MySpace, founded in July 2003, is a social networking website offering an interactive, user-submitted network of friends, personal profiles, blogs, groups, photos, music, and videos.
According to Alexa, MySpace is currently the world's fourth most popular English-language website, the sixth most popular website in any language, and the third most popular website in the United States, though it has topped the chart on various weeks.
MySpace reportedly attracts new registrations at a rate of 230,000 per day.
MySpace has gradually gained more popularity than similar websites to achieve nearly 80 percent of visits to online social networking websites.
MySpace's music section has helped many amateur bands progress. One illustrative example is English band Arctic Monkeys, who owe some of their success to the publicity that MySpace generated for them. When asked about the popularity of the band's MySpace website in an interview with Prefix magazine, the band pointed out that they did not even know what MySpace was, and that their page had originally been created by their fans.
