In a press release today MySpace features their growing appeal as: "an information destination for bands, fans,filmmakers, writers, artists, record industry professionals, and more. " MySpace co-founder Tom Anderson says:"MySpace Music is what MP3.com should have been, but never was".
Here's an excerpt from the eMediaWire pressrelease highlighting the music sharing potential of MySpace:
MySpace: The Future is Now:
With two million members (and growing), MySpace offers a multi-level entertainment opportunity involving blogs, instant messaging, classifieds, peer voting, special interest groups, user forums and user-created content. Is it popular? You bet: they have statistics that show the site receiving 35 million impressions per day at an average of one hour online per visit. So far, all MySpace services are free, with the site supported entirely by advertisers who are eager to reach exactly the young, Web-savvy and Web-social music fan that MySpace attracts.
Created by Chris DeWolfe and Tom Anderson, MySpace is already successful on a level that caught many industry onlookers by surprise. While the main MySpace site leads to pure social networking, the section of the site called MySpace Music is a revolutionary way to reach their built-in Web audience of two million networked users and has the potential to rapidly expand beyond that already impressive figure. As a means of launching unsigned and emerging recording artists, MySpace Music is a formidable tool.
