I swear I've seen this before
I knew that I saw something like this before and after a few minutes I remembered that it was on an episode of Dead Like Me, except these things were actually killing people. Infomercialscams is a great site by the way. But I gotta wonder about people who don’t already know that most infomercials are scams–can they really be reached?

Dynamic duo, originally uploaded by ekai. My friends (Irina and Eddie) and fellow Podtech people went to see the original K.I.T.T. car from Knight Rider that is for sale now.

I’m NOT saying that you shouldn’t use MySpace at all—it’s a great tool for promotion—that’s not really in despute. I use it myself. But what I’m saying is DON’T make it the ONLY place on the web where your band can be found. Here are some reasons not to and my next post will be what I think is a much better strategy for promoting...
