I'm all for Facebook. However, the impression I always get from myspace is that only (a) emo pseudo-punks, (b) whiny teenyboppers, or (c) wicked old sketchy pedophiles are registered. I HATE the fact that people link media, sound or video files on their profiles too.

e-pimping is becoming quite popular especially for dorks/nerds/losers who have no confidence and are afraid to talk to a girl face to face. i got a friend (whos not in the above category) who meets all his women online.

What Myspace IS good for is getting a lot of info on bands that you like or might like. Just as a for-instance, two of my cousins are musicians. They both have new studio albums coming out (one just got released, the other is later this year), and they both have been either streaming or posting for download 3-4 tracks off their albums. You can get tour info, photos, blog entries, and more. Plus, you get to see what acts they are listening to or friends with, and click over to those pages and get the same stuff for those acts. Myspace is turning into a really useful way for smaller/independent bands to reach a wide audience.

I have a friend on there that is using it for the samething and it's working really well for him. He has gotten a lot of exposure that he never would have been able to get any other way. For that, I love the idea, but other than that... I hate the site. I only have a membership there so we can talk and exchange ideas from time to time. But... I still end up sending him e-mails anyway, just because I hate logging into that place.
There is also a band here in Corinth that has a Myspace account and it has led to them getting gigs as far away as New Jersey! They have also met other bands, from around the country, and use Myspace as a way to set up sorta like Mega-Shows were four or five of them play at the same place on the same night. It's great for all of them.
I love using Acidplanet for the exchange of musical ideas way better than anything else, but it's hard - if not impossible - to get the same level of exposure there like you can at a place like My Space. If you ever want to really hear some great music, no matter what genre, check out www.acidplanet.com sometime. There's some amazing musicians and artist there! You can find really really interesting stuff.
Other than that... I really see no reason for MySpace. All the other junk that goes on should be left on Yahoo or something.

My impression is that it's the new e-cool hangout for prepubescent girls who want to say their 18+, horny dudes that are scared to talk to chicks, and pedaphiles looking for a date.
