If you’re wondering which social network had a friend named Tom, the answer is MySpace.
Back in the day, when people signed up for MySpace, they were assigned a friend named Tom, who would appear in their top 8 friend list. Tom Anderson, one of the co-founders of MySpace, was the default friend, whose profile picture featured him smiling and greeting new users. It became a defining feature of MySpace’s early years.
Even after Tom retired and MySpace was acquired by News Corp, new users were still greeted by “T.O.M” – short for “Today on MySpace”.
So, if you were one of those early MySpace users, Tom was probably your first friend on the platform!
And that, my friends, is the story of the infamous Tom from MySpace.
The answer to the question is MySpace.
