MySpace, stickiness, friendship vs. fanship / fandom, Basia and The Idea of North
Today a friend sent me a stumble that started, "I know this music isn't your cup of tea..." The music was ok, but he was right -- not my cup of tea. What he couldn't have known is that I had never visited a musical group's MySpace page before. It struck me right away as a brilliant idea. The group gets an explicit measure of the size of its fandom, and the stickiness of the page is helped by the group's music playing in the background. I searched and found my two favorite artists (don't force me to choose!): Basia and The Idea of North. This is the first good use I've found for my MySpace page. I'm impressed that MySpace even allows categories of friends. I have two "artist" friend requests pending. Thanks, Eric!
