The Man Behind MySpace

An anonymous reader writes "The Guardian has an article looking at the life of Chris DeWolfe, a co-founder of the popular MySpace community site. The article details some of his previous work history, and the thought process that went into creating the site." From the article: "They pinched the best bits of everybody else's sites (Craigslist, Evite, MP3.com) and put them together in a manner that made sense. Unconcerned with technological bells and whistles and geeky one-upmanship, they instead set out to appeal to the people they knew and, beyond them, the youth tribes of middle America."

If you're annoyed by personalization like "music, pictures, and other bullshit," there are sites more appropriate to your tastes, like facebook.com. Why would you bother posting a comment to this discussion bitching about myspace? I don't post to facebook discussions bitching about how facebook is bland, characterless, and full of fratboys.
