Myspace

Myspace was, for three years, the largest social networking site on the planet. From 2005 to 2008 Myspace took over the internet and helped pioneer the social media movement the we live in today.

Myspace originated as just a profile-based social media that allowed people to express themselves through how the would personalize their profile and interact with other people around the globe.

Myspace has changed a lot since its beginning. It was sold to Justin Timberlake how had an idea on how to change it and bring Myspace back to life. Timberlake decided to change it into a music-based social media.

The new Myspace allows people to discover new music with ease and still be able to have a personal profile and keep in contact with friends who are still on the website.

Social media is growing every single day and though Myspace is struggling to survive nowadays, the once dominant website still has its perks.

Chicken Truck Crash Leads to an Inconvenient Pile-Up 

 Monday at 6 p.m., an accident involving a semi-truck transporting chickens caused an 11-car pileup at the corner of McFarland and 15th St.

Sergeant John Jones says the crash occurred as a result from Jeff Johnson, a driver out of Alberta City, making an illegal left turn.  Twenty-five people were involved in the accident and police say as many as 300 suffered.

Twenty-three people involved with the accident walked away with only bruises. The truck driver and one other driver have been hospitalized, but are in good condition. Johnson, who was the semi-truck driver, has bruising and a possible broken ankle and the other hospitalized person has a slight concussion but in good condition.

Jones says, “It was the biggest pile-up I’ve ever seen. Lots and lots of smashed bumpers but the worst part was the screams of the chickens. Those things sure do make a lotta noise, you know.”

Police say the 12 cars involved have minor damage. At least 30 chickens are dead; Jones commented about the hefty amount of smashed eggs, “It was so hot out there I thought we might have fried eggs for dinner.” However, 40 chickens seen as very valuable and insured for $10 each remain missing.


A chicken company executive, pres. Carlton Fitzsimmons, asks that if chickens are found they be returned to Alabama Poultry, Inc. These chickens are considered very valuable as they supply eggs to IGA stores across the south. According to Fitzsimmons the dead and missing chickens are worth over $700.
