DENVER, Aug. 25 (UPI) -- The Internet networking site MySpace is hosting a bevy of activities and events related to this week's Democratic National Convention in Denver, the site said.

The MySpace activities are part of the company's IMPACT initiative, a statement said Monday.

"Our goal is to democratize democracy. MySpace is the leading forum for engaging in discussions of ideas and culture so it's important that we have a strong presence at both conventions," said Lee Brenner, director of IMPACT and executive producer of political programming at MySpace.

Brenner said MySpace is providing a place were "leaders of government, business and citizens all come together and our unique platform provides an ideal setting for all of these groups to connect."

The MySpace Cafe is serving as a home base for, among others, bloggers, journalists, delegates and the general public where they can enjoy free wireless Internet, kiosks to check their MySpace and blog about convention happenings.
