Feb 2016

hoping to launch it into some kind of artist/media site. I don't know the chronology after that, but presumable Viant acquired it, and then Time acquired Viant.

Apparently it still pulls in some money, but not what it once did. However, I note that Time did not specifically sent out to buy MySpace itself, but it was one of the assets when it got Viant. No idea if Justin made any money off the deal, or maybe he's still an equity owner. I don't really care, actually. I'm curious to see what Time does with it, if anything.
