That's according to information in this Fortune magazine article entitled "MySpace Cowboys" about the two men who founded MySpace. Think you know MySpace? Better skim this article to see what they are up to.

I just came across this article found through Library Juice (http://libraryjuicepress.com/blog/?p=131):

The origins of MySpace don't really matter that much because it is now such an unstopable phenomenon, but the article does make me stop and think. If most of Lapinski's origin story is true, it makes me much more uncomfortable about dealing with MySpace. It gives me some second thoughts about creating the account I was thinking of starting.
