Myspace, a social networking service, was launched on August 1, 2003. It became the first social network to achieve global popularity and had a significant impact on technology, pop culture, and music.

Myspace was created by Chris DeWolfe and Tom Anderson in Los Angeles, California.

The domain 'MySpace.com' is purchased by DeWolfe and Anderson, transitioning it from a data storage website to a social networking platform.

Rupert Murdoch acquires Myspace for 580 million dollars, becoming the new owner.

MySpace reaches its peak in terms of popularity and user engagement.

On February 5, 2008, MySpace introduced the Developer Platform (MDP) to enable developers to create and share applications on the platform. This move was in response to the growing trend of social network app development.

Myspace introduced new features including a recommendation engine and improved security settings to provide a safer user experience.

In November 2010, Myspace changed its logo to coincide with the new site design, featuring the word 'my' in Helvetica font followed by a space symbol. This change was part of the platform's rebranding efforts.

Myspace was acquired by Specific Media for an undisclosed sum, rumored to be as low as $35 million. This acquisition was considered a significant drop from the $580 million News Corp. paid for Myspace in 2005.

In January 2013, Myspace launched a new visual redesign optimized for tablets. The update aimed to revitalize the platform and improve user experience, although it faced backlash for deleting previous user content.

Time Inc. announced the acquisition of Myspace and its parent company. This marked a new phase in Myspace's ownership.

Meredith Corporation acquired Time Inc., which included Myspace as part of its assets. This acquisition led to further changes in Myspace's ownership.

In a server migration mishap, Myspace lost all user content from its launch until 2015, including over 50 million songs and 12 years' worth of data.

SpaceHey, a MySpace clone created by German web developer Anton Röhm, reached over 200,000 users within a year of its launch. The site is praised for its privacy-friendly features and nostalgic vibes without the use of likes and algorithms.

Myspace is currently in a read-only mode with no new articles being published, disabled media uploads, broken images on the site, and existing songs unable to be played.

Myspace was sold to Specific Media for $35 million in 2024, a significant decrease from the amount News Corp. paid for it in 2005.
