The rumors are true. After nearly five years of making and breaking stuff at MySpace, I’ve decided to move on. Tomorrow will be my last day.
The decision to leave had more to do with the new gig than the old; it’s a small start-up where I’ll be leading the product side of things, facing new responsibilities and challenges, and hopefully learning something along the way.
As for MySpace and all my former and soon-to-be-former colleagues, I hope they all succeed fantastically. Partially for their sake, but mostly for my own. It’s tough doing tech in LA; the more any one of us succeeds, the better the chances we all succeed. Or at least get a few million in funding to go chase some crazy idea.
Long LIVE THE PC!
Does the new startup involve having 20 more kids?
Wait!! Did you get drafted to the Miami Heat too?
Where does a smart guy you go??? Google? Another start up???
CJ–it's a start-up for hobos.
Obviously you've been using too much Pearl Cream http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JaD_fvehAaU
I'd like to say y'all decided to leave when I left, but whatever. 😉
Congrats Phil! All good things must come to an end. Have loads of fun in your new role!

Woah. I guess we've got some catching up to do tomorrow…does this mean that I can stop using myspace now? =P

All the best!
Junko, you should still use MySpace. It's good for the local economy.

Phil, I'm going to kick your ass about this local economy MySpace thing unless you email me with some excruciatingly detailed and terribly boring explanations.
