Design Exercise 14

I am thinking about creating my second term artist project on my friends band. The only social networking sites that i am really familiar with are Facebook and You Tube, although i am also a member of myspace, which i have not looked at since 2008 and and also i am a member of twitter, which i signed up to last summer but never returned back until today.
Based on my project the best social network link would obviously be myspace because it is known worldwide as a place to store and display music, especially popular with up-and-coming or unsigned bands. The pros of this social network is that there music can easily be displayed to people all over the world, it also has an application with links to live gigs at various venues and ticket selling websites.
However the cons of this would be that myspace has dropped in popularity since the Facebook and Twitter boom of recent times. Which obviously equals a smaller audience looking at the material, although you do not have to be a member of myspace, or a friend of the account to access the material. Youtube would also be a good link to have on the website, because the band has video footage of live gigs and practice sets etc.
Facebook would be a very useful tool to have linked in too, because it has a large user base which is very good for spreading the word around, there is also a good invitation tool which gives information of gigs, who is attending, who is not attending, and who is awaiting a reply from.
