Inside a tiny corrugated iron shell, the air thick with the smell of fried eggs and sausage, Ahmet Yucetan...

Like Friendster, MySpace allotted each user a profile page with pictures and interests and links to friends. It also had a mishmash of features, including horoscopes, games and blogging, then called journals. "We didn't know what it was going to be about," said MySpace staffer Jason Feffer...
