One in Four Americans Use MySpace

In other words MySpace boasts 70 million users, according to the latest from comScore.

Back in July of 2005, the social networking site was picked up by Rupert Murdoch's News Corp. for what was considered a hefty $580 million. Now some investors say it was a bargain.
