MySpace




This is the website that links you to the MySpace website:


http://www.myspace.com/

MySpace has become a very popular communicating website, where people of all ages, predominantly teenagers, are invited to set up their own profiles and personalise them, making them open to the rest of the public for viewing and adding. All profiles are given their own individual URL, allowing non-MySpace members the chance to view a friend’s profile.

When using MySpace, you are able to go on the profiles of your friends, and leave them comments – an easy and straight forward way of interacting with people of your own age or with people you know.

The site also provides a range of different activities for one to do, for example, read books and blogs, check out your horoscopes, watch clips from movies and also watch clips from music videos.

The website successfully distributes other media sources, by having various advertisements flashing around the site, for example there are adverts on the site for ‘The Sun’ newspaper and for Orange. By doing this they are encouraging users to consume more media sources.

MySpace are using the internet as a wide base from which they distribute services to the public through adverts and through promotion from other media texts such as newspapers.

MySpace successfully offers audiences the chance to stay interactive with their friends, wherever they are in the world, through private messaging services and comments.
