A music magazine sets up shop on MySpace and connects with over 15,000 people.It might be worth a few hours of work to set up a site for your business.
The Albuquerque Tribune:
It'd take quite a bit of space to bring together 15,862 of your friends - almost every seat in The Pit and seven Kiva auditoriums.
But for a local publication covering music, all it takes is MySpace.
Since 2004, Hyperactive Music Magazine has used the social networking Web site (www.myspace.com) to connect with thousands - 15,862 to date - of bands, readers and anyone else interested in the publication.
Hyperactive isn't alone.
More and more businesses from Albuquerque and around the world are setting up camp on MySpace, using their bit of digital real estate within the Web site like lighthouses bordering a dark sea that, with a little luck - and enough approved "friend" requests - guide customers to their doorstep.
Though local entrepreneurs dispute the site's efficacy as a business-building tool, they all agree on one thing: With more people going online and about 90 million registered MySpace users, setting up shop on the site is worth the few hours it takes.
