Final Reflections: MySpace

MySpace Webpage:

www.myspace.com/boyinterrupted430

The webpage is successful as it...

• ...is clean and structured with simple navigation (no silly cursors)
• ...gives music previews , which instantly plays the debut single and makes it recognisable to the artist.
• ...has a profile picture with links to future exclusive pictures and videos of the artist and his lifestyle and personality.
• there is a contacting section, where members of myspace can add the band as a friend, send them a messsage, rank them, add them to a group, etc. This is an exmple of band and consumer interaction.
• a general info. function, gives details such as -influences which give the audience a greater understanding of his lifestyle and identity.
• there are other artists as friends such as 'Lock up the Youth' who are generic and have similr tastes. This will maxmise the target audience reach of our MySpace webpage.
• the use of small trajectories give some depth to the webpage to give further detail and the more intense fans a greater level of artist understanding.

I would definately visit this webpage if i liked this genre of music or if i had heard much publicity regarding this new artist! I think the maturity of the webpage makes it more accessible to a larger audience reach, in which this debuting song would attract.
