Do we really need another social media platform?

Web users are intrigued by the persistent rumors that a legacy online platform may be coming back to our devices.

We are talking about the potential relaunch of MySpace.

While such a move is expected to unleash a wave of nostalgia, no one expects the company to have an easy time competing in the current cut-throat market.

The owners of MySpace say they are planning to relaunch the social media platform

Euronews reported:

“MySpace, once the most popular social media platform in the world in the mid-2000s, could be returning soon. It comes as many social media users are returning to nostalgic, analog experiences, instead of algorithm-driven ones.

The current owners of the platform, Tim and Chris Vanderhook, who also founded Viant Technology, hinted at the potential relaunch in a documentary titled ‘MySpace’.”

“’We still own MySpace. We are stewards of the MySpace brand at this point and we are going to relaunch MySpace. We’re just waiting for the right time to do it. And if that one doesn’t work, we’ll do it again’, said the Vanderhook brothers in the documentary.

The platform was founded in 2003 by Tom Anderson and Chris DeWolfe, leading to the iconic ‘Tom from MySpace’ profile, which was every new user’s first friend.”
