Press Release Summary = In less than two years, \"Myspace.com\" became a symbol that
took the Internet by surprise, hereby helped by music, bands, 35 million registered
members and ... of course very good marketing. What is \"Myspace\" and why is it so
successful?

Press Release Body = What idea is crossing your mind when you are asked about the
most-viewed websites on the Internet? I don\'t know your opinion, but I think in the
first place of Google. Secondly, some other search engines turn up: Yahoo, AOL, ...
There are, of course, also the big commerce sites like eBay, Amazon and dozens of
other popular sites, but here we are only thinking of the \"Big Boys\" aren\'t we?.

Did you ever hear of \"Myspace.com\"? Myspace is becoming the third most viewed
website on the Internet!

Visit http://www.jeepee.biz/myspace to get an idea about how many keywords Myspace
represents on the search engines. What you see there is only 20%. Using them all
would make the website unworkable.

MySpace is a social networking site which refers to itself as a \"lifestyle portal\"
combining user profiles, blogs, instant messaging, user photos, music streaming,
classified ads, groups, community forums, email, and more. MySpace users find other
users with similar interests and lifestyles which can then translate into users\'
\"offline social experience.\"

The site has become so increasingly popular recently that many mainstream music
groups have pages on the site.

Originally founded as a wholly owned subsidiary of InterMix Media, Inc., MySpace.com
was spun into a separate entity in 2003. The person mostly responsible for the
advertisement of the site is Tom Anderson.

Within months, the site\'s popularity exploded and the programmers were hurried to
improve the site as much as possible. In September 2003, MySpace announced the
addition of several improvements. The first group profiles were added, there came a
new look, there came an improvement of the mailbox and, this might be the most
important: the bands started adding friends to the site, and ... you can never have
too many friends, especially of those that create good music, can\'t you?

October 2003 brought new features for the members, they could leave comments on
people\'s profile pictures. An \"Online Now\" status was added in more areas, and the
Mailbox was vastly improved. At this time, users were starting to experiment with
HTML, creating more elaborate profiles that attracted interest. Some users offered
their help so that new and inexperienced users could also learn to customize their
profile.

In today\'s online entertainment market, everyone is awash with Myspace.com fever. 35
million of registered users find each other at the blog meeting point, and the
success of the HTML-generated site is almost unparalleled. But the greatest feature
on the website remains, in alliance with the youth, naturally the music, bands can
sign up and show the Myspace members select tracks off their albums. They can also
blog, and show off their tour dates. Even webmasters are creating special websites
(http://www.jeepee.biz/myspace) to help new members solve their first problems and
answer their questions.

As a sign of its popularity, Myspace has been acquired by Rupert Murdoch\'s News
Corp., but that\'s an other story.
