I'm on MySpace here: http://www.myspace.com/scottandrewrawks ...but I NEVER EVER use MySpace to invite people to join. I ONLY contact people who are already MySpace members. The reason: I feel that if you're already a member, you've basically opted-in to getting "be my friend!" requests, even from strangers. MySpace can be very cool. It can be helpful, for instance, to search and find all MySpace members within a certain ZIP code that enjoy the Dave Matthews Band and send them a "friend request" -- hey, you like DMB, I like DMB, maybe you'll like my stuff too!" Basically, you can very specifically identify a group of potential fans, who've willingly put this info out there in the MySpace system to find. I've heard of no-name bands that are able to pull in a decent crowd when they place a strange city for the first time, thanks to MySpace connections. But I would NEVER use MySpace to spam people outside of MySpace. That ain't cool. ------------------ Scott Andrew Lo-fi acoustic pop superhero! http://www.scottandrew.com/music
