My myspace profile has reappeared as mysteriously as it disappeared.

GO FIGURE!

Whatever, I’m just glad it’s back.

Not sure what happened, but Myspace just deleted a bunch of accounts - including mine.

I got a message earlier today saying I’d been phished (which I am VERY sure I hadn’t, I’m uber-careful!) and then about an hour ago, it’s gone.

I can still log in but I get a ton of error messages and I can’t do anything.  Also, when I go to my account’s public profile, it says “invalid ID”. I noticed that a lot of musicians’ accounts are gone, too - even musicians on the Myspace Top Artists List. Maybe they were targeting big profiles? :/

*sigh*

Very depressing.

This isn’t really cutting edge current news, as it happened last week, but I thought that it was an interesting commentary to point out about social networking.

For you marketers out there who poo-poo utilizing social networking or Web 2.0 sites as a viable traffic/visibility strategy, consider that -

- Newscorp bought Myspace for $585 million (amid industry speculation that the number was too low!)
- Google bought YouTube for 1.6 billion
- Now Microsoft has offered Facebook 6 billion…and they’ve turned it down!

Hmmmmm…think these big corporations might be seeing value where you’re not?

So, I’ve started a myspace profile for InternetMarketingChick.com - and I must say, I am having a BLAST!

I have already messaged with some very cool people and gotten some great feedback on the site (Hi, Richard! ).

The URL is http://www.myspace.com/InternetMarketingChick.

Add me as a friend, why don’tcha?

There’s an interesting question that’s been bandied about in forums, chat rooms, etc. for that last year or so, and without a truly satisfactory consensus. That question is…

What IS “Web 2.0″ anyway?

I’m certainly not going to be able to give a comprehensive answer to that question here today, but I AM going to post a VERY cool video done by Michael Wesch, Assistant Professor of Cultural Anthropology at Kansas State University, that I think is going to knock your SOCKS off.

It is fun, fast-paced, and (like I said) very cool. At the same time, though…it also kinda blew my mind and made me tear up a bit.

Watch it below and tell me what YOU think!

(here’s a little “viral marketing” tidbit about the power of YouTube, as well…that video has almost 3 million views!)
