NEW YORK (CNNMoney.com) — MySpace said Tuesday that it is laying off 500 employees, cutting its staff by 47%.

“Today’s tough but necessary changes were taken in order to provide the company with a clear path for sustained growth and profitability,” CEO Mike Jones said in a written statement. “These changes were purely driven by issues related to our legacy business, and in no way reflect the performance of the new product.”
