MySpace.com used to be FreeDiskSpace.com back in the day.

| quote: | "At the genesis of the online storage space, sites like FreeDiskSpace.com began as virtual lockers, where individual users stashed their files," said Ricky Aaron, CEO (1) (Chief Executive Officer) The highest individual in command of an organization. Typically the president of the company, the CEO reports to the Chairman of the Board of MySpace.com. "Now we are seeing a shift away from that model. This change reflects an evolution from the more 'techie' nature of the early adopters in the world of virtual storage (where the language focused on folders, files, uploads and downloads) to a broader market appeal fostering the management of online information. We want our name to reflect the evolving nature of the company -- thus, MySpace.com"
The company's success with 300MB virtual hard drives has resulted in a stunning number of new users. In less than five months, the company has registered more than one million users who now extend their desktop computing to the Internet with their own virtual hard drives. As the company continues to aggressively define a seamless desktop to Internet and Internet to desktop interaction, it provides a more personal experience for each user. The MySpace name represents this dramatic change in how everyday users expect their computer experience to meet their personal needs, with the Internet as an integral part of personal computing rather than a distinct environment. |
This was where I first stored TA MP3s for download since I got 5MB increase in quota for every 'email' (non-verified) I referred to them. I had 50+ gigabytes of space -- back in 2000 to have 10+ gigs of storage and unmetered bandwidth (for free) was unheard of.
I think only a handful of you are left that were around back then, lol
