MySpace was an early social media website that quickly became popular before slowly losing market shares to more nimble approaches by the likes of Facebook. Many early media studies were about the ideas of how identity and social profiles were used on the platform. To get a sense of the literature that predates studies on Twitter, YouTube, Reddit, or Facebook it is helpful to examine what the topics of interest were.
