I do agree, it's a great place for marketing, but the pages take ages to load and then fill you computer with spam-ware (is that the right word), where all kinds of nasties attach to your computer and then bombard you with ads. Haven't tried Facebook.

I have met TONS of authors through my MySpace account, and with my facebook, it's like Emily said - I limit it to people I know in person or else very well online.Erinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15192628745431017199noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6767616279966291185.post-71979055812346829562007-12-19T16:33:00.000-05:002007-12-19T16:33:00.000-05:00I know I just heard that about Jamie Lynn. That's ...I know I just heard that about Jamie Lynn. That's crazy.<BR/><BR/>Anyway, I love MySpace and Facebook (though, i don't use facebook as often and tend to keep it to people i know--or actually know online in some capacity).<BR/><BR/>I do know that I've read many people's books that I've found through MySpace, and it's not that time consuming to set up a page. So if you can do it, you might as well have a page. And if you want to use it as a marketing place, then don't "spam" people. I generally think it's fun to get to know your readers and potential readers, which is why I like the idea of it. But if you do it to just market your book, then I think you could anger people more than get them to buy it. But actually getting to "know" them or comment every once in awhile makes it seem like you actually care. <BR/><BR/>Okay, I just feel like none of that made sense. It's been a long day, already.Emily Marshallhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07073350248209507278noreply@blogger.com
