<p>Hmm…I dunno. I think that the “Google model of non-intrusive marketing” is working. Better than anyone expected, really.</p>
<p>Yeah. I’m just somewhat wary. It’ll be interesting to see how stuff folds out though.</p>
<p>I can definitely see allie’s points here. I worked in the music biz for a minute over the summer (a&r side to be exact) and helping run artist MySpaces was part of my duty (I am still a computer guy after all). Let me just tell you, I’ve seen some bizarre things sent to these MySpaces. Actually, the whole music business is pretty bizarre in general. But no, Miss 15 Year Old in Texas, my artist can’t fly out to Texas to play your 16th birthday, not unless Daddy wants to pay us a lot of money (she left her full contact info too). And sorry Miss 14 year old in Canda, I can’t help you pick up that boy in 3rd period math class. And why in the world does a 44 year old man in New Jersey have their profile decked out in Laguna Beach graphics? And that’s just scratching the surface.</p>
<p>As someone who does play music though and someone who does snoop around some of these sites, I have to say its still a pretty interesting way of reaching out to people. I mean giving people some songs and some candid pictures and videos is definitely something people can hold on to, far better than some 30 second ad that’ll pass by on TV. Well see how it all goes.</p>
<p>Funny how this thread became UCLA dominated though haha.</p>
