I just DON’T GET IT! What is the big deal about MySpace? It’s like people have discovered web pages all over again. For crying out loud, HTML isn’t that hard, people!
Everybody has a MySpace page! The Midwest Comic Book Association has one. Luann the comic character has one, as does her enemy. I’ve seen MOVIES announcing their MySpace page instead of having a domain. Everyone wants to get their list of friends up to an amazing number. I don’t know what happens if you do. Is there some sort of cyber-popular table that the winners get to sit at?
Remember back when web sites first came out and every advertisement on TV was shouting their “double-u-double-u-double-u-dot-com” at the end? It got really annoying. Hearing and reading “MySpace” is getting to be the same way.
There. Got that off my chest.
Now I can get in on this trend late and begin giving out my MySpace URL relentlessly in the hopes of being super-popular like the rest of you.
UPDATE:
Geoff Johns, Brad Meltzer and Brian Posehn, too. I just don’t get it. If you’re a superstar who could (and does) have his own domain and customized site, why would you want some stupid little page that an 11-year-old can make? Or is that why people like it, because it’s the great equalizer?
What am I missing, here?
One response to “Everybody loves Marsha’s Myspace! Marsha Marsha Marsha!”
The reason many proffesionals use myspace is to generate traffic to their main URL’s or to market themselves. A great a example of Myspace marketing is Dane Cook. A great comedian in his own right – but he utilized myspace to bring attention to both his act and to keep himself with the public awareness.
