ur myspace pages

[Guest ramon]

Orkut sounds like a vacuum cleaner.

its google social networking site .. its a bit old and its invite only sort of deal .. cool site.

linkedin for job stuff

virb is the new kid on the block.

[Guest pod]

Heh, now it's old hat. Someone needs to step up with some new concepts for social networking.

Tom works for me! Call me Mr. Murdoch.

A little aside, why do DJs now put their MySpace profiles as their main page now on their flyers? Cheesy if you ask me. Spend the $5, get a domain, and use that as your primary. Then put up a MySpace page because it's free and easy.

Reminds me of way back when, when domains were costly, and storage equally so, and you'd see people with Geocities pages as their main site. Hah, remember Geocities? Or way back when, when it was called Geopages?

Now you are talking post IRC - ealry ICQ era.

Cheesy and lame if you ask me.

Yeap... they should invovate in web social networking. We are all tired of the same shit.

[Guest bootstah]

Just out of morbid curiosity, any of you guys use any of the other social networking services?

yea I have tons of Brazilian friends on Orkut I forgot all about that one, I think I have a page too...

[Guest pod]

Heh. Most people would be like IR huh?

[Guest ramon]

Heh. Most people would be like IR huh?

check out virb.com dan .. its uber clean and customizable.

[Guest computerjockey]

OK...I get a myspace friend request from a poster on this board dressed in drag. Um, no.

No quiero amigos maricón en MySpace. Lo siento.

you must be talking about me. nyc was all about drag where fl obvioulsy isn't - trust me i'd would rather have had a music scene cuz i dig music. they're 2 different worlds but you're "um, no" remark obvioulsy belongs somewhere in middle FL and nowhere near NY. i almost forgot this is technically the deep south.

btw, i switch my pics around but for the past couple of days i've been using this one:

is this what you're talking about? i'm covering my face. the 'drag' is amanda lepore - the most famous trans in the world. you can say "um, no" all you want but "um, dumbass" get a clue

[Guest pod]

myspace rocks - it's the epicenter of the online world and what's happening online is changing the world.

It's introduced the social networking concept to the masses, certainly, and gives those who don't have the time or the money for a real presence, to have one. Not to downbeat it, but if you're in business "for real", seeing myspace.com/blahblah as your only form of online presence is kinda tacky.

yeah but myspace is just getting bigger everyday. what myspace enabled me to do in NYC is beyond comprehension - i owe a lot to myspace and will always be a HUGE fan and an complete avid advocator of online networking.

[Guest pod]

Again, I'm not demeaning it, but it comes down to appearances.

Having "djcomputerjockey.com" looks infinitely more stylish and slick than "myspace.com/computerjockey".

Maybe I'm old hat at this internet stuff, but again, it hearkens back to the days of www.freeprovider.com/~user or something. It's what you did since www.yourwebsite.com cost good money to set up and run. Now, you can set up and have a website for less than $10. Some hosts will even give you a MySpace-esque "fill in the blanks" template to get you started.

Plus, with your own presence, you have infinite control over what you can do with it.

And if you're in the adult industry, you can't use MySpace that effectively. Porn chicks have MySpace sites, but not as their primary marketing vehicle. And MySpace admins sometimes get high and mighty about the girls linking to their own sites.

MySpace? Use it cause it's free, but I wouldn't rely on it.

I have a clue and that just isn't my cup of tea. To each their own. Some people like to go play golf in their spare time like msyelf, some people go to drag parties.

[Guest dgrutman]

not myspace but www.meatspin.com is gaining a lot of users.

[Guest MayLing]

Good'nuff. I won't knock those who play golf who you can try not to knock those who do drag. Besides, I got nothing against a good golf game.

I know but you're asking someone who's in say NYC (myspace) to leave that town and travel to Iowa just so they can have a ".com" - why leave the city when everyone's there? Everyone spends a great amount of time on Myspace and those on it are more likely to go to your myspace page then your ".com"

[Guest pod]

Hmm, a lot more people go to my .com than my MySpace profile.

MySpace is a social networking community, and a valuable one at that. I tell everyone who runs any sort of business with a web presence, to at least put a basic profile up since it takes ten seconds. Invest more money and time in your .com, since the bulk of your paying clientele are gonna Google for whatever your service is, rather than shuffle over to MySpace and look.

Also there's the obvious issue of MySpace being controlled by a single entity. You might be too young to remember this, but back in the day, services like AOL were not connected to the greater internet. You paid $20-$30 a month for a "closed" online experience, which is what MySpace essentially amounts to being a free version of.

Again, it's cool because it's free, but having a .com of your own can't be beat.

[Guest Marina22]

Looking at it from a consumer standpoint, I will be more impressed (adds to their credibility) if I see both a .com and a myspace for X artist when I google their name. Also, if it doesn't cost much why not? I wouldn't want to have my myspace on my business card if I was a dj..

[Guest pod]

Finally someone agrees with me. It looks kind of tacky if you're really trying to sell yourself.

[Guest Marina22]

If I go on a dj's myspace, for research on the artist, all I am going to get is some sample tracks, maybe a video, some tour dates, possibly a bio, their influences and who the f their "friends" are. If I really care to research an artist more I usally delve deeper than that and go on their actual website, www.djhowmydictate.com.

[Guest pod]

Damn, and I clicked on that. ;D
