So many people have jumped ship on myspace it’s more of a ghost town on the internet. I would not put it in my top 4 or even 5. I think if you’re a creative you need to be on twitter and facebook, but engaging on flickr and deviantart. Ustream and Livestream are also really good and I can see more and more artists using them to gain friend and followers. Let’s take my trip to your site and podcast for an example. I found the podcast/site through Bob. I found Bob because he was doing a Ustream. I found out about his Ustream from both Twitter and the Artcast Network. I found out about those because of twitter user @DaniDraws. I could go on and on. It’s so amazing how social media is connecting everyone, but I don’t think MySpace is worth your time anymore.
