hmm, I did a search and nothing had popped up that had already existed..

I originally did a search under computers with the mindset of "Program" in mind.

Seems there a total of 3 groups, maybe redirect to the group with the most numbers or start a local Ableton chapter, sounds like a kinda cool idea -

good looking out -

The search engine on myspace.com is absolute garbage.

hey guys, out of interest what are the benefits to that, or the difference between that and this forum??

I couldn't see much, and one of the things that works here is it's all in one place..

Myspace is so convoluted and messy, i dont ever want to visit anything on there again!

I have a myspace account, but to tell the truth I think myspace sucks. Not cause I'm "too cool" or something, but it just sucks. It's a technical nightmare, half the time I cann't log in or I get page errors - and sometimes it even kills my router somehow. It only happens on myspace, suddenly a page wont load, with the status bar hanging. So I close the window and open a new one and I can't get anything to load. Go over to the iMac, same deal. I reset my router and everything works fine. And I know it is myspace because I will go back and do the same thing again to test and sure enough. Again, the only time I ever experience this is on myspace.

Sometimes after going to myspace my net connection runs really slow, again - reset my router and everything is fine.

Then there is bad code in some of the music players on peoples pages that will hang safari causing me to force quit. myspace is just a bad experience.

And, in my opinion there is absolutely no advantage to the myspace group over this forum, it's just something for people to do I suppose.

The groups suck in general, for example, I joined "techno purists" which is anything but. Trance mixes, 16 year old cheerleaders that wouldn't know techno is if they got hit in the grill with a techno record.

I have like 86 freinds, lots of people from all over who look pretty cool, but I wouldn't really know because I don't really talk to them. It can be a cool networking tool I suppose, but I don;t spend enough time with it to know.

Some people are addicted to it though, like my wife. With her I can understand, she actually re-connected with a bunch of old friends using it.

Different strokes.

They wrote a massive viral enterprise scale system....

On Cold Fusion, a "programming" language designed for people that know
nothing about coding or bosses who think they can write their own intranet.

Now they spend all their time patching up corruptions in the database and
failures in the code.

u'd think they'd spend $50-150k and get it rewritten in something that can
actually scale and take the volume.

Didn't Rupert Murdoch just buy MySpace for ungodly sums of money?! 500 million wasn't it?

You'd think they'd fix their crap site. The idea is interesting, but the implementation leaves something to be desired.

Though, and then again, I'm with Smutek. Had an account for ages, but I just don't "get it" I guess.

porn.

It sucks, but it makes it easy to share stuff with friends out of town.

Until I get a website...

well, i got 2 remixes through myspace (paid stuff).
a friend of mine got a couple of gigs, and best of all, another friend is about to sign a record deal with a former underworld member.

if that's not a good networking tool, then i don't get it.

plus it enables ppl like me who spend most of their days at home in front of a computer to keep a social link with fellow producers.

that's the kind of answer I was after! I know nothing about it but you've just given it a few decent merit points!

Is your friend signed to underwater??

well, i guess it's a matter of entering the appropriate network.
if you're into hard tech, and all your "friends" are into drum'n'bass, i guess you won't get much from myspace.

yeah, my friend is about to sign something with underwater, and he's had another proposal from a smaller label. but then, his stuff is really good, he deserves it.
