I have to admit I think My Space is really weird…..weird especially if you have graduated from High School. I have friends who ask me if I have a My Space account….and i just tell them I was Class of 87, so no.
That said, there is some successful marketing happening via my space. I recently heard that Nike Soccer has over 35,000 friends (who they can connect with instantly via my space). Now some teams are popping up on my space as a way to connect with fans.
The Bakersfield Condors of the ECHL have an official myspace page (myspace.com/bakersfieldcondors) for example, which they use to promote game dates, share information about the team, and interact directly with young fans. (from team PR)
So for now I am shifting my my space reaction from “lame” to “mildly interesting”….but I still refuse to put myself up there as a way to surf for “friends”…I have my standards.
Does your team or act have a page on myspace? Let me know how its working.
