MySpace is a social networking website. The headquarters are in Beverly Hills, California, US. In June 2006, MySpace became the most popular social networking site in the US. However, nowaday MySpace was overtaken by its main competitor, Facebook.
The origin of MySpace.com domain was a site owned by YourZ.com, Inc. It was intended to be a leading online data storage and sharing site up until 2002. By 2004, MySpace had made transition from a storage site to a social networking site. Shortly after launching the site, one of the member suggested that they start charging a fee for the basic MySpace service. But it was rejected and keeping MySpace free and open to make it a large and successful community.
Around 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 recreated in fall of 2008 along with an updated version of the MySpace profile.
