I like your metaphor here and I do think it has merit, vlogging is still pretty new as well and who knows where it will lead but as others have said if you are looking at increasing your audience Myspace can not be ignored. However, I do think that the age group is young but.....and this is a big but.....what if they continue to use it after High School and College? Don't forget that this service is still pretty new in the big scheme of things, it could evlove into something vastly different than it is today.
But again who knows and I do think we need to be open to various ideas and ways to blog,vlog or whatever. http://batmangeek7.blogspot.com --- In [email protected], "Michael Sullivan" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > i talked a bit about myspace in a previous thread here.... > i used a metaphor that myspace was like NYC and the blogosphere was like the > rest of NY. if you dont venture into the city, you wont have as many > connections to the connected.... to the culture, to the noise and chaos.
