Re: You Tube and My Space

**T* A* <t*@growingedge.com>**

Growing Edge Magazine is using both YouTube and MySpace as promotion  
devices to get people to our web site.

The one thing with MySpace is you can't just accept anyone who asks  
to be your friend. Some (many???) are porn "friends" and unless you  
want them as friends, we deny and reject them. Some days there are  
more than others but I check everyone's MySpace page who asks to be a  
"friend." YouTube is more for promotion of video of which we have had  
only one. The one on YouTube is a short version (2 minutes of a ten  
minute video from our web site.)

I invite anyone on the garden writers forum to become Growing Edge's  
"friend."

YouTube:  http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ka4N6gGC3Cw

MySpace: http://profile.myspace.com/index.cfm? 
fuseaction=user.viewprofile&friendid=152487685

The same YouTube video is on MySpace TV:
http://vids.myspace.com/index.cfm? 
fuseaction=vids.channel&ChannelID=152487685

It gets more traffic to our web site, most of it younger, but still  
it is eyeballs that we want.
