When I first started The Sunday Alternative, I set up a Myspace site for it. (Myspace always gave you a 'site' rather than a 'profile' or a 'page', as it started as a free website host for bands). The idea was to post live session tracks, photographs from the show, and only make the friends list up from bands who had appeared on the show. There would be no actual networking, the site was only there with one real purpose, to help with Google. It worked too, typing the show's title into Google brought up the whole of the all important first page. I also set up a page on Reverbnation, Soundcloud, Mixcloud, and a photo only profile on Flickr. My good intention of updating the whole set of sites soon wavered, but every now and again I would play catch up with it. Today I spent longer than necessary trying to upload tracks to Reverbnation and Myspace, but soon gave it up as a bad job as it is virtually impossible these days. Myspace is a pain in the arse to navigate now at the best of times, so my patience soon ran out and so I took the only course of action I could think of; I deleted the pages. The show no longer has a Myspace or Reverbnation presence, simply because they took the piss. As retro as it is, I aim to make more use of the page on Facebook, even though Facebook seems to be failing. There are (would you believe), some people without Twitter accounts, who only use Facebook. Honestly, it's like 2008 everyday for these poor fuckers.
