Myspace - can anyone give me a basic introduction?

[Earlybird]

I've been hearing more and more about Myspace, and how it is now being used to market new music to potential fans directly.

Anyone here use it/know about it, and able to explain it to me?

read this and you should get a good idea basically it's what you make of it

the comments at the end are interesting

I think it has a detrimental effect on my pc

Thanks for that information. So is this the sort of thing that was responsible for the success of the Artic Monkeys and Sandy Thom?

Anyone a regualr visitor to the site that wishes to recommend any music?
