Newsweek Confirms MySpace CoFounder Lied About Age

Michael Arrington

98 comments »

Newsweek has confirmed our story that MySpace cofounder Tom Anderson, who automatically becomes everyone’s first friend when they register for the site, has lied about his age. Newsweek based their confirmation on “professional license information, voter registration and utility and telephone service applications” (our story was based on a statement by a MySpace executive).

When MySpace was founded in 2003, Anderson claimed to be 27 years old. At the time he was actually 32. Today he claims to be 32, when in reality he celebrates his 37th birthday next week, on November 8. Anderson’s Wikipedia page has been updated to note the controversy. His MySpace page, for now, continues to perpetuate the fiction.

I don’t think anything about News Corp or MySpace is honest. Seems fitting. Maybe they had to adjust some numbers to make things more “balanced.”

my thoughts on this post is “so what?”…. this seems to be more of juicy gossip that one worthy of Techcrunch. #2 is right — this seems better for perezhilton.

I read the first story you did on this… I still have the same question - what’s your point? Is it that everything on MySpace is or can be a lie? Or is there some SEC violation, or that this guy is untrustworthy?

I am not sure why this story is so popular. Seems like most myspace profiles have false ages. Mine does
Michael Arrington

October 29th, 2007 at 10:55 am

Jason - well, first its more than just a simple lie. It’s a lie that is perpetuated and amplified by the fact that Tom is everyone’s first friend, from 13 year old girls on up. And there is significant irony: if you can’t believe what you see in the founder’s profile, then you really can’t believe anything you see on the site. I think most people understand how easy it is to make things up on the Internet, but perhaps this story will make people understand just how prevalent that practice is.

This is Murdoch, remember, not some tiny Silicon Valley startup - they’re a media company, and as such most of what they do will be under a heavy PR smokescreen. They’re not your friends, were apparently pretty much a spyware company before they founded the website, and I’m certain there must be juicier stories on them than this. D’you suppose they look at protected profiles, Facebook-style?

Mike, I don’t think this story does anything to “make people understand just how prevalent that practice is.” Tom Anderson’s body of work overshadows this so much it’s silly.

Now, this is getting more exciting. Anyway, for as long as he didn’t promise all those girls, women and grandmas marriage, that would be fine. Who knows in reality, he’s really a septuagenarian.

Isn’t it amazing that a 30-something year old would think he was too old?

We have to shake this fear where those of us in our 30s feel like we’re not in the target demo and therefore can’t design products for the masses.

We all know plenty of 30-somethings that live and buy and socialize like 20-somethings…with deeper pockets…and quite a few of them have rocking minds for designing products.
Velioncho

October 29th, 2007 at 11:32 am

I thought TC learns from mistakes, and thought comments on the origirnal artcile showed people really donot care about his ageand thought that was the end of the discussion on this issue on TC.

Apparently that is not the case with TC.

Perhaps somebody should start investigating what all discrepancies/inconsistencies Mike has in his life and/or in his company.
Alec

October 29th, 2007 at 11:32 am

Lame….not that somebody didn’t post their proper age, but that this is considered worthy of TechCrunch’s notice (or NewsWeek’s). Whether it’s to seem a bit more hip to the younger audience or a touch of vanity, it makes no difference.
Do we really need such a trivial example to be used to point out that some folks might be creating personae slightly or radically different from reality?

Is this a beef with MySpace or with the whole concept of the social internet? Yep, people fabricate their identities on-line. What an amazing scoop.

RE: Ben post#1

Founder Anderson’s age shenanigan has been going on since MySpace was founded in 2003. Newscorp bought them in 2005. Thought you could use some facts to help ‘balance’ things out.

Velioncho, reader comments, links and emails certainly impact what we write about. But I still tend to write what I feel is interesting as opposed to taking the path of least resistance. If I stopped doing that this job wouldn’t be much fun anymore. The exit door is a click away - stay if you like, leave if you don’t.

October 29th, 2007 at 12:00 pm

this Tom character is just that, a character. If someone actually does feel like they’ve been lied to, they probably also believe that ‘Tom’ was sitting idle on myspace when he decided to add them as a friend. It doesn’t surprise me that his age was false nor would it surprise me if anything else about him was false.

What I would like to know is just how many people at MySpace/Fox, know about this and thought it was a funny joke or actually believed that it’s real. I am surprised that so many think that this isn’t a big deal. I mean, it’s a guys age, who cares right? Well, why lie about it? Is he that vain or could this be one in a series of lies? This isn’t some nothing employee, it’s a founder of a company and they are held to a higher degree of scrutiny. If he’s comfortable lying about something as insignificant as his age, I wonder what else he’s hiding.

Nope, that is the old way. correction.

“stay if you like, comment if you dont”.

In all fairness, most of the coverage of TC is good and relevant but then you get annoyed by these silly news.
Perhaps having a seperate “juicy” section (CrucheJuice/CrunchGossip/CrunchSillytalk whatever) would enthruz your appetite for silly stories at the same time serious readers do not loose focus.
Marcello

October 29th, 2007 at 12:35 pm

I’d agree that this isn’t earth-shattering news, but it *is* interesting (at least to me). It raises the question of why this dude felt the need to lie about his age. Is there some sort of real or perceived age bias out west? If so, then I’ll make a point not to move there! I’m 39, I live in the midwest USA, and no-one seems to care about age here. You can either get the job done or you can’t. To be honest, my age means that I’ve been able to acquire more experience and develop more skills than most people younger than me. Why would I want to hide that?
johns

October 29th, 2007 at 12:55 pm

@Marcello-Yes there is a lot of age discrimination in IT.

27 seems to young for a CEO, so he upped it to 32 to look more experienced.

Now 39 is in the sweet spot. Not too old, not too young. But just wait until you hit 45. It’s all downhill then and gets worse with each passing year if you are job hunting.
mint question

October 29th, 2007 at 1:01 pm

“if you can’t believe what you see in the founder’s profile, then you really can’t believe anything you see on the site.”

that’s stupid…

and also, he said we was 27 when he was actually 32 not vice versa, so johns’ already flawed logic doesn’t even apply “27 seems to young for a CEO, so he upped it to 32 to look more experienced.”

October 29th, 2007 at 2:30 pm

It’s just a persona. It’s “Tom” from f’ng Myspace. The age discrepancy does not implicate dishonesty on the rest of the site any more than it does on other social networking sites - or any site for that matter.

I’m sure you could find discrepancies on many things Zuckerberg has said - there’s controversy over who founded Facebook, for example.

Snooooooooze.

Arrington, get a clue. How could Tom pick up 22 year old college babes if his profile said he was 30-something? It was an act of brilliant positioning. Now that he’s over the hill, though, he might as well correct it.

steve, my friend, your prognosis is of course…perfectly flawed.

was wittering with my sister just now on things people say / do and the consequences. the chinese have taoism, where life starts in the details. seemingly small details make bigger parts, bigger parts add to segments, and segments comprise up of that which makes up one’s life.

that being said, it’s still rather difficult to be yourself and accepted in any public forum.

Jon

October 29th, 2007 at 6:33 pm

This shows badly on the company that bought myspace to begin with… I would have thought a thorough background search with documentation would be required at some stage during the negotiation process. He lied about his age… so what… find me a woman who doesn’t do the same

I am sure he put the age he “felt” instead of the traditional “chronological” one… much ado about nothing, his bank account still has many more 0s then mine.

If you have problem with his age. Why don’t you set him up and send him NBC ‘To Catch a Predator’. I like to see full nake Anderson sitting on stoll.

Newsachor:
Hello, welcome to Dateline. you must be cofounder Myspace. How are you?

Anderson:
Oh no..
[feeling nervous]
What?!?!
[infamoue gesture ]

Newsachor:
So. Why did you have lied about your age?

Anderson:
I don’t know. I feel lonely. Santa Claus never give me barbie doll.

Newsachor:

[nodding idea out]
Accord to Newsweek. You claimed to be 27 years old when you founded myspace this true?

Anderson:
Yes.

Newsachor:
Why do you have to lied about your age?

Anderson:
So what. Why don’t you arrest Bill Joel. He married 23 year old chick.

Newsachor:
That’s different.

Anderson:
What? He’s 53 years old.

Newsachor:
That’s different.

Anderson:
Oh Fuck it. Who the hell hire you anyways? I like to see your resume?What’s revenue for ‘To Catch a Predator” TV sitcom?

Newsachor:
None of your business.

Anderson:
So.. uhm. are you into MILF

Newsachor:

Anderson:

I don’t understand why it matters that his age is incorrect on his profile. Who cares? 40% of people probably display incorrect age on their profiles. Maybe we should get started after all those women that lie about their age in RL.

It’s not like he and his company adjusted earnings or other financial or statistical numbers. That is worthy news.

If nothing else, this meme proves that blogs possess a huge influence over the more ‘traditional’ sources of info. Congrats Mike, I think your experiment to see if you could get these sites (CNET, Newsweek) to embrace a worthless story has been a complete success. Sadly, it’s this victory that we should all be worried about, not that some guy named Tom is older than he stated in his profile. Your influence in this world may be fleeting, so why not use it to draw out that which matters, not that which banal beyond belief?

Definitely ironic. Of course, further irony exists in the fact that the site is an LA-based venture… does anyone tell the truth about their age (or anything, for that matter) in LA? Maybe they’ll lie about their traffic next. Then they might sue the users who stop using Myspace.

Had I ever advertised on Myspace, I’d probably go back for a refund on the principle that their demographics are all lies… if the founder isn’t honest on his profile, please try to convince me that his legion of followers don’t find reporting one’s age correctly as trivial as he did.
Tsarin

October 30th, 2007 at 5:24 pm

In the USA, the value of Truth still seems rather low. What an unhealthy society where the founder of a multi hundreds-of-millions of dollar company blatnatly lies in public and most people don’t care.

That place only happens when people are scared and they value money over all else. This is a person revered because he’s taken a bunch of money from others. So sick.

It’s gotten to the point where almost everyone in power lies now, at least in the USA. It is common, accepted, almost expected. It has started from the top, from CEOs, the president, clergy, creationist teachers, all over.

It was impossible. No way to enter Do you believe that ? The guys managing this video sharing site DID NOT KNOW that the cinema was invented before 1900

All good points, realistically “Tom” is merely a character for branding on myspace. He is the average guy that works to market the social network. His real age is irrelevant, just as the reality that he isn’t the one sending you messages from his profile.

It is interesting that this is such a point of contention, I agree with sodapop and the others; age on myspace is irrelevant.

TO THE PERSON WHO CREATE THIS STORY, PLEASE TELL ME THAT YOU HAVE NEVER LIED ABOUT ANYTHING IN YOUR LIFE. STOP BASHING TOM, ITS NOT LIKE ANYONE IS DATING HIM.. ARE YOU GUYS SERIOUS WITH THIS STUPID ASS STORY.

AND FURTHER MORE I LIE ABOUT MY AGE ALL THE TIME, BECAUSE I AM TIRED OF PEOPLE TELLING ME IM OLD..
SO IF TOM LIED ABOUT HIS AGE IN 2003 WHO PURELY GIVES A DAMN. HE WAS AN ADULT THEN AND HE IS AN ADULT NOW.

GET YOUR OWN FREAKEN LIFE YOU COMMENTAL BASTARD
