Micro Persuasion

We got the email last night, there has been an invasion. Turns out that ADULTS are taking over MySpace. Half of the users are over 35.

Know who else is taking over MySpace?

Writers. Not bloggers, but writers. Novelists, poets, memoirists. Of the 101 friends I have on MySpace, nine are books. I am friends with nine books and get more requests every week from books (and their writers).

I'm a friend of the Memoirist's Collective, which is where I started getting introduced to writers. Now, just like musicians and comics, writers are coming to MySpace to build book buzz and find publishers. This group of four memoirists has sponsored a range of contests and made it possible for the writing community to grow.

Who is taking over your version of MySpace? Who are you surprised to see popping up in your friend request inbox?
