Yeah I agree, there was a time when myspace was really buzzing, some days I was getting 100 plays of my tracks and many collaboration opportunities. Suddenly myspace started changing shit and it slowly became harder for me to promote myself to my fans and slowly but surely after facebook came out it eventually died, leaving just spammers. The music world just became so oversaturated that my voice was lost in the crowded hum of mediocrity and total shit. And not being one to compromise my morals or ideals was unable to adapt to the new dog eat dog world of self promotion, and putting myself above others by treading on toes and at the expense of others or my own integrity.
Id rather be on dead space over myspace...
There are some die hard MySpacers but for all general purposes yeah it's dead. What Slik is talking about was the same thing that grabbed me...creating and designing your page, that was the ish. I've never been a big fan of any of them but right now fb is a great tool to contact and keep in touch with old friends no matter what you think of it.
