Does anyone out there still use MySpace?  It has slowly been fading into oblivion, but it did have one thing going for it, until recently.  Most independent artists have a MySpace page, as it allows you to showcase songs, live videos, as well as photos etc. but Facebook has been the place where you take your band’s online community to get people interacting and talking about your group.  Now it seems as though Facebook will completely erase MySpace from the universe with the introduction of BandPage.  It looks, feels and even smells like MySpace’s artist pages, the only difference is you can’t input coding to really customize the look and feel as much as maybe some users would like.  It just goes to show that the biggest, baddest websites will beat up on the little guys until there is no more beating to be done.  It will be better for artists, as they will be able to both promote community as well as their music in one location, as opposed to having to use both formats.  A good move by Facebook, too bad for MySpace.
