Created by Chris DeWolfe and Tom Anderson, the News Corporation, MySpace began as a site of interaction between people who registered to create a profile enable them to meet people, much like Friendster or Hi5, but the word of mouth has propelled the overall success of over 230,000 users per day and a total of 106 million users in 2006. MySpace
, provides a space where users create a profile that describes you, fully customizable HTML, but at the same time, the phenomenon has led many firms to create pages que se encargan de generar los códigos para los fondos y muchas otras aplicaciones, entre ellas reproductores de música, textos dinámicos con movimiento, imágenes en 3D y mapas de visitas que permiten por medio de satélite conocer el lugar exacto de donde se produjo la visita.
El perfil está conformado por aficiones, permite subir fotografías, música, información general acerca del lugar de residencia, edad y sexo, además ingresos por mes, religión y preferencias sexuales. A su vez, permite a los usuarios interactuar con sus contactos, enviar peticiones de amigos, enviar boletines, pertenecer a un grupo según los intereses que tenga el usuario, publicar videos, mensajería instantánea messenger type, among many other services.
has a beta version in English for Latin American countries, plus a group of 300 employees who keep maintaining the site.
In its new phase, MySpace has expanded its site into different languages, and create a new version for musicians, comedians and filmmakers, allowing them to upload their compositions and videos as well as interact with their fans.
William Delgado, MySpace user thinks that this space is something done for the unemployed, but unfortunately like all things made for the unemployed is 'sticky', there are also things which rescue because you really can meet interesting people. "Kelin
González, in turn, confirms what was said by William:" I think that MySpace, with a virtual contact tool is very good. Can expand your relationships, meet interesting people that are affinity without physically meet, only sharing the tastes and interests. It is equally important, the way in which to develop self-expression, giving you the opportunity to personalize your space as you fancy and endless possibilities "
Complaints about MySpace not long in coming, and has been reports about cases of rape, as of less than 15 years in Texas-by contacts through the site, as well as conflicts over legal problems when they sign contracts with clauses that promote respect for copyright and that people do not comply, then do not read the terms of contracts.
Despite the criticisms and problems with the website, the people are entitled, in Colombia, the increase in users is growing exponentially and its rise will not stop. Today is one of the most visited sites with Yahoo! , MSN, Google and YouTube.
Personally, although I have an account, I think that MySpace provides a service that only promotes leisure users. Addictive and does not allow to the human being is a whole (soul and body), is superficial and frivolous in some cases. But, in turn, allows us to live globalization through new media. Unfortunately
is a system that does not give much importance to user content, and that blogs are of poor quality and people often do not use, because it has become a tool to socialize and have small talk. The importance of these spaces depends on users, sadly and unfortunately for us, the ugly, raw image currently more than a million arguments and minds with much to say.
