I wanted to come around just to ask. Who's prefering Myspace over Facebook? Some bands, yeah. Not a big audience for the effort, that has to be put in such a project to create a neat result.
Maybe you should check first, how many people are interested in a myspace app? Maybe a poll?
So, it would be more interesting to poll the (millions of?) users of MySpace, whether they thik it would be a good idea to have a "mobile MySpace-machine" that also does phone calls and other extra stuff.

*we* don't care about myspace. It's *great* that other people do. Hopefully someone with technical clue *will* care about it, so that those who want to use it, can.

Hmmm so the root of the problem is that maemo developers are a different group from musicians who want to promote their music. I guess that's not so surprising.

I would think myspace sucked to if my band only had 2700 profile views.

Chris, this is something along the lines of what I was thinking. Nokia has done a lovely job of integrating things with IM in the main OS so as a Dev I would think it sensible to simply extend the width on this for other environments. Telepathy has done this for IM and VOIP so maybe it's time to sort out the generic functionality for all social network interactions and make facebook/myspace/tumblr simply another protocol choice. I'm sure people use multiple sites so why not just tag contacts the same as you would email providers or telephony provider.
Thoughts from OP please?
If this is what people want then raise the Brainstorm so things can get started. If you want the solution the start the ball rolling by creating the brainstorm.

(Just checked, and I have had 1894 views since October 11th)
FYI, we've only been playing for 9 mos, and we don't really do anything with myspace. The fact that we have 2700 page views is higher than I thought, considering everyone we know uses facebook, and the only way anyone would even know about our myspace page would be by clicking the link on our website.
Let me know when your band comes through, I'll check it out.
Ask yourself this: You do many shows. How many people from Facebook show up? Can I listen to your music easily on Facebook? Can I see video of your last shows on Facebook? If I can, imagine if you'd used the #3 site globally that people use for finding and streaming music, or the #2 site people access to stream video? You followed the numbers of Facebook instead of sticking to your marketing tools, which no one else can match right now. You could be selling downloads of your tracks, marketing your gear, and gaining fans. MySpace isn't as popular as a social medium for everyone, but they expect all musicians to have a page. Name one that doesn't that has a major following.

I've gotten a response from the MySpace developers in the meantime about my wish, and they said they're open to working with our community and the Maemo platform, but I don't think they're rushing to get anything done. But I'll keep my fingers crossed. Haven't heard from them again yet.
It looks like exactly what Chris is doing (gathering some devs) here, but some people here are more prone to interfere with his efforts than to be helpful.

You only buy a N900 if you know how to use its full potential.

He could really help give us visibility to the mass market. When he said he used the N95, it was all over the web. I even wrote a piece:

He's now running his own branded social network called www.thisis50.com, and a univeral social network app would be super if he could port his site into it. I see big success enabling MySpace on the N900.

And I have a personal page I use to promote Maemo/Symbian as well as talk to my friends. My music team's pages are all artist related, and I'm the kind of producer that doesn't want to have a famous face outside of my hood, so I don't have my own music page anymore. But check me out here:
