the #oscarsgowhite and has taken off. we talked about it earlier. hot on abcnews.com people remembering martin luther king jr. in advance of the holiday on monday. here's another thing that caught our eye this morning, the comeback kid of social media. myspace, yeah apparently it still exists in fact enjoying something of a renaissance, "the wall street journal" reports the site had more than 50 million users in november alone. so why is this happening? one theory is that throwback thursday is sending people back to myspace to find the pictures they posted way back when and when they get there they find the space has aggressively repositioned itself as a go-to place for music fans. it's filled with new videos including this star-studded video for this band and sarah silverman and andy samberg singing along to name a few. this has me inspired and i will aree start my friendster account right after i get off the air. >> you do that. >> i'll see you on there, robin.
