I mentioned previously that I’ll undoubtedly be posting a lot about MySpace. Has anyone else seen people that are carrying Myspace cards? This is like a business card but designed specifically to promote a MySpace profile.

A friend of ours has MySpace cards, in addition to the over 5,000 friends he has. He is essentially a MySpace celebrity and gets recognized, in real life, from his profile.

This is interesting on a couple of levels for me, the first and most obvious being how important a MySpace profile has apparently become. Secondly it shows that we are living in a time where people are so accustomed to being marketed to that they are naturals at marketing themselves. Isn’t that pretty much what a MySpace profile is? A way to market yourself online?

If self promotion becomes natural will it translate to people becoming really good at job interviews? At getting out of traffic tickets? At talking their way out of cheating on their wives?
