"Ok - take me to 1 million thread followers. Show me you care and we will talk MySpace," wrote the 55-year-old founder, lovingly known as "MySpace Tom" by fans, on Threads. He also included a throwback-style sparkly image macro that says "thanks for the add!"
The 55-year-old entrepreneur, who was everyone's first friend on the social media platform that originally launched in 2003, only has three posts on his Threads page: two in July 2023 when he first made the account, and this new one.
Amid frustrations with other popular apps like the Meta-operated Instagram and Facebook, and TikTok, which recently had its U.S. arm broken off from its Chinese owner ByteDance, fans recently began inundating Anderson's older posts with requests to revive his nostalgic platform.
Anderson's new post stirred up some serious attention, garnering nearly 15,000 likes and more than 2,000 comments in less than a day. "MILLENNIALSSSSSSSSS ASSEMBLEEEEEEEE!!!" said one commenter, while another added, "If MySpace makes a comeback I’ll delete Instagram and Threads." Another requested that Anderson "rebuild OG MySpace with a timeline-only platform designed for us to just interact with our friends. NO to an algorithm!"
As of publishing this article, Anderson's following stands at nearly 190,000 followers.
