Why does Third Eye Blind have a presence on MySpace when they already have a normal website?
Third Eye Blind have had an official presence on MySpace since 2005. In spite of its obvious setbacks (clunkiness, eye-splitting designs, ownership by Rupert Murdoch, etc.), the site served a convenient, penetrative niche at the time for sharing real-time news, updates, and multimedia with fans. The band’s web presence has since been supplemented by an official Facebook page (and since then, by an interactive official website); however, all these various fronts of web content remain maintained online.
