MySpace - Part 2

I posted previously about Myspace.com. Here is a link to that post:

Previous Post About Myspace


Since then I have created my own Myspace page:

My MySpace Page!


I was watching Nightline and they were doing a story about MySpace. Two guys thought it up and then it became this global phenomanon(sp?). MySpace is in over 14 different countries and in a number of different languages. The two guys sold it for $600 Million Dollars! and from the Nightline story they are still working there.

The main thrust of the story was about how popular MySpace is. It started out as a social networking place and then the music bands got in on it to promote their music. Soon filmakers both new and experienced jumped in on the bandwagon and even the movie "Pirates of the Carribean" had a MySpace Page! The number of Myspace members has grown to 175 Million people! Now the politicians are getting in on the act by having their own MySpace page.

MySpace means exactly that - you get to have your space on the Internet. You get to have your own webpage and the best thing about it is that it is free! If you go and take a look at my MySpace page it will give you an idea as to what kind of page you can make. Some of them are very sophisticated but there's also a website where you can pick a layout and make it your own. Once you finished your page you can look around at other people's pages and ask them to be your "friend" and they will be added to your list of friends on your MySpace page.

Now you may wonder why would you want a MySpace page and the reason why most people have one is because it's fun. You get to have your own webpage (and blog), put on it almost anything you like including music and video clips - all told it's just like having your own space on the Internet!

So if you're looking for a site where you can make your own webpage for free (plus have a free blog) then a good place for you to start would be with
