Threads are thriving, and Twitter/X is dying. This gave me a flashback, remembering what had happened to MySpace. MySpace was founded on August 1, 2003, by Thomas Anderson, who you know as MySpace Tom. MySpace was a giant and number one social media until Justin Timberlake and Specific Media LLC jointly acquired MySpace for about 35 million dollars. From there, it went downhill FAST; Facebook was founded on February 4, 2004, by Mark Zuckerberg as Thefacebook, then a year later, in 2005, it was changed to simply Facebook, then stole the crown from MySpace as the largest social media a few years later.

Some of you may not know what MySpace is, some of you may know and remember what MySpace were. MySpace is a wholly different now than it was before, as a few years ago MySpace was the king of social media and MySpace is practically the forefather of the social media whether you accept it or deny it. However, Tom Anderson who was CEO of MySpace at that time decided to sell MySpace for several millions of dollars and sold it to by news corp company. That is when MySpace started rumblings to pieces, Facebook immediately dethroned MySpace within’ a few months after MySpace was sold and Facebook has become what we all knows today — The biggest social media of all.…
