Myspace wasn't even meant to be a social networking site when it started. When I registered all the domains initially, there were hundreds of variants of "myspace, mylinuxspace, mywindowsspace, mydesktopspace" and such. It was supposed to be the box.com of the time. There was an app you installed and created an "X:" drive. They had a couple HP SureStore arrays.. I forgot how much storage exactly, but they were about 19TB comprised of 9 and 18 GB drives in raid 50 or 51. There was no de-duplication and basically it was the same few hundred megs of music, animated gifs and porn over and over again. They didn't make any money and sold everything to some news company. Even then, it was quite a while before it started to take shape as a social networking site.
