Hi Tony-
I started a MySpace page too - but I stopped.
While it may be fun in a strictly personal, social sense - I've heard that it can kill you professionally.
Be careful!
Hey Tony,
Though I too have a myspace page, I keep it out of my business life. Though there any many people on myspace, demographically speaking, the site is aimed at users between 14 & 22. A Majority of their users seem to be high schoolers and still in college.
I don't think MySpace is truly aimed at adults.... but that's just my opinion.
I started a my-space to keep in touch with a few family/friends who started using it as a different way of communication I assume. I labeled my site as marketing. I have not received any leads as of yet. but if you keep it simple and business orientated I don't see how it could be of any harm.
I agree with Rahil. MySpace is for not for adults or for business. The only adults there are the perverts and the parents trying to find out what their kids are doing. If the parents see you there, they might get the wrong idea - hence, Marc's comment that it can kill you professionally.
What to do? Remove yourself from MySpace and spend your time on professional sites like ActiveRain.
Marc....yeah, that's what I'm worried about *sigh*
Rahil...I disagree about the target age range. I see pages all the time of people 30+. While there are a lot of kids on there, there are plenty of adults that use it all the time. The reason I even posted this blog is because I found a local realtor on there who is 40+. However, she does keep it private...I wonder what she's hiding on there? LOL
I've thought about putting up a page for Jacqui there, but the site overall doesn't seem all that....professional to say the least. Its more like a giant college dorm and I think there are other social networking sites that would be more of a benefit than myspace. I've had more contacts through http://claimid.com/jacqulynrichey and http://usrealtors.ning.com/profile/lasvegasrealestate Kids haven't invaded these sites and the focus is more professional IMO. -Charles
I am a Realtor and have had the same thing happen. Some of my friend post some things clients should not be seeing. There is a place to post home for sale, but most people will not be on myspace looking for a loan or search for a house.
