23.12 Putting it Together: MySpace, Facebook, Hi5, etc

MySpace is the 3rd most popular Internet site in the US, and it’s pure Web 2.0. It combines features of blogging, wikis, audio and video sharing, and other technologies, and it’s whole reason for being is to bring together social networks (which leads to collaboration). Of course, since most of the social networks that live on MySpace are fairly small, it can be bewildering and tribal … it’s a web 2.0 site that only bands and teens can get, sometimes. Musician’s MySpace pages give a pretty good feel as what is possible on MySpace. If you’re exploring, keep in mind that vulgar speech is the norm.
