Is that true? I recall myspace creator "tom" being its very public face in the early days, and it only got sold to newscorp after it was already big.

MySpace launched in 2003, News Corporation bought it in 2005.

> Facebook was built for Mark Zuckerberg and MySpace was built for News Corporation.

Wow. That is a huge difference. Kind of like the difference between fact and fiction?

MySpace was built by a bunch of knuckle heads. It was _destroyed_ by News Corporation.
