"There (was) nothing more vital to our digital upbringing than Myspace."
We introduce ourselves and the purpose of this podcast (nostalgia and posterity) before diving into the first viral social media platform the world had ever seen: Myspace, a place for friends. We go through Myspace's history, from its creation in August 2003 to Facebook overtaking it in 2009; how it first taught us to navigate the internet and social currency in the 2000s; and internet security measures (that we learned the hard way) that have become ingrained into our daily lives.
