Oh my! I know you know what MySpace.com is. Despite its success in having 90 million visitors, for Dan Tynan of PC World, its the number one in  25 Worst Web Sites by PC World.

The idea: Social networking site aimed at 13 year olds.

Spent: Rupert Murdoch paid $327 million for MySpace in July 2005 (more info).

Highlights: More than 100 million users. Users can add friends, customise their profiles, add comments to profile pages and embed music. Myspace was Voted #1 worst website by PCWorld.

What went wrong? Myspace let users personalise their pages making the majority of profiles look horrific and illegible.
