MySpace
I'm now on MySpace, and, well, not to put too fine a point on it, I could do with some Friends. 'You have 0 Friends', that's what the message on my page says. So, if you're part of that community, and would like to link to my page, please do so. I'm at:

It says you have nine friends!
I've made a friend request (well three actually!) so you'll soon look almost popular! 8-)
Ta. Now I have to work out how to put a link there to this blog, because I only want to blog here.
Good grief you went from no friends to 89 in the space of a day!
8-)
I feel better now.
Well I just went to add you as a fiend (tm) you're up to 103 now.
As to blogging here I use blogger so I just put a link to my blog in the about me bit on myspace, and a quick explanation.
You're added, my friend.
you've only been on myspace three days, and you already have more than double my number of friends. that hardly makes you a loser.
I think we should start a pool on how quickly you reach the 300 mark.
Thanks to a bit of code Anne-Marie sent me, I'm going to put a link up from there to here. I'm planning to use MySpace in a kind of viral marketing way to announce big things. (But you'll also hear here.) This is what the phrase 'tireless self-promoter' means, isn't it?
A lot of the self promotion on myspace is "shameless" rather than tireless. Ha!
But it can be a handy networking tool. A lot of the bands on my friends list played at the International Pop Overthrow Festival in Liverpool in May and it was handy to already have some idea about the bands when I was flogging their CDs on the merchandise stall.
I have managed to reconnect with a few old friends through it too but I still prefer LiveJournal and Blogger for my online blogging needs though.
See ya!
Hi paul
I'm actually aiming to do the same thing - set up a MySpace account to publicise my writing. I'd be interested to hear how you're finding it.
I'd add you, Paul, but I'm not on myspace, so you'll have to imagine the count's gone up by another one :)
So, how did FAF go? I've waited a whole week for you to post about it, so that I could respond by telling you about the lovely day we had in Cardiff - but you force my hand, Cornell, you blackguard! We reckon we managed to cover most of the first series in our location hunting - we ate lunch at the "Boom Town" restaurant! I've (finally) bought my new winter coat in the shopping arcade the Autons attacked! We drove around the "Father's Day" church! (I was insistent that, y'know, since we had the car and all, we should follow the Repeating Path of Doom.) Couldn't persuade the local confused woman to take on the part of Pete Tyler, though. She'd earlier spent some time telling us all about the filming, and how that nice Doctor man kept running out of the church and lying in the middle of the road. She also told us more than we really wanted to know about the ex-vicar of the parish. Ew.
The MySpace experiment is a work in progress, I think. I sent out my first bulletin, but it'll only really rock when I have something interesting to announce. I aim to blog this weekend, by the way, and will mention FAF! It's interesting to hear about your Cardiff tour. I knew about the previous vicar!
Yes, but 13 people read your blog on Livejournal!
You know you want an LJ. You know you do. then you could read all my fascinating-but-friendslocked posts about new Who, Jack Davenport, occasional recipes, and haircuts.
How many blogs do you *have*? And how many do you think I should have? But okay, I will create a placemarker LJ blog today, entirely so I may share in that world. Just saw Pirates 2, and how hard does Jack Davenport have to try to not be the second lead? Soon Keira will be snogging him as well.
*lol*. Well, my blog is my blog--I've had that one the lontest (2001, I think? ish? I'd created it when logger.com first launched, and then didn't do much with it until Neil started doing the American Gods blog for HarperCollins, which reminded me I had one, and I posted to it steadily for abou 3 years, until my fannish life began migrating to my Livejournal, which is not a blog exactly.... More like, if blogging is like an amateur radio show you send out from your garage, then LJ is a bit like CB radio where you are in constant dialogue with other LJ folk, and you can continually switch frequencies, even narrowing it to only 1 person. And the addition of icons, voice posts, polls, and filters makes it really a whole new experience.
And I've friended you back, of course.
Cool. I've had such a big web day today.
yays! now we just need to work on Rob.
(plot elaborate schemes....)
Oooh - how do I see you blog via lj?
I'm very much an lj person only and can never remember to check anything else, but would be interested in keeping up with your blog.

I've just gone and made my only journal entry on LJ a link to this blog, so hopefully that'll be useful.

Excellent - thanks.

I'll sign you up when I get my new high-speed internet. You can read about my crappy life too. Wheeee!

That's the point of MySpace, I feel.
