While it might have been worth the time and effort a couple years ago, there’s no point anymore. People have moved on. I always get a chuckle when I visit a band page with 3000+ “friends” and no comments in the past month.

Mysace is dead it seems, at least judging by the number of comments this post has drawn. I came here from the online – only promotion post, and though this one here seems rather dead I want to add my quota. I don´t believe automatic approach has or gives you any advantage. From what I read here, you´d be adding only bands who are eager to add as many friends as possible, no matter who or how. They wont look at yout profile, they wont give you a play. The´ll just add anyone automatically and the only profile they´ll be looking at is their own, to see the numbers growing. Haphazard adding may result in some small percentage of real visitors and plays, and a small percentage of them may even buy. And a small percentage of 10 000 is more that a small percentage of 1000, agreed. But I think it´s a waste of time and effort. 10 friends, who you added because they seem to have the “right” taste in music, or who added you because they really liked you or your music are worth a lot more that 10 000 friends who don´t care a bit. The only ones who profit are the companies selling the software (see post above, advertisment for a friendadder system).

I’m releasing a new record in the next few months and I certainly don’t want to be at a disadvantage to others who are automating their approach.

Yet another reason why the number of MySpace friends is a poor measure to gauge an artist’s popularity or marketability (music execs, take note please! )

Good post. I feel like this is something that often flies under the radar. I’m not going to lie I’ve “experimented” with several myspace friend adders in the past, but as of late have gone for the au natural approach. I’m releasing a new record in the next few months and I certainly don’t want to be at a disadvantage to others who are automating their approach. I don’t know. It’s a tough call. Thanks for the interesting post.
