Stealing MySpace by Julia Angwin

Stealing MySpace by Julia Angwin

This is the story of MySpace, a powerhouse Internet company that rose from humble beginnings to become nothing less than one of the centerpieces of Rupert Murdoch's media empire. No one would have predicted that this company--barely funded, technologically inept, conceptually derivative, and driven by rivalries--would morph into the biggest Internet site in the world. This fascinating and surprising story includes all the elements of a great business narrative: obsessive characters, relentless and unlikely innovation, and dizzying backroom deal-making--all centered around an epic battle for control. Acclaimed journalist Julia Angwin delivers a savvy, smart account reminiscent of Kurt Eichenwald and Barbarians at the Gate.
