From Portland Mercury’s Myspace: “Attention All Bands”

This looks like it will be a good resource for Portland Musicians. I also like the swipe at Myspace. Again, if you are on the Myspace you should really look into moving to MyFace. Unless, of course, you are a big fan of spam and a loading time that makes this site look like Speedy Gonzales.

Hello there! Two quick questions for you:

1. Do know about the Portland Mercury’s Musicians Directory website? 2. Do you know that it’s awesome?

Here’s the scoop: Bands & DJs can enter their own descriptions, upload photos & Mp3s, promote shows, and keep their fan base growing and up-to-date. It is searchable, easy to use, and FREE.

Once you have a listing, we’ll be able to link to your music from Mercury music reviews and the club calendar. Our music writers will be checking the site out regularly as well.

It’s like MySpace, only local, easy to navigate, and NOT owned by a right-wing nutjob.

Let us know if you have any questions and also how posting goes.

Rock On!

Facebook: Come Join the PDX PIPELINE group and Other Portland Groups there…

On a daily basis, Facebook surprises me with how amazing a place it is and how much better it is than Myspace. It’s not even a contest, and that is why it is now values at 12 Billion versus the 1/2 Billion Rupert paid for Myspace. I am not even sure the present value of the the space…I’m guessing a billion or two, but it might be losing as people recognize it is and will get slaughtered by Facebook.

But, the point is…we have a group there and if you are on Facebook–come join, post, share, and meet others.

PDX PIPELINE - Art, Music, Events, Sustainability of Portland, Oregon

Description: A group teamed up with the PDX PIPELINE in order to provide as much information as possible for the people of Portland, the people of Oregon, and those on their way here.

Also, here is an article from the New York Times on the world of Facebook (and YouTube and apartments and Voyeurism…): Voyeurism: Yours for the Peeping
