I mean really is it? A couple of years ago, MySpace use to be where it’s at. Folks were conversing with each other, like really conversing. They were connecting with each other. MySpace use to be a place where like minded individuals could communicate and share interests. Man! I use to be put up on sooooo many indie bands through this site.
Nowadays, it seems as though most people are here solely to stunt and promote. Not that there is anything wrong with promoting. Hell, I always plug my going-ons on MySpace… Like my video blog --YouTube.com/ChasityChaos (shameless self-promotion). This is a great venue to make people aware of happenings, but what happened to the real connections? What happened to the dialog? What happened to the silliness? I miss it!
These days, I spend more time on FaceBook (FaceBook.com/ChasityChaos). So much time, that I have actually been contemplating the necessity of my MySpace page… So I am writing this message to ask all of the MySpacers of the world… Should I give up on MySpace, delete my page and turn to another social site for nourishment, or do you feel in your heart of hearts that there is a possibility of MySpace being resurrected?
