Show #028 - MySpace, YourSpace…
It’s the trendiest, gaudiest, scariest, and down-right silliest thing to hit the Internet, and 3 out of every 4 people in America has one! It’s a MySpace Account; and while it can be a great marketing tool, MySpace can also be a HUGE waste of time. Is there really a method to the MySpace?
