so what does anyone think? i know theres a few users out there. is anyone really into it? i have a couple of accounts one for me and one for my music. but i cant say im truely into it. but it is pretty useful, i've found no end of new bands from it and random people seem to have heard of me as well for my music which is pretty good. it's refered to by me as spyspace though, because lets face it, thats all its for. people pouring their feelings out to whoever the hell wants to read them. well anyway i just wondered what the gerneal concensus was.

if anyone wants to spy, i'll help you:

music

me

these are mine. hatefully addictive thing that it is.

Surely it's not spying if someone has put the information in the public domain? If somebody doesn't want to be spied on, then they don't have to use it. It's basically a blog with music.

I've got a myspace account, but I only signed up to subscribe to the blogs of some of my favorite bands.

I signed up and was told to get rid of it!!!!!

Which is sort of cooler than actually having an account by my reckoning :lol:

I'm on there, my profile is a bit of a windup to be honest.

I have a page for Clearlake and in that respect I'd say it's pretty handy - the word's getting out through that as much, if not more, than via the website. When the album came out, I mailed the friends list - so 500 or so people got the message at once! I figure if I don't do that too often (that's the only time to date), a lower percentage of people will delete on sight.

So for people, it's an odd thing. For bands, I'd say pretty good. A shame Rupert Murdoch owns the whole enterprise now.

Clearlake's Myspace page (if you'd like them as your friends!)

The sheer volume of stuff I get through that though - friend requests (nearly 800 and about another 20 a day now), mails (some for me, most to be put into e-mails and sent to the band and/or management), the live bit, the promo stuff in the blog - it's like running a fanclub. Not for the faint hearted...

You can message all your friends at the same time? I'll have to try that one then, but obviously very rarely. I hardly ever post bulletins for the band come to think of it.

I only really use Myspace for promoting The Cakes, it's a good tool for that but there are a lot of annoying requests from bands all the time so I'm not surprised if most people ignore most bands on there...

www.myspace.com/thecakes < my personal profile - it's not a long story but I can't be bothered to explain why the address is so.
www.myspace.com/thecakesloveyou < and this is the band.
