15. #5 HOW TO USE MYSPACE IN
SOCIAL MEDIA MARKETING?

16. Organizations who are somehow related to music are in my opinion
free to use Myspace for marketing.
Because of it´s nature of communicativeness it could be a good
channel for companies to advertise there in communicative way.
Creating a own account for company could be a place where people
are able to share their thoughts about the company and connect with it
in innovative way, in Myspace`s style.
As accounts are totally customizable from head to the toe; cover
photos, connects and basically everything are changeable, can
companies create one account in their own unique style.
Companies could also have more rights for customization of profile.

ATTENTION!
