Today we take a look at how a mascot can connect with fans via myspace.  The WNBA Chicago Sky mascot (The Sky Guy) is an active myspace member.

This is a rather simple layout with some video, large clear photos and comments.

Two things that this mascot myspace page is doing well. 

1. It uses the MySpace Interests to help define his character, which is an important use of any on-line presense…to define who your character is.
2. Sky Guy created a “Friends of Sky Guy” Group which creates a discussion forum for his friends and fans.  This is somewhat uncommon with the MySpace pages I have seen, but an intersting tool. http://groups.myspace.com/friendsofskyguy

There is some room to improve with some simple layout additions, but this shows what can be done with limited customization and with some substance over style.
