Exactly - The whole purpose of myspace is the fact that they have every single band on the planet. Google a bandname and thanks to an agreement between google and myspace the band's myspace page will be one of the top results. It's the fastest way to check out and quickly listen to an artist you might be interested in.
This is a feature that Facebook lacks and i never understood why they didn't include options to offer some kind of media showcase on artist fanpages. A simple music player would make a big difference.
Today soundcloud seems to be the new myspace (just talking about myspace' music features here), a role that could have easily been filled by facebook.
- robryan 16y agoFacebook should team up with Apple, will push their ping idea more mainstream, give Facebook a good music platform which will in turn sell more stuff on itunes. Seems fairly win win.
- bbgm 16y agoAs a musician I set up a MySpace page, but disliked the site so much, I shut it down. Soundcloud on the other hand ... that I really like and the API makes it much easier to incorporate into your site, something MySpace never really figured out (maybe now they do)
- thirdsun 16y agoi'm also a musician and some years ago a myspace page was absolutely necessary and even back that it looked like crap. i'm glad that soundcloud came into the market - focussing on its main feature: music. Only minimal social features - i guess they know that this stuff happens elsewhere.
