    who cares! ive been on myspace for 2 yrs, people lie about their age in real life why wouldnt they on the internet. If people believe what people post on the internet then i dont know what to tell you.. but the whole thing comes down to this... Are people going to delete their account cause tom is 5 yrs older than people thought? Most likely NOT... so again.. Who cares!

    PittBullGrip My acual Myspace Name I've Been a member Since Last Christmas and My First Friend was Tom too not knowing why till i i had been there for a little bit.I had join because half of my family and friends are there.I'm 45 and every bit of my info there is real i work in worldwide online security so every chat room i enter i'm warning the kids to stop posting their e-mail addy and phone numbers in main chat because its dangerous there are free pi websites where with just a number you can find their addresses with e-mail and 15 bucks you can find even more.There are some really decent people there and some real azzes too.My hat goes off to Tom and i believe the writer of this bs outting Tom is just jealous that he turned a free website for people to join and have fun into almost 900 million dollars that at any age is a huge accomplishment!! So go Tom The only liars i hate on myspace are the 15 year olds saying they're 100 or 13 saying 87 what they need are monitors in the chatrooms to keep them clean everynite i've seen 40-60 year olds trying to instan message kids if they had admins and opperators working even if for free i'd volunteer my time to help out and know lots more who would also.Myspace is an awesome spot to meet friends and have normal conversations with normal people then you get the keyboard hard guys 22-30 got nothing better to do than pick fights with women and chidren so thats when i step in and draw them to me usually after 10 minutes fighting me they leave.If you check my profile out and read MySpace Haters Read here First i have nothing to hise online all my info is there and if they wanna scrap let them bring it on but if they wanna post their info i'll show them in 30 seconds i'll have all their info and won't hesitate supplying it to the room eitherSo i'll remember to give Tom a happy-bday on the 8th and no matter how old he is or is'nt he's smarter than the reporter who thought it'd be cool to out him in the story but guess by some of the comments you generated here you took the beating not Tom so who's next on you hitlist or will you be writting obituaries now cause your career in this field the chit you just might need to find a new job.I thank you for giving me something to do and i'll be sure to spread this link to as many happy myspacers who'll be glad to give you lots more feedback.Thank You Very Much,PittBullGrip,Donald Costa

    People dying in an oil war in Iraq, wild fires in California, inflation looming, illegal aliens, a real estate crisis, oil nearing $100 a barrel, and you want me to care about somebody fudging about his age?

    This story is non-news. However I am certain that Tom Anderson is sweating so much over his real age being discovered that the almost 300 million in his pocket is starting to get wet. Newsweek, go find a real story.

    Wow, it really must be a slow week if this story is considered news. I'm sure Tom Anderson is sweating the news of his real age getting out so much that the almost 300 million in his pocket is getting wet.

    Who gives ah crap, he's the co-founder! What does age have to do with this? Because of him, young and
    old, teens, adults, whoo-ever, now have a place to go and meet others, communicate, advertise, promote themselves, etc Age is so irrelevant here.......get over it!

    Does newsweek have nothing better to report on? They need to fire a few of these so called reporters then because they obviously have to many with free time. Gimme a break. If I were Tom, I'd still be laughing all the way to the bank and it's nobodies business how old he is. How old is the lunatic with too much free time that wrote this story?

    So what! Should he have lied....no, but tell me there aren't 100 other guys out there heading large corporations who haven't lied for marketing/p.r. reasons! MySpace isn't going away any time soon regardless.

    Oh My You all MisRead what Jessica wrote This is what she Put .....Anderson is five years older than he claims. His online profile currently lists his age as 32, but it appears he was actually born on Nov. 8, 1970, meaning he'll turn 37 next week, not 33. (Happy birthday, Tom!)
    Yeah Tom Happy Birthday

    I agree with lostaluv. As a recent member, my space allowed me to reach out to people with my own interest. Thanks Tom.
