edit: or not, seems that woman contacted more acts than she needed for some foolish reason and me taking less than 48 hrs to reply wasnt fast enough...maybe if shed EMAILED me instead of sending a myspace message 
All I know is is that I opted out of the "new" profile layout (I had a bunch of html stuff that I didn't want ruined) and a few months ago they just automatically switched me. lost all my code, too.
pretty sure facebook is gonna pull the same thing when 2011 starts
Same, I made a full on Div layout that looked like a giant gameboy, with the player in the screen and clickable buttons. then it all got scrapped 
cheers myspace. Anyway, I guess it all comes down to content. your (alex iayd) facebook statuses are usually pretty funny
*edit IAYD, not IYAD, oops

My personal FB account is for family and friends that won't look at my Twitter account, and its status updates are worded accordingly. It is read by people that already know about my music, and it is deliberately not readable by anyone else, so perhaps that's that... I didn't open my FB account with the intention of meeting people, that's what forums are for
You are going to meet more people doing the same thing you are on forums, youll meet real people with the potential to be fans on facebook.

Lol, no shit. Why would they just waste space like that?
I hated most of the custom designs people would make using some third party copy/paste site. Pimp my layout and shit. That's what made it look really awful. Also it was full of xss vulnerabilities and spam and shit. The new layout is alright, but still really crowded, and confused looking.

Its extremely resource heavy for one. And I am on a not top end laptop like most of the US.
Yeah this. It's not hard to make a good looking layout that's easy on resources, but myspace is run by Newscorp now. I doubt they have a 'less is more' attitude.

2.3 GHz and 1.2 GBs of Ram, and my browser freezes up everytime. A website that can do that, isnt a website i want to go to.

Facebook + RootMusic seems to be the best deal out there.
More people now than ever use facebook, RootMusic adds a tab to your band page, and gives you a http://listen.to/yourband link so that you can link directly to your rootmusic tab.
Ha, great! thumbs up for that tip
it's what myspace should have become all along.

My pleasure man, add me on Facebook yeah? I wanna talk to you about something more important to me than you 
I skipped Myspace because I wasn't making music when it was "in." Not to steer too far off topic, but nobody happens upon my Facebook or Bandcamp pages, so the aren't very useful to me, which is a polite way of saying I think they are a pain in the ass waste of time. For contrast, entries in my main (Wordpress-based) blog, Twitter, Soundcloud, and YouTube result in actual looks and reactions, so those get the most attention from me.
The way to do it, is to share your bandpage, on your personal wall. And people like me would share it again on my wall. My friends will look because they trust my taste in music, they "like" you, and even if they dont share you on their wall, it still says "This Girl likes chunter"
