[Sigia-l] Your take on MySpace

[Brad Lauster]

I use myspace regularly. I'm older than 25. I am not a musician.

I can say the same for my friends, several of whom are listed as such  
on my myspace profile, which you're welcome to see, here:
http://www.myspace.com/bradlauster

I'm happy to discuss my use of it, if anyone's interested, though it  
doesn't seem appropriate for the list. (Just send me a separate email.)

The short answer is that I use it for the same thing I use flickr for  
- to see what my friends are up to and to let them know what I'm up  
to. I suppose I also use it to find out when my favorite bands are  
going to be in town.

One thing I don't remember seeing mentioned the first time this  
thread went around, nor this time, is the reason I think most people  
use myspace: to look at pictures of sexy people.

Brad
