thread_title:  Criticism 

message: The paragraphs on Ivy Tech Community College in the MySpace in Education Settings section are in error and violate the privacy of the person quoted. The quote is taken out of context from an internal e-mail that was soliciting comments from college staff on a proposal to block MySpace from computers on the college network. The quote was not intended for publication. Mr. Bittles did not advocate "shutting down" MySpace, nor were "moral grounds" a reason for doing so. The college routinely blocks pornography sites from being viewed on college network computers because it is a violation of college's sexual harrassment policy to view or display pornography on college computers where they may be viewed by others. There was one incident of a student viewing pornographic images on MySpace in a manner that other students and college staff could see the images, but the proposal is actually based on three reasons: violation of college policy due to pornographic images on MySpace, a significant portion of bandwidth being used for traffic to and from MySpace, and lack of educational purpose for visiting the site. At this time, the issue is only open for discussion among college staff, and there are no plans or policies in place to block MySpace from college computers.

:Thank you for your clarification. I'm not sure if violating the privacy of the quoted person is much of a concern to Wikipedia, however since this quotation is lacking verifiable sources, as indeed is the quote I am replying to above, I shall remove that part completely from the article until such time as verifiable and reliable sources have been provided - even then I doubt it would warrant inclusion in the article as I doubt this policy is dissimilar to that of thousands of other establishments. -- zzuuzz (talk) 19:34, 21 July 2006 (UTC)

message: I removed the following passage in the Security section: "In addition, the use of MySpace by Islamic political activists has raised concerns about links with terrorism, which threatens national and international security". Gimme a break, "links with terrorism"? No. Say what you will about MySpace, but there are no grounds to claim it has "links with terrorism". Anyone can create a MySpace profile, including radical Islamists. Though I suppose one could argue that MySpace should delete such profiles, you can't blame them for the fact that people create them. The sources aren't great, either: One link is to the right-wing "news" site WorldNetDaily, and another is for a personal blog. While there is an ABC News link, all it says is that Al Qaeda members have created MySpace profiles. szyslak (t, c, e) 22:59, 24 July 2006 (UTC)

message: Another criticism that might need to be added is encouraging music piracy or illegal downloading through fake profiles.  I've found fake MySpace profiles for bands (some claim to be run by the band; others don't) that have popular songs by those bands available not only for streaming, but also for download.  Meanwhile, not many bands who are on major labels and who have MySpace pages do not allow MySpace visitors to download their songs.  Has this received any attention in the press at all?  And has MySpace done anything to address this? --Idont Havaname (Talk) 02:24, 25 July 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: I'm really surprised that this hasn't gotten a lot of attention. I have my own "music page" because I want certain songs that bands don't offer on my space.

** Entirely through advertising, through which with 300 employees, server bandwidth, servers themselves, and computers for the employees to work on, must cost a VERY LARGE AMOUNT OF MONEY to pay for all of these things, the employees' salaries and server bandwidth being the ones which are an ongoing expense.

I agree with you that emotional and personal issues in the myspace environment are important in the day to day life of a myspace regular. It isnt really needed for this article though- this article is more about myspace itself, and when it comes to controversies, its more about security issues and page layouts.

thread_title:  Technical Issues 

message: I have a lot of questions here.  You only have to answer a single question at at time if you want to, I don't care about having them all filled out all at once.  Please, only answer if you have a serious direct answer to my question, and you're knowledgeable on the subject.  Everyone hates a "you should have asked this here..." type responses! lol.  Anyways, thanks for all of your help, the best people around are those that help with questions in a very informing and knowledgeable kind way, no matter how the question may sound.  Thanks for your time.
I was wondering, with a website as popular as Myspace.com (fourth in the world I think, for a while, fluctuating up and down of course, but an average), anyways, like I was saying, with a website as popular as Myspace.com, I was wondering:
* How rich is Tom Anderson?
** Answer - 
* Do you have a $Dollar$ Value?
** Answer - 
** Or if not, do you have a close estimate?
*** Answer - 
* Do you have a timeline of his wealth since the site was created? (in 2003 I believe)
** eg. like this: 
2003
April: $60,000  
May: made $20,000 last month; $80,000  
June: Notes: Made advertising deal with Virgin.com for a contract of $60,000 per month for top-banner ads for 6 months, payments will start next month
made $20,000 on other advertising deals last month; $100,000(this last one is always net worth)
July: Notes: Virgin.com advertising deal commences
made $80,000 including $60,000 monthly Virgin.com contract; $180,000
August: made $80,000; $260,000
September: made $80,000; $340,000
October: made $100,000; $440,000
November: Notes: New deal negociated with music company, new-friend added feature for advertising music names will draw in an extra $50,000 per month
made $100,000; $550,000
December: Notes: music company deal starts this month
made $150,000; $700,000
2003 ended: $800,000 made total from Myspace.com for Tom Anderson
2004
January: made $150,000; $850,000
...and so on!  This would be a perfect way to visually see and reference the progression of Tom Anderson's wealth.  I heard he brings in millions in advertising on Myspace, and after paying for bandwidth, the salaries of 300 employees, and for the servers/computers/any other computer equipment needed, I'm sure Tom Anderson still makes a pretty penny.  So I was just wondering how rich he has become, and how fast his rise to fame (richness) has been.  Thanks so much for your help!
Oh, and one more question.  I'm currently learning (X)HTML, C#, Java, Javascript, and PHP to learn how to make web pages like eBay and Myspace.  But I've seen so many other people so knowledgeable in this area (website programming on eBay quality) out on the internet, giving advice, and even on wikipedia itself.  And I was wondering, if somebody like Tom Anderson can become so rich so quickly creating Myspace.com, why aren't there so many more rich millionaires out there like him from people who have made web pages?, like the guys here on wikipedia who know everything in and out of PHP for example?
* Answer - 
Why don't they just go out and create a webpage that will start to generate millions of dollars?
* Answer - 
And if one idea doesn't work, why don't they just continue on with a bunch of ideas, perhaps all at once, until they hit an idea that starts to make millions?
* Answer - 
Also, one last question! (Thanks for your time!, some ppl are just dicks when it comes to giving a straight f-ing answer, but thanks for the people who are actually giving good answers from their time, you're really helping me get my foot in the door for some of the questions I always have).  Anyways, my last question, if I wanted to create a website like Myspace.com right now, let's say in the next month or few months or something, what would I need/need to do to do so?  (Just wondering, I'm not actually going to create another Myspace!).
* Answer - 
(eg. 1. come up with an idea, 2. start programming the website, 3. start testing the idea, 4. invent $1000 in a simple Dell desktop server, 5. Register a .com domain name, 6. set the DNS server to direct the ip address of the domain name to the ip address of your Dell desktop server, 7. set up your website on your desktop server, 8. when there are enough hits per day on your website, start making some advertising deals for profit, 9. use ad money to buy a better server like "this type" from "this site" and set it up like they say on "this web site" 10. pay for bandwidth with ad money, 11. start setting up more advertising deals, "this site" might help!, 12..., thanks so much!)
Would I have to just register a domain name like Yourspace.com from some internet service to be listed under a DNS server?  Perhaps link it to a cheap $1200 Dell desktop server ip address that I have sitting on my home desk.  Then set up my website on there?  Or perhaps not even buy a server myself, but set up my website on some other server on the internet that the DNS servers will link my webpage Yourspace.com to.  Then as I start getting more visitors, set up an advertising deal(s) with some companies.  Then as advertisers are paying me as I'm getting more visitors, and I'm getting tight on harddrive space and server bandwidth, use my advertising revenue to buy my own server/hard drives, then set up like a Microsoft Xenox server to host my website from now on, then use the rest of the money to start paying for bandwidth costs of having so many people visit my website.  Then from there on use the same sort of strategy to host my website and get it going?
* Answer (and comments!) - 
Would I be able to just register a domain name like Yourspace.com for $200 a year or so or whatever it costs, then upload my website to whatever server might be hosting my site, then make deals with advertisers to get my site going and eventually get my own server(s)?
* Answer (and comments!) - 
Or is there something else I'd have to do to start up a Yourspace.com instead of just registering a domain name, then start getting visitors and set up advertising for revenue?
* Answer (and comments) - 
Can you get revenue from advertising on your own website when you register the domain name for like $200 from one of those registration sites?  Or is there some reason that you couldn't get revenue from your own website (though I don't see why not, as you're just paying for DNS server action, nothing else!)
* Answer - 
How many people for a Yourspace.com type website could one of those $1200 or $4000 dollar Dell desktop servers host, let's say daily or at a time?
* Answer - 
How much bandwidth could it handle?
* Answer - 
(eg. 500mb in/out at any time)
Would I have to buy an expensive Xenox-type server initially for my own Yourspace.com website to set it up with advertising?  Or could I just register a domain name like Yourspace.com and host it on some online server.  Then get revenue from advertising and then eventually buy my own Xenon-type server?
* Answer (and comments!) - 
Thanks SO MUCH for all of your help and questions.  This means a lot to me to get help from people that know what they're talking about, and to answer questions that are blank spots to me.-TAz69x 14:49, 2 August 2006 (UTC)

He is by definition not the average account-holder (unless all hundred million are also co-founders which they quite clearly are not), and his account is therefore not average either.  I think that's the point being made.  Anyhow, in this context, the word is not "average" (which implies statistical analysis, and finding an exemplar of the outcome) but "typical".  It still requires a source reference which describes the common user, then an account which fits the stated criteria.  Tom Anderson's is no more typical than it is average.  Add to that you also have to have the permission of the account holder whose account you use as your example.  Cain Mosni 17:51, 28 August 2006 (UTC)

This is due to the userbase who are mainly high school-age teenagers, whilst a website like Facebook caters mostly to college-age teenagers and young adults.'

thread_title:  Chain Bulletins 

message: I added a section about bulletins. There's no doubt it deserves it's own section. There were 3 other other sections I'm suggesting could be included in the article:
* MySpace Groups
* MySpace Search Engine
* Internal E-mail System
However, I'm also thinking that the article is long enough as it is and that those new sections that I propose (but not fully support) might not be important enough to place in an an encyclopedia article.
Any feedback?

thread_title:  Dave Itzkof 

message: - 	Dave Itzkoff, in the June 2006 issue of Playboy magazine, related his experiences experimenting with membership in MySpace. Among his criticisms are that the distance afforded by the Internet emboldens members, such as females who feature photos of themselves in little clothing on their profile pages, to behave in ways that they would not behave in person, and that this duplicity undercuts the central philosophy of MySpace, which is to bring people together. Itzkoff also references the addictive, time-consuming nature of the website, mentioning that Playboy Playmate and MySpace member Julie McCullough, who was the first to respond to his Add request, refers to the website as "cybercrack". Itzkoff claims that MySpace gives many people access to a member’s life, without giving the time needed to maintain such relationships, and that such relationships do not possess the depth of in-person relationships. 	 
- 		 
- 	Itzkoff is particularly critical of the disturbing and fraudulent behaviour of people who can contact a member, unsolicited, as when he was contacted by someone expressing a desire to socialize and date, but whose blog (to which Itzkoff was directed via subsequent emails) turned out to be a solicitation for a series of commercial porn sites. Itzkoff is also critical of more subtle commercial solicitations on the site, such as the banner ads and links to profiles and video clips that turn out to be commercials for new 20th Century Fox films. Itzkoff also observes that MySpace’s much-celebrated music section is heavily weighted in favor of record labels rather than breakthrough musicians. 	 
- 		 
- 	Itzkoff also related criticism from another person he calls "Judas", who asserts that while the goal of attempting to bring together people who might not otherwise associate with one another in real life may seem honorable, it violates a social contract that exists when people interact in person, which render MySpace nothing more than a passing fad: 	 
- 		 
- 	:"There will come a moment when, like deer quivering and flicking up their ears toward a noiseless noise in the woods, the first adopters will suddenly realize they’re spending their time blogging and adding and gawking at the same alarming photos an army of 14-year olds are and, quick as deer, they’ll dash to the next trend. And before you know it, we’ll all follow.”

message: First off, I'm okay with the use of The Plain Dealer; it's a decently written article. I'm a bit skeptical on the inclusion of this as it may be adding WP:UNDUE weight to the issue, but I was able to find two more articles: one on the  Seattle PI, and one on SC magazine. I think both of those links should be included without greatly expanding or altering the text in the current section. With regard to the magnitude of this event, it doesn't seem any larger or smaller than the rest of the claims in the Criticism section. The sections on stalking and censorship are each one sentence with one source. Considerably more was written about religious discrimination, so I think it's okay.

message: Footnotes 8, 9, 10 are from a propaganda site that Brad Greenspan posted for purposes of suing Fox Interactive Media and Intermix Media (f/k/a eUniverse), and reflect a viewpoint that is far from neutral.  It's true that Greenspan was CEO of eUniverse (which changed its name to Intermix Media -- that should be reflected in the article) in 2003 when the MySpace team first began developing the site, but he was fired by the Board of Directors and replaced by Richard Rosenblatt, whose name inexplicably doesn't appear in the article, within a few months.  There was a bitter proxy contest for control of the company, which is chronicled in public filings with the SEC, and Greenspan lost.  The period of hypergrowth at MySpace began in 2004, under Rosenblatt's watch, such that by mid-2005, Rupert Murdoch showed up and offered to buy the company.
Greenspan deserves some credit for green-lighting the MySpace project at inception, but his ouster should be noted, and Rosenblatt should be given some credit as CEO of Intermix from 2004-06 when MySpace truly exploded on the scene and became the most popular site on the Internet in record-breaking time.  As one who worked there at the time, I can say that the smartest thing he did was to stay out of the way and give Chris Dewolfe and his team the resources they needed to sustain the site's incredible growth as  it went from 2 million users in 2004 to something like 100 million in 2006.

message: Music player not coming up when you view other profiles on Myspace.
28Feb2009
So, tonight I think I have solved a problem that has come up time & time again, regarding music players not coming up when you view other people’s profiles on Myspace, such as bands etc for example.
In the last 3 days, I updated my "Adobe Flash Player" to the current version 10. As I was there, I played around with the settings manager a little. At the time, "Allowing third party content" sounded a bit nasty, so I disabled it ! So, yesterday & today, I noticed that when I viewed other people’s profiles, eg, bands etc, that their music players would not come up. After talking to a friend & reading some bloggs on the internet, I went back to the settings manager of "Adobe Flash Player" & ticked to, "Allow Third Party Content". Hey Presto...that did the trick!!! Hope this helps:)  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 82.45.199.142 (talk) 01:36, 28 February 2009 (UTC)

There's good information here but some of it is structured/written to make MySpace sound like the greatest thing since sliced bread.

message: I think that the new book "Stealing MySpace: The Battle to Control the Most Popular Website in America" by Julia Angwin should be added to the further reading section.  But I can't edit this page to do it myself.
It was published in March 2009 by Random House.  Angwin is Technology Editor at the Wall St. Journal.
