I have 2 MySpace pages... you sort of have to have one if you are a musician these days. It's expected and a great way for people to hear you in a fast and convenient way. Unfortunately, that is about the only good thing about it. I find it very ugly compared to just about every other networking site out there. I also wished it worked more consistently. If I didn't have a band to promote, I'd trash it in a second.
Facebook I think has potential. I use it to try and quickly spread articles and links I think are worthwhile, and also for promotion, for which I've found it's come in handy. Sometimes I wish I didn't know how much time my friends spend on there doing dumb shit, but, oh well... I probably look the same way to them (?) In addition, I'm grateful to have re-connected with certain friends from high-school overseas.
So far I've managed to avoid the time-wasting add-ons and I don't see that changing.
