MYSPACE OWNERS CONFIRM PLANS TO RELAUNCH ICONIC SOCIAL NETWORK Myspace owners Chris and Tim Vanderhook have confirmed they are planning to relaunch the once-dominant social media platform, more than two decades after it first launched. The pair said they are "waiting for the right time" to bring the platform back, adding that they will keep trying even if the first relaunch attempt does not succeed. The announcement was made in a new documentary about Myspace's history. While no launch date or details have been revealed, the owners believe there is growing demand for a social network that is less focused on algorithms and endless scrolling. Myspace was launched in 2003 and became the world's largest social network before being overtaken by Facebook in the late 2000s. #ThisIsMoney #Money #News #UK
