Technology: Myspace.com
By: Nathan Estes

Currently the most popular website of students at Hillside High School is MySpace.com. Originally founded as a wholly owned subsidiary of InterMix Media, Inc. (previously known as eUniverse, Inc.), a site for businesses, MySpace.com was spun into a separate entity in 2003 for use by the general public. The person mostly responsible for the advertisement of the site is Tom Anderson. Within months of it's use for the public, the site's popularity exploded. The best description for Myspace is a place to interact with other people, sharing files, pictures and thoughts. As of Dec. 05 there are 45 million accounts.

The sites popularity is based on the exciting features such as customizing your page and easy access to your account. Also the ability to see who else is online not only on Myspace but on AOL, Yahoo and MSN is really cool. The site is one of the best ways to keep current on what is happening around the world.

They are given to the District Office, each grade school and high school. This year, with so many talented students, no wonder they couldn't pick one first place winner. Christina Hebert, Jorge Rodriguez, and Andrew Juarez were the deserving three to place first, while Jennifer Javan, Benny Maltos, Stephanie Stegemann, and Juan Mora placed second, third, fourth and fifth. Way to go guys, and Happy New Year. Images scanned by George Tuosto
