People talking about Myspace are asking what happened to Tom.<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Tom from Myspace was one of the original social media greats, dominating the game as early as 2003.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It existed before Facebook and Twitter, and it appears that individuals still hold a flame for the social network.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But others have begun to remember and wonder what happened to founder Tom Anderson.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Myspace became the world’s sixth most visited website in 2005, and it’s frightening to think how much the landscape has evolved since then.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Tom sold his network to News Corporation for $580 million, which also controls Fox News and the Wall Street Journal.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

He served as Myspace’s president for a few years before retiring in 2009 when the company’s new owners fired him.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This was conveniently timed to coincide with Facebook’s meteoric rise in popularity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

However, it appears that karma came back to bite the corporation, since News Corporation suffered a significant loss when they sold Myspace for $35 million in 2011.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And that was indeed the end of it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

So, what has the original founder been up to over the years?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It appears that he began investing in property before traveling with a camera and becoming a travel photographer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I’d probably do the same thing if I had enough money to last forever.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But it appears that Tom did not completely abandon the realm of social media, since he was an advisor to a firm that created a Facebook application.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

He currently has a presence on all major social media platforms, including Instagram and X (previously Twitter).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Despite his massive following, he’ll never have the 250 million friends he had on Myspace back then.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

One individual commented on TikTok, “He was my first friend on Myspace hahaha.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Another said, “I’m not sure how Myspace died off.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“It was way better than Facebook!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“My page was LIT lol.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Another said, “Myspace taught a lot of us early 2000’s nerds to code with HTML and design webpages.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Another person concurred, stating: “Myspace actually taught kids about HTML and how to cut\/paste the code to customize their account appearance.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

One person admired Tom’s path after his career as a founder, adding, “That’s what I’d do if I had that money.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“Just buy houses and travel.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n
