Tom Has Finally Reached His MySpace Friend Limit
MySpace cofounder Tom Anderson supposedly begged to keep his job when the rest of the founding team was shown the door nine months ago. They kept him on, almost as a mascot. He was, after all, the first friend everyone had when signing up to MySpace.
No more, it seems. Tom hasn’t actually signed in to MySpace since January 24, and his last status update was on Christmas day.
But more striking is the fact that Tom is no longer automatically added as a new MySpace user’s first friend. Instead, a couple of days ago, new users were simply given “MySpace Today” as their first friend.
I’m guessing Tom’s days as an employee of MySpace are numbered.
