced a beta version of a new site design on a limited scale, with plans to switch all interested users to the new site in late November. Chief executive Mike Jones said the site is no longer competing with Facebook as a general social networking site. Instead, Myspace would be music-oriented and would target younger people. Jones believed most younger users would continue to use the site after the redesign, though older users might not. The goal of the redesign is to increase the number of Myspace users and how long they spend there. On October 26, BTIG analyst Richard Greenfield said, "Most investors have written off MySpace now," and he was unsure whether the changes would help the company recover.96
In November 2010, MySpace changed its logo to coincide with the new site design. The word "my" appears in the Helvetica font, followed by a symbol representing a space. The logo change was announced on October 8, 2010 and appeared on the site on November 11, 2010.97 Also that month, MySpace integrated with Facebook Connect – calling it "Mash Up with Facebook" in an announcement widely seen as the final act of acknowledging Facebook's domination of the social networking industry.9899
In January 2011, it was announced that the Myspace staff would be reduced by 47%.100 Despite the new design, user adoption continued to decrease.101
Contemporary redesigns
In September 2012, a new redesign was announced (but no date given) making Myspace more visual and apparently optimized for tablets.102
By May 2013 (presumably before), users have been able to transfer over to the new Myspace redesign.
As with other social networking services, Myspace has met criticism on a range of issues, including online privacy, child safety, and censorship. MySpace is also rife with fake profiles and does not respond to requests to remove them.
Corporate information
International versions
Since early 2006, Myspace has offered the option to access the service in different regional versions. The alternative regional versions present automated content according to locality (e.g. UK users see other UK users as "Cool New People," and UK oriented events and adverts, etc.), offer local languages other than English, or accommodate the regional differences in spelling and conventions in the English-speaking world (e.g. United States: "favorites", mm/dd/yyyy; the rest of the world: "favourites", dd/mm/yyyy).
Sites currently offered are:
MySpace Developer Platform (MDP)
On February 5, 2008, Myspace set up a developer platform which allows developers to share their ideas and write their own Myspace applications. The opening was inaugurated with a workshop at the MySpace, San Francisco offices two weeks before the official launch. The MDPdead link is based on the OpenSocial API which was presented by Google in November 2007 to support social networks to develop social and interacting widgets and can be seen as an answer to Facebook's developer platform. The first public beta of the Myspace Apps was released on March 5, 2008, with around 1,000 applications available.103104
Myspace server infrastructure
At QCon London 2008,105 Myspace Chief Systems Architect Dan Farino indicated that Myspace was sending 100 gigabits of data per second out to the Internet, of which 10 gigabits was HTML content and the remainder was media such as videos and pictures. The server infrastructure consists of over 4,500 web servers (running Windows Server 2003, IIS 6.0, ASP.NET and .NET Framework 3.5), over 1,200 cache servers (running 64-bit Windows Server 2003), and over 500 database servers (running 64-bit Windows Server 2003 and SQL Server 2005) as well as a custom distributed file system which runs on Gentoo Linux.
As of 2009, Myspace has started migrating from HDD to SSD technology in some of their servers, resulting in space and power usage savings.106
Revenue model
Myspace operates solely on revenues generated by advertising as its revenue model possesses no user-paid features.107 Through its Web site and affiliated ad networks, Myspace is second only to Yahoo! in its capacity to collect data about its users and thus in its ability to use behavioral targeting to select the ads each visitor sees.108
On August 8, 2006, search engine Google signed a $900 million deal to provide a Google search facility and advertising on Myspace.109110111 Myspace has proven to be a windfall for many smaller companies that provide widgets or accessories to the social networking giant. Companies such as Slide.com, RockYou, and YouTube were all launched on Myspace as widgets providing additional functionality to the site. Other sites created layouts to personalize the site and made hundreds of thousands of dollars for its owners most of whom were in their late teens and early twenties.112113
In November 2008, Myspace announced that user-uploaded content that infringed on copyrights held by MTV and its subsidiary networks would be redistributed with advertisements that would generate revenue for the companies.114
Acquisition of Imeem
On November 18, 2009, Imeem was acquired by Myspace Music for an undisclosed amount. After the acquisition was completed on December 8, 2009, it was confirmed that Myspace Music bought Imeem for less than US$1 million in cash.115116 Myspace has also stated that they will be transitioning Imeem's users, and migrating all their play lists over to Myspace Music. On January 15, 2010, Myspace began restoring Imeem playlists.117
Mobile app
Along with its website redesign, Myspace also completely redesigned their mobile application. The resigned app in the Apple App Store was released in early June 2013. The app features a tool for users to create and edit gif images and post them to their Myspace stream. The app also allows users to stream available 'live streams' of concerts through the mobile app. New users are able to join Myspace from the app by signing in with Facebook or Twitter or by signing up with email.

The 15,000 seats in the Bees stadium sold out in less than one hour when tickets sales began in December.
The teams played in Utah because the Colorado Rockies are working to build their fan base.
"It's awesome. I'm really excited. I think everyone is really excited when we found out. It sold out really fast," said Kyle Bakeberg.
ABC 4 took a camera through the crowd to get reaction about the big game.
"Major league baseball in Utah. Wish we had a team," said Mike Benson.
"I'm a Bee's Fan, but I'm rooting for the Mariners," said Carrie Johnston.
The bees General Manager says we may have another major league game in Utah by next year.
The Bees home opener is April 4.

liquid nitrogen cooling a possibility?

I've run CMOS components (an obsolete CMOS op amp from Analog Devices comes to mind) at cryogenic temperatures. Some interesting effects are observed and it is at times required to run Vcc up beyond the normal rating to get them to work. Reliability and noise tend to improve at LN2 temps, provided there is no catastrophic failure (a likely occurrence). Bipolar components tend not to work at those temperatures due to carrier freeze out. This is not a problem for many CMOS components, but the reasons are less well understood. I would NEVER submerge an entire motherboard. As previously noted, the differential thermal stresses would kill it. Use another method.

Silicon does not become a conductor at low temperatures. It becomes less conductive, having less themally generated carriers. The leakage current becomes less and the wires (a major source of heat) become more conductive at lower temperature. However, I do not know if the field effect transistors will behave normally at low temperatures. _______________________________________________ Beowulf mailing list, Beowulf at beowulf.org To change your subscription (digest mode or unsubscribe) visit http://www.beowulf.org/mailman/listinfo/beowulf

I am from south carolina born and raised, and being from south carolina i will always be a reb. But for the last several years ( more like 15 years) south carolina has been bombarded by the naacp and other organizations to remove the flag from at first the state building and then recently off the capital grounds. i would love to have others input on this matter, should it be removed or should it remain there in respect for the 240,000 confederates that died following it during the civil war? in my opinion Huckabee said it best. when visiting columbia south carolina in the fall of 2008 a reporter asked him what he thinks should be done about the flag on state grounds and he said, " I know that if someone came to my homestate of arkansas and told us where to put our flag we'd tell them where to put the pole." |

I have seen the monument and the flag. It is inside the fence where the monument stands. When it was flown over the statehouse I think it was wrong. It only started flying over the state house during the Civil Rights era in South Carolina, so the intent was not to honor the dead of the Civil War but had other meanings. Placing a Confederate flag with the monument does not bother me except I believe it is the wrong flag. Instead of the battleflag I think it would have been better to fly the Stars and Bars or the 2nd or 3rd National. Those do not seem to offend as much. That said it is interesting that no one seems to mind the gigantic statue of Hampton on the other side of the statehouse ,which is not Hampton as the governor but Hampton the warrior on horseback with the names of all the battles he was in around the bottom of the base. I found that curious . |

the stars and bars were replaced with the battleflag and that is what most people associate with the confederacy. the war was not fought over slavery only 11% of the souths white population owned slaves as they were very expensive, so the majority of the common footsoldier didnot own slaves. those footsoldiers followed the battleflag into combat so it was under that flag that they lost their lives. |

The CBF did not "replace" any of the national flags. It was mostly used as a guidon to mark the flanks of a regiment, and then not as often as we've come to think.
Unfortunately, their government did, but that's a topic covered many times in many threads on this and other boards. That's the romantic version of history widely held by many. Men don't fight for a flag but for what it symbolizes. The CBF has been tainted by the careless use of it by some reprehensible people, therefore it has come to symbolize something quite different to a great many people. South Carolina has a right to fly anything it pleases, and the NAACP has every right to object and to influence other organizations to shun the state when it comes to holding conventions and tournaments in that state. Just some thoughts. Ole |

The battle flag did not "replace" the Stars and Bars. The Stars and Bars was a national flag, the battle flag was not. The Stars and Bars was replaced as the national flag by the: "Stainless Banner" in 1863. The battle flag came into being because the Stars and Bars looked enough like the US flag to cause confusion on the battlefield. The battle flag was meant to be carried into battle. It was not meant to be a national flag. Because the: "Stainless Banner" also caused confusion, it was modified in 1865 by adding a red stripe and that version was the last national flag of the Confederacy.

the stars and bars were replaced with the battle flag because in the thick of battle it was hard to tell the difference between the stars and bars and the stars and strips. and i know that each regiment carried a battleflag and a regimental flag. |

It is sad and it discusts me to no end, that we are expected to give up our herritage. The D.O.C. had a a monument at the County Court House where they few the Stars and Bars, and NAACP came in and made a fuss.Down in Shreveport Louisiana. But enough D.O.C. sympathizers came to aide of the D.O.C. when the NAACP had there protest, tht it still remains there to this day. |

Ole you summed up what I was going to say much better than I could . Thanks for that. D.O.C. had a a monument at the County Court House What is the D. O. C.? I am not sure to who this is ? Do you mean the UDC? United Daughters of the Confederacy ? those footsoldiers followed the battleflag into combat so it was under that flag that they lost their lives. From what I have read the battle flag was only used by certain troops . Cleburne's men followed the Hardee flag, I have seen many different flags on display that the soldiers of the Confederacy fought under and lost their lives. The battle flag was a square . The rectangular flag that as Ole says has been been tainted by the careless use of it by some reprehensible people, was a Navy flag . |

no matter what flag it is doesnt change the point. the naacp wants the flag down and the flag on the state grounds REPRESENTS the actions and sacrafices that the confederate soldiers took. If the naacp wants to say that the confederate flag represents oppression and racism when that flags nation only lasted five years then why dont they say the american flag that held slavery for three hundred years represent the same thing? Does the naacp know that A. Lincoln wanted to deport all african americans to the dominican republic? |

I have no problem with people that are proud of their heritage. However to many, many people, this flag has become a symbol of hate. Blacks, Jewish people, Catholics, and most anybody that doesn't believe in white supremacy have over time learned to see hate when they see this flag. Right or wrong, that is what it has evolved into. http://www.adl.org/hate_symbols/racist_confederate_flag.asp |

that is what it has evloved into to uneducated people. if you will say an object symbolizes hate then you can say guns are a symbol of hate. If people that say the confederate flag symbolizes hate then they just dont have any sense at all. Lincoln made the war about slavery, not the confederacy |

A similiar situation to this is the swastika. If you are not Jewish, you may not feel it as strongly as you feel about the SC flag, but it is exactly the same for anyone who was persecuted by the Nazis, which also included Roma, Catholics, homosexuals, and political prisoners. The swastika in ancient times had a positive connotation, but it was the Nazis who, with their actions, turned the positive to the negative, so negative that to show a swastika now creates the same, perhaps even more violently negative reactions in people. If you were German and supported the Nazis (one finds it hard to believe that was possible but it was), then the swastika was a symbol of your heritage. Pam |

"If people that say the confederate flag symbolizes hate then they just dont have any sense at all." Some of us are old enough to remember the KKK beating and lynching blacks while carrying the flag. I still see it carried by white supremacists. Not once have I ever seen the SCV, UDC or other person so concerned about their heritage confront these idiots. Why? You can blame the NAACP all you want, but much of the hate symbolism now associated with the flag comes from the inaction (and actions) of Southerners themselves. |

hate comes from the people that carry it. Yankee's can hate it all they want but southerners will respect it. |

Then we all can say the american flag is a symbol of hate because america destroyed the native americans, i happen to be 2/3 seminole and if objects can define hate then i want the american flag taken off my state building. |

If you feel as strongly about your Native American heritage as that, then I suppose you'd want to also not have state capitol building, to start out with. Or a state that it represents. This is not a tit-for-tat issue, nor is it an uncomplicated issue. I think it is a bit of a cop out to simply say it's the people that carry the hate, IMO. It's as much of an insult for Southerners who support the SC flag issue to say we want to keep it because of what it means to our heritage (whatever that is--last time I looked we were all one country and had been again for about 150 years) and anyone else be damned, as it is an insult for the Federal government to say we took that land of yours because well we needed it, and just wanted it, and the Native Americans who had lived on it for thousands of years be damned. Not a simple resolution to the fallout from either one. Pam |

Searching and Browsing for Books Searching Electronic Databases and Print Indexes for Articles |
Bioethics Research GuideLibrarian: Carol VreelandBioethics as a subject area can be defined as narrowly or as broadly as the circumstances demand. Many researchers consider "bioethics" to be limited to the moral, social, and ethical implications of human medicine and research on human subjects. This can include implications of human cloning and genetic manipulation, euthanasia, human studies research in medicine and psychology, and eugenics. Others view "bioethics" in the larger sense, as the moral, social, and ethical implications of any action as it relates to biological species and/or systems, including (but not limited to) human and animal health, the environment, and agriculture. This is sometimes called "life science ethics." This research guide will help you get started doing basic library research into bioethics in the broad view. Included in the guide are suggested terms and call number ranges for searching the online catalog or browsing the bookstacks, the top databases to search for article citations, and some major print and online resources available to NC State students, faculty, and staff.

It was a hard fought, ugly game but Frontier (2-0) took home the victory. Frontier's defense forced Lancaster to give up the ball late in the 4th opening the door for Frontier's offense to get the ball within field goal range. Duzer (aka John Ronayne) aces the game winning field goal with just over a minute of time left on the clock. Talk about performing well under pressure! Frontier wins their Home Opener. Final Score 16-14. Way to go Falcons!!
Frontier defeats Lancaster in Week 2

Teeth-rattling impact from a single 12" cab!
The 300-watt (RMS) Vector 112 guitar subwoofer cabinet offers the same world-renowned Vector active guitar subwoofer technology in a smaller, more lightweight package. Inside is a 12" neo woofer with 300 watts (program) available to deliver the thunderous low end that you can only find with the Vector subwoofer system. The concept of the Vector 112 speaker corresponds with the Vector SL guitar subwoofer in terms of easy hook-up and user-friendly operation. Just plug in and play. You can literally feel the power of the Vector 112 speaker cab's low-end shake your bones and yet the high's for your external cabinet are high passed and remain focused and accurate. Simply connect any combo amplifier and get ready to hear all the low end you've been missing and the best part, you can add the Vector 112 to your guitar rig at an amazing low price!
Get the most out of your amp! Call or click today to order.

Beautifully eloquent, soft, uplifting and positive, this track is a mixture of acoustic instruments and sound effects and perfect for night-time driving, dreamy and inspiring visuals. This upbeat, feel-good and positive background track will take you on a journey.
repetitive passages, a strong melody and harmony and warm synth bass combines with a delicate marimba and piano with soft brushed drums. Medium tempo and great for use in a variety of contexts from adverts / commercials, corporate videos and virals to idents.
