MySpace musicians, in all their gleeful enthusiasm, are sometimes so eager to get the word out that they'll post bulletin after bulletin, hoping someone will take notice. Sometimes they use their bulletin posts not for promoting themselves, but for other causes they believe in.
This does indeed get them noticed, but for all the wrong reasons. Every MySpacer has a short bulletin window that appears in their home control panel. When any one "friend" sucks up all or most of that real estate with incessant posting, it becomes irritating. More than 3 posts a day and you are officially obnoxious. Even if you're posting about world peace.
Being a pushy poster is one of the fastest ways to get yourself kicked off your friends' lists. Too many posts coupled with posts-about-nothing and/or misleading headlines, and you become irrelvant. People just start ignoring you. They figure you've tricked them too many times into clicking on your bulletin headlines, only to find you posted something lame.
So, make your bulletin posts count. Use them for news and interesting tidbits, as a way to communicate with fans and find out what's happening with them. Otherwise, you may find you are turning "off" your fans instead of turning them on to your music.

Hi Fran,
I wanted to email you this but couldn't find any information. I can see you are passionate about promoting musicians & DJs and was wondering if you would have a few spare moments to review a new feature of Lazy Records. The Lazy Network is a new social space that allows musicians, DJs and promoters to sign up (free) and interact with each other.
http://Network.LazyRecords.co.uk is the web address.
Users can upload their tracks, videos & pictures and allow other users to rate them or leave comments either on their profile page or the individual file page.
It's basically myspace, but 100% geared towards the musician looking to promote themselves.
Many thanks for your time.
