Hopefully my recent experience on FaceBook will help others - I learnt by my mistake!! I thought it would be a great idea to invite Facebook friends etc. to an EVENT - an online advanced preview of my album.  I got some people who accepted that they would 'attend'.  Some also 'liked' my FB page and became fans. However, when it came to following up those attendees who were not fans, I had to respond to them individually.  It took me absolutely ages and FB only let me do 5, before informing me that I was becoming a FB nuisance!  I then had to log out, wait 30 mins, log in again and inform another 5.  I have been cursing myself for doing this - it has added days to my already tight schedule. The only quick and effective method on FB of informing everyone at the same time is if they become fans of your page.  Good Luck everyone! dee x That was a useful article - thanks!

Bebo - it's future is not sure yet as in April 2010, AOL announced it is planning to sell or shut down Bebo Mixi - 80% share of the social networking market in Japan Friendster - Over 90% of Friendster's traffic comes from Asia Hi5 - focuses in South America and Central America What about Foursquare? Has anyone used Foursquare for their band effectively?
