MySpace is good for one thing

MySpace is pretty rubbish really, I think most people had an account once but when some of the better social networks developed they moved away. It has many problems but reminds me of those funny briefs you get occasionally that go something like this "I want to setup this new interactive social platform like Facebook but needs features like YouTube and Skype, I don't have a budget but I will consider an equity exchange."

MySpace is trying to be everyone, it is trying to be Facebook with its status updates and it is trying to be You Tube with its video channel but in reality MySpace Is Good For One Thing, music.

There is one reason many people return to MySpace again and again, it is a simple way to go and check out what your fav band is doing and listen to material. Guns N Roses, The Gallows and most recently Kasabian are example artists who have streamed a pre-release of their album.

Forget the social network MySpace is a music portal.
