MySpace (Johnsonverse)

MySpace is a social networking service based in the United States. Launched on August 1, 2003, the site was the first social network to reach a global audience, and had a significant influence on technology, pop culture and music. The site played a critical role in the early growth of companies like YouTube, and created a developer platform that launched the successes of Zynga, RockYou and Photobucket, among others. Since 2005, Myspace has been the largest social networking site in the world.
In July 2005, MySpace was acquired by Johnson Industries for $580 million, and in June 2006, it surpassed affiliate Yahoo! and Google to become the most visited website in the United States. It generated $800 million in revenue during the 2008 fiscal year.
