Regarding bands and MySpace

I shall say this only once, or perhaps thrice:

Just because MySpace is irreconcilably popular, does not mean that you – a band – can cop out and present it in place of a proper web site.

Lisa Brown/Snowfight in the City Centre, I’m looking it you. It’s really annoying.

Unification of Disparate Services: ‘profile.xml’

February 1st, 2006 (2006-02-01T23:14:49-0800) 11 Comments

On trying to join up the internet: Every person’s website includes a file called �profile.xml� that describes public profiles and membership of other standalone webservices. It’s a very vague sketchy idea and I want to know if it’s worth pursuing. Is it really useful? Does it go some way to helping us towards Identity 2.0? Are there glaring architectural flaws that I’ve just missed?
