MySpace Users Turn on Founder
It's generally pretty easy to pick out the newbies on MySpace; they're the ones with Tom's grinning mug smiling from the top of their list of friends. After a few weeks or months most opt out of friendship with Tom, who is actually Tom Anderson, the creator of the site. However, a new site is calling for a wholesale ditch of Tom from friends lists. The location is DropTom.com, and the message is simple: "Let's find a new face for MySpace."The site is basically a popularity contest to see who can get nominated to replace Tom as the default friend on the site. Once you enter the contest, your popularity is rated in points and, should you win, you'll find yourself $1,000 richer. The idea is that the winner of this contest will be adopted by MySpace to become the new default friend for new members, but given there's no real affiliation between this contest and the social networking site itself, that all seems a bit optimistic to us.
