MYSPACE PAGE
I have done it. I have got myself a myspace page. A myspace page for the Touch This Press.

I have begun to notice more and more small publications appearing on myspace as a way of marketing and publicising themselves to a wider, more targeted audience. Fashion and music magazines in particular have a smaller, more personal D.I.Y version online. I was curious as to whether I could, and should do this for the Touch This Press; an virtual version of a fictionalised concrete version.
I had originally decided to build a website for the TTP, but decided in the end, that a myspace page would be in keeping with a very young press, that wishes to attract emerging artists, and will have a relatively youthful audience.
Having almost completed the page, I am wondering whether its associations with myspace devalues it and makes the press and entire project seem kitsch or cheesy, or whether it works as a space to promote the TTP’s artists?
I wish there was feedback available through this blog. I sometimes feel slightly isolated writing it, and find myself wondering whether anyone ever reads it, or has an opinion on any of my ideas.
