Thomas Anderson (born November 8, 1970)[1] is an American technology entrepreneur and co-founder of the social networking website Myspace, which he founded in 2003 with Chris DeWolfe.

[6][7] Anderson attended the University of California, Berkeley, majoring in English and rhetoric, prior to becoming the lead singer of a band called Swank.

[5] Anderson then lived in Taiwan after graduation, before returning to the United States to study film at the University of California, Los Angeles.

"[5] Reuters quoted an unnamed News Corp executive as saying: "Tom [Anderson] was responsible for the product, but ended up being a complete bottleneck on getting things done.

"[14] In late May 2012, Anderson announced that he would be joining RocketFrog Interactive as an adviser to the 16-person Los Angeles-based company, which created a Facebook app.

In a September 2014 ABC News interview, Anderson credited friend and photographer Trey Ratcliff for facilitating his skill development and explained: "I'm not necessarily trying to represent nature exactly.

[15] Anderson also explained in September 2014 that his personal interests have always been diverse: If you knew me before Myspace, you'd probably thought I'd have been a scholar teaching philosophy in a university my whole life.
