- unalone 17y agoI get your point, but I disagree with you. Users doesn't matter unless those users are seeing you. If you're a band, using MySpace to attract users doesn't work well; I can imagine a clever band using Facebook much more effectively than they'd ever use MySpace, because Facebook's designed for virality. If I'm a band, I want two things: I want an easy way to distribute music, and I want networking. My point was that MySpace offered a bastardized version of each. Facebook offers networking better than anything else; if I'm looking for follower count and nothing else, Facebook's got everything beat. Its music system isn't terrible, but it's much easier to use Bandcamp to attract users. That means that you've got everything you need, unless you're deluded into thinking that people will randomly stumble upon you online and that Facebook doesn't work well for that; in that case, The Sixty One is the perfect solution. So it takes a little set-up, but you end up with a much stronger solution than you had with MySpace.
- dan_the_welder 17y agoI just checked out The Sixty One and it looks great, but it did not exist when the the Myspace band rush started. Edit-- The Sixty One is amazing. What a beautiful UI, it works likes a charm. I am gonna join and recommend the hell out of it. Edit,Edit-- It let me sign up without stopping the song I was playing or losing track of the songs I had already listened to. Very pro, this is how you do it right.
