My apologies for calling Adam “Andrew” in the episodes.
Jimmy Yukka asks, “Is MySpace Dead?”

Yes MySpace is second to FaceBook, but saying to ignore MySpace is like saying we should ignore the Rolling Stones becuase they were second to the Beatles.
In my opinion when it comes to all social media, you get out of them what you put into them. Unfortunately the more popular a website gets (MySpace, Twitter) people invent robots to manage their website for them.
The Music business is about building relationship with people – no robots. When you turn your relationship building over ot a robot you are missing the boat. The bad nws is at MySpace its hard to find a person. It seems everyone is using robots. This is why MySpace lost some of its appeal. So try to connect with people at MySpace, build a relationship with them.
If you are finding that most of your “friends” at MySpace don’t login, don’t pay attention, then maybe your MySpace is dead.
Bob Baker has a great book about marketing your band on MySpace and the whole book is about building relationships with people.

Here is a thought. Ozzy Osbourne’s new guitarist got contacted VIA MYSAPCE. Here is a quote “”I got a message on my MySpace page from Rob ‘Blasko’, Ozzy’s bass player, asking me what was doing, if was living in America or not and saying that he wanted to talk to me.” – so good tings still happen at mysapce
Interesting idea from Adam Hoek. Unfortunately his Twitter account has been suspended due to “strange activity”!
