No, My Space

I finally canceled my Myspace account. Not for the trendy reason that Facebook is better, but because I don't want to spend the rest of my life logging into websites owned by millionaires who aren't me and don't invite me to parties.


I'll keep the Facebook page for a while because it has one or two useful features (like the Networked Blogs link that brought you here). It seems to be populated mostly by adults, and unlike Myspace it doesn't look like the cover of a 6th-grade girl's notebook. But my goal is to have anyone who gives a shit come here, so eventually I'll pull the trigger on that, too. 

The only reason I started any of these social-networking pages was to promote the comedy thing. There's this assumption out there that every artist, comedian, and band needs to have a huge online presence to help build a fan base. Bullshit. Fans are earned by performing live. All this networking stuff is just moving crumbs through the digital ant farm.
