Assignment 3-1: Weekly Writting Analysis


Is Myspace advertising beneficial to everyone?



MySpace is popular among people of different ages and ethnicities that is why many companies advertise on myspace in order to attract more customers and increase their profits but not only companies are advertising. Also you can see singers, bands of music and movies being promote on this website to catch the attention of people. Now, you can advertise yourself on myspace if you are looking for a job. Also, you can create an account and attach your resume so employers can see it. This is a very new tool that myspace is offering at no cost, but I am wondering if advertising on myspace is beneficial for companies.

According to KC Morgan (2007) a member of the genuine article literally, “advertising on MySpace is a great way to let people know that you are out there, and it gives something for people to refer to. A lot of people now include their MySpace pages on their business cards. It’s a highly popular site, everyone knows about it, and it’s the “in thing.” No advertise on MySpace is to hold yourself back” (para. 3).

Moreover, Peyta Paxon (2002) said, “the internet will likely prove to be another important medium for companies as more and more households go online” (p. 110). Lately, I have seen many advertizing showing up on my computer screen when I am using myspace and It is becoming irritating because it shows up many times Also, Leonore Skenazy (2003) said, “ advertisers are sticking ads everywhere” (p.390). Finally, I believe that advertising on myspace is a great idea for any kind of business, but the overuse of ads on myspace will make people not to use it anymore.
