Questions on recent page visit counts ... Myspace had a note up saying the "play count" for visits to the new jukebox software were way off and the problem would be fixed soon; they hoped. My play counts were in the thousads per day - and I know that's not right.

I think the site in general is a good thing. Very beneficial to folks making music, and it seems almost a requirement for folks making a living or at least some income from music.

It's easy to use, interesting to browse and pretty open as to what you want to do with it. They have worked hard to make the spammers go away and have also worked hard to help you avoid the hackers.

I also use Youtube and have benefited from my vdieso there and from other people putting up videos of my shows. Both Youtube and Myspace have helped me sell music (CDs and gigs). I am not a facebook user or at least not much of a user. I couldn't figure it out and didn't want to take the time to learn it. It didn't seem aimed at the professional "networking" sort of activities I am interested in. It seemed more social focused. I could be wrong about that, but that is my initial judgement.

Myspace can be annoying sometimes, in the way new software rolls out - they have bumps and hiccups for a while with the way things run after software upgrades, but on the whole, it's a pretty good product. And you can't beat the price.

Myspace functions as my on-line promo kit.
