Myspace has been a great platform for promoting music thus far, and it doesn't exhibit the same revenue hungry ambition that Facebook does. It's only a matter of time until it becomes a Clear Channel with payola schemes deciding who hears what. When it comes to art, MySpace's technological weaknesses are actually strengths because they enable an organic process of discovering music. I expect that Facebook will foolishly or selfishly attempt to 'solve' that problem and help to start reversing the positive trend that music has been experiencing largely BECAUSE of MySpace. If Facebook starts to provide solutions for the big record labels, then it's time to run. As a musician, I hate this idea.
