6 Reasons Why Facebook Sucks

I ran across this blog post and it made me laugh.  (not out loud)

LINK: 6 Reasons Why I don’t like Facebook

I’ll add my own reasons for not liking Facebook below:

1.  It sucks as a platform to promote music.  When I send 20 or so friend requests, Facebook warns me that my behavior is suspicious and that my account could be blocked or deleted.  Talk about WAY too sensitive.  Do a search about this on Google, I’m not alone.

PREFACE: this post is targeted primarily at musicians/bands/producers/etc. 

We all know that the music business is in flux. Record labels are dying, physical CD sales have plummeted, nothing that used to work works any more, and we as independent artists have to keep adapting to have any chance to find some level of success. Yet, there are still tremendous opportunities at our fingertips. 

I have been thinking a lot lately about how much potential there is for us helping each other gain more exposure, traffic, hits and eventually, fans. Does this sound attractive to you? If so, read on. Now, these ideasI’m writing about aren’t exactly original or new – in fact I have read about them on the web. So the concepts already exist – but they usually fall flat in practice.
