This morning I logged into one of my MySpace pages to approve a couple of new online “friends”, and for the first time I noticed the statistics displayed on the right side of the window.
My Network has 120,676,000 plus members.
One hundred twenty million?
Is that possible? Are there that many folks on MySpace? Wow! Can’t really wrap my mind around that number. It’s like almost half the population of the United States.
I don’t have a lot of time to poke around, but I hear Cosmo (as in the magazine) now has a MySpace page. Walmart. And a Borders bookstore in California (they’re hiring, btw). It seems that MySpace, which was once an online hangout for teens procrastinating from pre-calc homework has become The Place To Be.
Do some searching and you’ll find authors Gena Showalter, Sylvia Day, Deidre Knight, Linnea Sinclair, Christine Feehan, and the list goes on. You’ll find industry professionals like Katherine Falk (Romantic Times magazine), New Concepts Publishing, Samhain Publishing and Fallen Angel Reviews. It’s a treasure trove of reader goodies. Their pages offer book trailers, blogs, excerpts, special online events and contests.
I’d love to know who those one hundred twenty million folks are out there. Do you myspace? If so, I’d love to “friend” you! Post a link or go to my pages and click “Add Me”.
For those who are curious, my MySpace pages are:
www.myspace.com/sexandthesingleghost
www.myspace.com/fictionwithsassitude
www.myspace.com/sydneylaineallan
Friday at noon (Eastern Time) I’ll draw a name from those who either respond on this blog or “friend” me (make sure to mention Access Romance in your request) for a signed paperback copy of Sex and the Single Ghost.
See you at MySpace!
Tawny

I do have a MySpace, in fact I believe you’re already one of my friends, but for those of you who are interested (I usually post bulletins about events at my blogger blog LOL) :

I’m not sure of all the fuss, but I have about 98 “friends”, which to me is a lot! And I wouldn’t mind more *g*

I’m not one of those one hundred twenty million MySpace bloggers. I spend a lot of time blogging here at Access Romance & at authors blogs. I haven’t felt the need to have my own.

No, I’m not too familiar with MySpace. I’ve heard about it and read about it, but I’ve never visited the sight.
I thought it was mostly for teenagers, but I guess it’s expanding!

I don’t do MySpace either. If I did, I would “friend” you, but alas I don’t :oops:. Like Tammy I usually just visit the author blogs and site blogs that interest me. But wow, one hundred twenty million people?

I have been hearing about MySpace but I don’t know much about it. I am technologically behind…at least for now.

I’m on my space. It’s crazy out there. One of my favorite singers even added me to her friends list! I mean wow! You can read blogs by Ryan Reynolds and hang at few other celebrities places. I think some celebs even use myspace as the first place they post news. It’s really weird.

I’m such a computer geek that I have a myspace as well as 2 other blogs and a web page. For anyone interested (and feel free to “add me”), myspace is at
http://www.myspace.com/dukefn99
I just skipped over to my page and now the netword is up to 121,108,709… that’s nearly 500,000 more pages set up since you posted! That’s absolutely ridiculous.

I have never been to My Space and I have no plans to go in the future. I prefer the web blogs…they seem smaller, friendlier.
My 18 year old is on there a lot. We seem to pick up a lot of computer garbage(requiring AdWare and antivirus protection) when he goes on MY Space.
