I'm still wondering how prevalent are phrases like "his
myspace", "my myspace", "her myspace", and "their myspace".
Google isn't much help with that wonderment, because
Googling on, for example, "my myspace" gets hits like "my
Myspace page", "my Myspace site", and other phrases that
aren't on target.

As an indication, Google variously promises from 254,000 to 211,000
hits for "my myspace is", and actually produces 281 of them. No doubt
using "has" or "does" would produce some more.

A quick scan of the first ten pages of results seems to show mostly
references to the proprietary websites provided under that name.
