I use myspace the same way Toby does, I find the Bulletin section great as anyone in your friends list can send a message re new records, club nights etc....
Its by far the best feature -----Original Message----- From: Toby Frith [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: 13 February 2008 11:10 To: Odeluga, Ken; 313 Org Subject: RE: (313) and my next question is...... Although the format is clumsy and frustrating, I like Myspace as well. It's also good if you "subscribe" to an artist, you get updates on any new music they may put up. It's better for more obscure ambient/iDm/experimental stuff IMHO though. -----Original Message----- From: Odeluga, Ken [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: 13 February 2008 11:06 To: 313 Org Subject: RE: (313) and my next question is...... I'm (almost) as bad as Rob in this respect! :) - but who cares? Just go with what you're comfortable with innit Francis ....

I don't use either of them to find new music - it's far too time-consuming and I'm far too lazy.

In the meantime, in common with many people I've spoken to, I accidentally joined Facebook when I received one of their "such-and-such says you're their friend, just click on this link to confirm it or they'll know you didn't and weep for a year........ooops you just joined Facebook (sinister laugh)" mails. > Since then I've been seduced and enjoy being on it, putting photos up, > seeing what friends are up to etc (though it takes a good deal of > time).

To my surprise I received the > reply "oh MySpace is over now, nobody uses it anymore, just do it on Facebook". This is fine for me if true as I've become confident with Facebook (I'll do us a group there anyway as it's a doddle) where I'm scared of MySpace. My impression was MySpace was still used by creative types (for example I thought a band would still have a MySpace rather than Facebook page) but this lot I asked are well into spending time on these things and I know were big on MySpace but now aren't.
