Re: [Consortium] food for thought

I agree with the sentiment of the link that you posted but I'm not going to close my myspace account. Here are three reasons. !: Access to more people interested in Music. 2: I already have plastered my page with links to my real website 3: Stay close to your friends and closer to your enemy... I would be happy for Fox to use my site and details because even if they misrepresented me it would probably give me more publicity and therefore result in new people looking at my site and possibly learning about Linux Audio. The likelihood is sooooooooooo slim that I have only thought about it a few times. However I expect that there are people out there who feel that any kind of self promotion is equivalent to public masturbation and would not want to have anything to do with myspace or any other promotional medium. I personally feel that we should be promoting on all available media as content saturation will eventually get to the masses and possibly sink in. Word of mouth is still the best way of advertising our core message (whatever that may be) but if we can get peoples attention through free sites like myspace then why not participate? For example. If it ever happens that there is a repetitive moronic ad on AFN which says the US army uses Linux to make their propaganda videos then I would laugh my a*** off...
