how can social networking benefit you?

It can help you to get your band discovered if you are a musician or just get your music out there. It can help you stay in touch with friends who have moved away. There are really no disadvantages to it as long as you make it useful; if you abuse social networking it can give you a bad image that is out on the internet for others to see.

MySpace is the greatest equilizer since the advent of affordable CD manufacturing. It allows everybody an equal chance to be heard. From superstars to unheard garage bands, everybody can have a page and anybody can become a friend of those artists, thereby becoming part of their online network. And MySpace offers the same tools to everybody, big or small or in the middle.

Bands are heavily invested in MySpace. First of all, it's free. That's key. That brings everybody in. They communicate with fans. They make new fans. They're able to post new music, photos, new tour dates and blog posts about whatever topics strikes them. Some don't even have proper websites, just a MySpace page. No need for a webmaster. Anybody can make a MySpace page for free.
