Tom Anderson (entrepreneur)

Thomas "Tom" Anderson (born November 8, 1970) is an American entrepreneur. He co-founded the social networking website Myspace in 2003 with Chris DeWolfe, and was later president of Myspace and a strategic adviser for the company. Because newly created Myspace accounts initially included Tom as a default "friend", he has become known as the default picture of Myspace, and often referred to as "Tom from Myspace." In 2003, working for eUniverse under the purview of Brad Greenspan, he and a few other eUniverse employees set up the first pages of Myspace, and the site grew from there. It was one of the most popular social networking websites in the United States (listing in slot no. 85 of Alexa Top 500 Global Sites ).

Anderson had a cameo appearance in the 2009 American drama-comedy film Funny People starring Adam Sandler, Seth Rogen and Leslie Mann.
