MySpace Founder Takes To Facebook To Slam MySpace

MySpace founder Tom Anderson has used his Facebook account to badmouth his former website.

Anderson created the social network site in 2003, but parted with the company in 2009.

HappyPlace.com quotes him as writing: "People seem very confused why I'm on Facebook. I've had a profile since 2005 and a "fan page" since 2009. FB just created a feature where you can "subscribe" to profiles. They asked me if I wanted to convert my "page" into a simpler profile. Complicated? I suppose. Why am I not on MySpace? Because, I left the company in early 2009, and like most of you, I don't like using it anymore.. not a fan of what the new folks have done with MySpace."

MySpace was the most popular social network site in the US from 2006 to 2008, until being overtaken by Facebook and then Twitter, although it still claims to have 50 million users.
