Myspace had (and maybe still has?) such potential but it turned into a giant flea market of folks trying to push their wares. The ad you got is, sadly, par for the course. In some ways, Twitter suffers some of the same issues. I'm constantly followed by "social media marketing experts" (seriously, how many "experts" can there be on any subject!) who are just hoping to push their website or products on me. They are welcomed to read my guitar geek posts but I, of course, never follow them in return. Perhaps more companies are desperate for revenue but I'm surprised to see a few big companies sell/rent their opt-in email lists entirely to partners or products who are hoping for a quick sell/marketing push. Seems like they're abusing the very fans that they should be protecting and cherishing. Ditto. … well put!

It always amazes me how spammers seem to think their tactics are successful. Especially since we are all so much more "savvy" than say 10-15 years ago. Perhaps in the next 10-15 years SPAM will go away altogether as we finally see the second and third "tech" generations come of age. Best of luck with your music! Well said.
