Too old for MYSPACE?
I can’t decide. Is 29 too old for MySpace or am I just too stubborn (maybe lazy) to set up an account? Recently the girls at work (totally hip, cute, early twenty-somethings) introduced me to FaceBook, an assured me that other ’seniors’ like myself network through FaceBook. It looked more appealing than MySpace, to be honest… a little less trashy, quieter, and minus the schizophrenic animations that characterize the MySpace accounts I’ve viewed. Well, obviously, I’m a little reluctant about the whole thing, so I haven’t set up an account yet. I will definately keep you posted, if I succumb to the temptation to enter this particular facet of the cyber world, but for now, I wobble on the fence of indecision. But look! Just to my left, a gate has opened… and I’ve discovered that my interview has been published on the JET MySpace account. Do I dare to enter?
Like artwork, myspace or facebook is simply what you make of it. In the end…both are just a medium for communication. If you don’t have the need or desire for the additional medium, don’t waste your time.
Then again, that’s a young 29 yr old’s perspective. Older 29 yr olds tend to have crabbier viewpoints.

MySpace is the trailer park of the web.

As an artist, I couldn’t be without myspace, but it was originally developed to aid bands in marketing themselves, so it makes sense for me. It is all these 19 year olds that use it for dating, or what not, have make it a bit of a challenge. Never the less, there is always the hope that you will reach someone that would not be possible through another medium. So, I say go for it…oh yeah, I am 33, so 29 is definitely not too old.
