How teens use MySpace: "This seems to be a way MySpace changes peoples’ offline lives. It’s possible to develop a friendship with someone you met briefly at a pub/club. Phoning would be too much. But you might become friends with them through communicating on MySpace."

Interesting. I've used it only to connect to people I know, and folks 1 step away from them - friends-of-friends who are slightly trusted (though not too much, given some of my friends, eh ;)).

Also - it seems compulsory for bands to have a MySpace area, even if they have a web site...
