I like the idea of using the MySpace as a signpost to lead people to the www.ronniletekro.com site.

My own little complaint is that it becomes a bit difficult to monitor so many outlets (website, forums, social networking sites)... And with MySpace, people regularly have their profiles hacked which leads to a lot of annoyances... Plus, unfortunately, MySpace _is_ malware friendly (my firewall becomes hyperactive whenever I visit!). It's fun but still... kindof a pain at times!

I would have no way to keep up with all my friends without myspace!

A new myspace presence has been made available. http://www.myspace.com/ronniletekro It's a no-feature placeholder page with a picture of Ronni (The same photo as the sleve of Kingdom of Norway, by Marit Hermstad). It also features a soundclip of Kingdom of Norway, and a link to www.ronniletekro.com. And before you start arguing about the lack of features on the page let me repeat the following: 1. myspace is all about getting friends to sign up as friends, and many does so for anything except to actually get in contact with the individual / band / organisation / artist. We may expand the features on the site some time in the future, but nothing that will take work away from rlt.com or other ongoing projects. 2. Ronni has stated before that his online presence is here. He isn't the most online person in the world, and anyone who has been following his schedule knows how busy he likes to keep himself. There is an administrative overhead in maintaining this list of friends, so making a placeholder page to point people to this site, with a musical sample seemed like a good compromise. To think that Ronni will actually sit down and maintain thousands of friends, well that is simply not going to happen. Not for the lack of care, but for the lack of skills and time... the latter being the prominent factor. So chalk up one to having some spare time this weekend at Toten. PeSt

VERY GOOD!!! thats all thats needed really.

if you decide to add friends and stuff in the future, i dont think its needed to reply to messages or anything, but posting news in the bulletin option is a good way to keep people alert. like a mass-mail to all the friends

Awesome!

That was a cool Myspace site Ronni! The best is to have a good home page like this Ronni have here! I think Myspace is like a
circus.... Just a bunch of "thanks for the add faces" Rock on Ronni!!!

circus, maybe but people have become celebrities just from being on myspace, so never underestimate the value of having a site there.

Oh it's definetely not just a circus and "thanks for the adds".

Thanks for this one PeSt. IMO you made the right decision in having one.

Oh well, I'll add him later...
