Myspace : My Age?

We've all been around long enough to know that we all want to conceal our age as much as possible. Well sometimes white lies gets out of control. Most of us, it doesnt really matter, the problem is though, when you have people who are involved in youth lying about their age when problems arise. "tom" from Myspace fame, should have known better. Perhaps he wasnt to know how it was going to pan out, however Myspace has been online now since before 2004, when it ballooned in the states and in 2005 in Europe, It is now Oct 2007, and nearly 4 years later it arises he lied about his age, not even by his own admission, rather by creative investigative journalism . Well i'm sorry, its just not good enough.

MySpace co-founder busted for faking age
By ASHER MOSES and STEPHEN HUTCHEON - SMH | Wednesday, 31 October 2007

The thirtysomething millionaire who co-founded the popular social networking site MySpace has been outed as an age-faker.

Newsweek magazine reports that Tom Anderson was lying about his age since launching the site in 2003.

Anderson's MySpace profile lists his age as 32. But according to Newsweek, he will in fact turn 37 next week.

And that would have made him a 32-year-old when the site launched, not a 27-year-old wunderkind.

The magazine obtained driving licence information, voter registration and telephone service applications which showed Anderson's birthday as November 8, 1970.

Anderson and co-founder Chris Dewolfe sold MySpace to Rupert Murdoch for $US580 million ($630 million) in 2005 and the pair continue to work for News Corporation. Earlier this month they were reported to have signed a new two-year deal that would see them each earn $US15 million.
