Tom from MySpace is a Liar
 

Seems they got busted lying about Tom's age and people are freaking out about it:

Article on Switched Blog

Someone even updated the guy's Wiki already.

I don't see what all the hubub is about, I thought it was pretty obvious it was BS from the begining. I know that Tom's a real person, &he is / was an employee who worked on myspace, but he never ran the show. Myspace was started by a company that already owned and operated other websites. The whole Tom persona is just a way to give it more of a grass roots backstory for PR that everyone loves.

I do think it's ironic that the "flagship" profile of this site is an adult male lying about his age to be younger who is automatically friended by the site to every minor that joins. Maybe he'll turn up on "To Catch a Predator" :winkwink:

Tom isn't the founder of Myspace???

Haha!

You know.. he does throw off a creepy vibe in this picture.

He was an employee at one time, but the site was developed by the marketing company that owned it. Before it was Intermix it was called EUniverse. They also put out alot of spyware under the EUniverse name.

Here's a good article on it from 05:

The voice of the video sounds like the same guy from that 911 video

Interesting . although brought as a conspiracy thing a-la Micheal Moore style

Wow, good clip :thumbsup

facebook > myspace.

lol I'm surprised most people had no idea and just fell for it.

It's very interesting ...

but I don't give a fuck. I mean ... who cares? :)

Facebook is so good for spam.

What I remember on My Space they used to be a free web space company that offered 300 megs of space back in /00.

Someone who rhymes with "your mom" I think...

i don't see it as that big of a deal. so what if he wants to be 30 instead of 40? not like he's telling 15 year old girls that he's 16. :)

Nuff said ....

who gives a flying fuck anyhow.

myspace is still the best networking site out there if you can keep the adult losers off of there.

i must kill 25 fake profile add requests everyday.

adult internet people always fuck up community sites that should be the real story on myspace, not who created it.

Amen! :thumbsup

Well said

I thought tom was the founder.

Richard Rosenblatt was the man behind myspace and was the man that sold it for 500 million.

i think he is. he doesn't do many interviews, but i was listening to an interview with him on the Adam Corrolla Show and everyone was under the assumption that he created it, owned it and sold most of his interest in it, putting the bulk of the sale price in his pocket. i think the fact that he has done so few interviews and has been so private, prompts this kinda crap. he did say that most of the 500,000,000.00 went into his pocket and he just works there now... so either he told quite a few lies during the interview or people are just morons.
i'm going with the latter.

:2 cents:

This cracked me up :1orglaugh:1orglaugh:1orglaugh

That documentary said that Tom owned 33% of Myspace, so he still made money even if he was not the full owner.

Also, check out this facebook documentary.
