Myspace, the OG of social networking sites, is definitely still around. It's not what it used to be, but it's still active and looking for users.
What Killed MySpace? (It Wasn't Facebook)
The site has had its fair share of rough times over the years, but believe it or not, many people still use it as one of their primary social networks. Here’s a quick look at how Myspace started, when it began to decline, and how it’s trying to come back.
Myspace launched in 2003. Friendster inspired the founders of Myspace, and the social network officially went live on the web in January 2004. After its first month online, more than a million people had signed up. By November 2004, that number had grown to 5 million.
In 2006, Myspace surpassed Google Search and Yahoo! Mail, becoming the most visited website in the United States. By June of that year, Myspace was reportedly responsible for nearly 80 percent of all social media traffic.
