It started with a simple post titled “The Offices of MySpace.com in Mexico” on the weblog of Marco Islas Cruz from Veracruz, Mexico.

Bling bling blogger “P Cero” commented, “LOL, now I know why MySpace blogs are so sucky.”

The photo of the cybercafe-turned-MySpace-billboard in Huauchinango, Puebla was then picked up [ES] by Enchilame, a newish Digg-like aggregator by Spanish free software advocate and programmer Ricardo Galli [ES]. Enchilame user “Darkbop” added [ES], “haha, a friend of mine told me that the “in” is now for business names to end in “.com”.

Alejandro Ojeda of the popular tech blog Blogueando then jumped on the bandwagon [ES]:

Muchos conocemos MySpace y muchos tenemos una pagina por ahi. Muchos otros también visitamos algunas o varias páginas en MySpace. Casi a diario se habla de MySpace y muchas cosas son MySpace. Pues en México hay unas “oficinas” de MySpace. ¿Dónde? En el estado de Puebla, en un lugar llamado Huauchinango, y esta es una imagen de sus instalaciones. Espero algún día tomarme una fotografía ahí.

Many of us are familiar with MySpace and many have a page there. Others of us visit some MySpace pages. MySpace is talked about almost daily and many things are based there. Well, in Mexico there are some MySpace “offices”. Where? In the state of Publa, in a place called Huauchinango and this is a photo of their installations. I hope to one day take my photo there.
