http://www.myspace.com/iVirtua is our MySpace site, if you want to network with us. Our Public Relations Officer, Andy is in charge of that, and is managing it if you have any comments or suggestions about it.
We currently have about 11 members, up from 7 members earlier this morning (4AM my time, GMT +7/8 ). What we need is for our forum members to become friends with iVirtua on MySpace.
If each of you creates a personal MySpace, and adds other people, iVirtua will have a wide network. Eventually it will be others adding us, instead of vice versa (i've added all our current friends). The more friends we have, the better we will look, the more people will want to be friends. We do cater for a rather niche market, so this will take some time to gather momentum.
It's much easier if we can work as a team on this. For example, let us assume that the person managing the iVirtua space (i.e. me) is Person A, and Person B is a friend from iVirtua with another account. Both can browse through certain groups (e.g. Entrepreneur, Technology) adding certain friends. Person A will then be able to add friends from Person B and vice versa. This will speed up the process of finding and adding people, and hopefully aid us in meeting our target.
I know that many of you think that MySpace is crap. I agree. But it's really good if you are a company (or, in many cases, a porn star ) that is looking for business. Take AboutBlank Media, which is a forum member - bhercules, for instance. AboutBlank has several hundred friends. I do acknowledge that they are somewhat more appealing to the average person than iVirtua, but that is still an example of how good it could get.
Andy is doing a great job over at MySpace, and it should have some great effects with marketing; and should bring in some members too; if you have any questions or comments, express them here; Im sure andy will appreciate them
