Do you find myspace a useful promotion tool?

[MangaFish]

Personally i can see the potential benefits, but i can't get over how shoddily designed it is and how many perverts there are on it.

I must admit i'm very tempted to design my own version going to the very core of what myspace SHOULD be doing right.

[dan the acid man]

yeah a better designed one could do well, but the costs would be pretty high wouldn't they ?

Like you say, myspace seems to be full of people wanting to get off with each other, but there's also some worth to it, it's another way of keeping in touch with friends etc.

The main benefit is it's free, so it helps undiscovered new artists get a place on the net.

Im on there, but as i have nothing to promote, i just use it to keep in touch with a couple of long distance friends, and look out for any new exciting music

not that good for promotion but great to hook up with porn stars etc...he he!!

[TechMouse]

No, because it's blocked here.

just dont go to the porno star pages, and errr youl be ok. There's a very healthy techno network on there, techno groups etc etc. Ive personally found it one of the best free networking tools a person could wish to have. Ive found great new music through it, had tracks signed to labels from hooking up with people on there, sorted out remix swaps etc etc

just dont presume its going to save a persons music career straight off and you'l be ok with it i think

certainly better than NOT having it

lotta sicko's on there
