Questions about myspace

One of the patients at work has a myspace blog that got hacked yesterday and deleted. My boss, who also does myspace, says this is pretty common -- hacking to either post porn to a respectable site or to just delete stuff

Accounts getting hacked on MySpace does seem fairly common, but I think the number of hacked accounts on MySpace is higher simply because there's a vastly larger number of users. I don't know if the percentage of hacks is any higher. And I suspect most of it does have to do with easy to guess passwords.

2,000 friends is a lot for someone who isn't famous. That doesn't necessarily equate to "popular".

I think MySpace is worth doing as a marketing thing, particularly if you're not going to have an actual website. a lot of musicians these days use MySpace...check out some musicians pages for an example of how to use it as a marketing tool.

You can also check out my improv troupe's page (www.myspace.com/ctta, I think it is). I don't know if we're a good model of a publicity page, but you get to see me on film...

i've never been hacked and don't know anyone who has.

what exactly is your purpose for myspace? personal? professional? if professional, here is a business myspace: myspace.com/twotreedesigns.
