Yeah, I had to take a little sabbatical from jamaicans.com, plus I have a lot of work going on at the moment.

BLACK VERSION OF MYSPACE TO LAUNCH NOV. 1: Crackspace.com to premiere with unreleased material from Ludacris, Diddy and more.
October 17, 2006
*A new multi-service Web site catering to the “urban audience” will soon be upon us offering young users a place to get their MySpace, YouTube and download on – all in one environment.

Crackspace.com, from media/label impresario Chuck Wilson, will launch on Nov. 1 with previously-unseen songs, remixes and videos from artists such as Ludacris, T.I., Diddy, Akon, Ghostface, Lloyd Banks, Hi-Tek, Jim Jones and Foxy Brown.

Additional site features include news, gossip, a YouTube-like video uploading and sharing component, a download store and a MySpace-inspired web community where users can upload and sell their own songs, videos, ringtones and wallpaper.

Wilson, who created Crackspace through his newly-formed Triumph Media Holdings, says he saw a need for a social networking and music/video site that catered to the urban community.

"The market need for a technologically advanced urban Web site could not be more urgent," says Wilson, a screenwriter who counts among his credits “Soul Plane.” "MySpace is great but it doesn't even come close to fully satisfying the hip-hop generation. CrackSpace was created by and for that generation. This is a place for anyone who loves the culture. We have to be very much in touch with the places where kids experience urban music and culture and really set the table for when the majority of sales are online. That's really what this is all about."

Re: MySpace - what's the purpose of it?

I created a myspace account awhile back because I had to in order to comment on a blog posting a friend (I mean a real life friend) made there. I don't do very much with it but it is still there. I have made it private (viewable only by "friends").

I have created two myspaces for bands though, and there it does shine. Both bands have separate web sites, but myspace is an easy way to reach people that like the music and their friends. The show dates remind people that shows are coming up, the videos and music clips keep interest high, the blogs are handy for posting setlists and reviews and such.
