Myspace was founded in 2003 and was acquired by News Corporation in July 2005 for $580 million. From 2005 until early 2008, Myspace was the most visited social networking site in the world, and in June 2006 surpassed Google as the most visited website in the United States. In April 2008, Myspace was overtaken by Facebook in the number of unique worldwide visitors, and was surpassed in the number of unique U.S. visitors in May 2009. Since then, the number of Myspace users has declined steadily in spite of several redesigns. As of December 2011^[update], Myspace was ranked 138th by total web traffic.

In June 2009, Myspace employed approximately 1,600 workers. Since then the company has undergone several rounds of layoffs and by June 2011, Myspace had reduced its staff to around 200.

Don Omar (born William Omar Landrón Rivera; February 10, 1978 ), a Puerto Rican reggaeton singer-rapper and actor. He is sometimes referred to by his nickname El Rey (Spanish: "The King").

William Omar Landrón Rivera is the oldest son of William Landrón and Luz Antonia Rivera. He was raised in Santurce, a barrio in the Villa Palmeras area of San Juan, Puerto Rico. From an early age, he showed interest in the music of Vico C and Brewley MC.^{[citation needed]} During his youth, he became an active member of a Protestant church, Iglesia Evangélica Restauración en Cristo in Bayamón where he occasionally offered sermons. However, after four years, he left the church to dedicate himself to singing.

His first public performance in a night club was accompanied by disc jockey Eliel Lind Osorio. Afterwards he appeared regularly on compilation albums from popular DJs and producers including Luny Tunes, Noriega, and DJ Eric. He also worked as a backup singer for the duo Héctor & Tito. One of the members, Héctor Delgado, helped him produce his first solo album.

Thomas "Tom" Anderson (born November 8, 1970) is an American internet entrepreneur. He co-founded the social networking website Myspace in 2003 with Chris DeWolfe, and was later president of Myspace and a strategic adviser for the company until he left in 2009. Because newly-created Myspace accounts initially included Tom as a default "friend", his face became known as the default picture of Myspace, and he is often referred to as "Tom from Myspace" or "Myspace Tom".

Anderson was a product tester and copywriter at XDrive, a digital storage company in 2000, where he met Chris DeWolfe. He initially joined XDrive as a product tester after answering a flyer advert while still at film school and looking to earn extra money. When XDrive went bankrupt in 2001, he and DeWolfe founded direct marketing company ResponseBase. They sold ResponseBase to Brad Greenspan's eUniverse in late 2002.

With other eUniverse employees, Anderson set up the first pages of Myspace in August 2003. He founded the site partly as a reaction to Friendster and that social network's policy of blocking accounts not using real names. An early success was persuading Tila Tequila to switch from Friendster to Myspace in September 2003. Anderson was in charge of product development. Myspace became one of the most popular social networking websites in the United States (listing in slot no. 129 of Alexa Top 500 Global Sites as of November 2011^[update]).Fortune reported in 2006 that "Anderson is automatically the first friend of anyone who joins MySpace, and as the public face of the operation, he's photographed with celebrities at company bashes, approached for autographs on the street, and deluged with e-mails from users." Journalist Julia Angwin, author of Stealing MySpace, wrote that "I think Tom is sort of the soul of the site". In September 2008, he had 237,991,950 "friends".
