    How about the Grim Reaper because Imeem and Twitter are killing MySpace, lol.

    Ashton Kutcher???

    Brent Spiner or Ryan Reynolds

    LOL @ Mark Zuckerburg!!!

    They should make everyone be default friends with Rupert Murdoch so they can see who they are REALLY dealing with, just my opinion.
  • Kristy · 7 months ago
    I think Rupert Murdoch is a great idea.

    I think Nick Nolte should greet all new myspace friends....you know .. the classic mugshot Nick Nolte! :) or if that doesn't work I'm giving myspace permission to use me...www.myspace.com/jaredspoonmore

    what about Mr. Bush?

    It could possibly be used as a way for Promotion for a specific Brand that could be exchanged everyday but that probably isn't very likely to happen. I feel that a similar structure to how Twitter operates would be suitable, recommending the most popular people - heck - Twitter's recommendation delivered me to this website.

    I think MySpace would have more revenue if every user started with a base of friends sponsored by corporations - for example, Pepsi and Taco Bell could buy a certain number of new users.

    Yes, it could lead to their life being spared!

    Honestly, default friend Tom was the downfall of MySpace (that allowing stupid people do stupid things to their profiles) because everyone was in everyone else's extended network, ugh.
  • bmblack34 · 7 months ago
    Correction: *hundreds of millions of friends. You still like under-estimating one of the largest social networks in the world :)
  • trinest · 7 months ago
    They should close down. Seriously.

    Either that or make some cartoon character- like Ask Jeaves.
  • Bruce Christian Paul · 7 months ago
    Frankly, I would suggest someone more appealing... Possibly selected in the process of getting your personal information. I seem to remember when they did the survey for the book _Sex in America_, they found people were comfortable accross the board with middle-age white women.
  • okinawa · 7 months ago
    I didn't think he was a real person...
  • KK · 7 months ago
    How about a photo of Tom's middle finger?

    I hope that they don't replace him at all. It always annoyed me that Tom was everybody's friend -- it meant that everybody was at most two degrees of separation away.

    I don't know if MySpace measures that anymore, but I was always curious about that when I was looking at a profile. And it was always the same. And it was Tom's fault.

    How about Puppet Tom? The puppet version of Tom!

    Rick Astley. Would be the most epic rickroll ever.
  • Constantine · 7 months ago
    Did you read my Twitter @musicextension and post this Adam? I asked the same question as well.

    I suggested we have Murdoch on there :)

    What do you think?

    This is what happens when well-meaning geeks with a semi-great idea get involved with world-destroying corporate sharks. Hats off, gentlefolk, to Tom and Chris for making a grand attempt at bringing us all together.

    I hope he stays. When I took the time to write him something long & thoughtful, he actually replied. His answers stunned me. They are working on some awesome stuff. What other President of a billion dollar company would interact with his customers? That's amazing if you think about it. I know he cares about the community. I'm sure that's more than you can say for any MBA suit that they'll try to put in there to replace him.

    Hi Tom, You were my first friend when I joined Myspace but I have always wondered why you don't change your picture. Come on Tom, give us some love, show us you care, and change your picture. Still loyal after all these years,

    It's a terrible idea to have everyone share a friend like Tom -- it defeats the purpose of networks of friends like LinkedIn and Facebook use so well.
