I play bass on my Funk/Rock band called "Improponibili" (myspace.com/improponibili). I found a site with a great idea to find gigs. The site is called SplitGigs (www.splitgigs.com) and I think is a great way to find gigs to play. Basically they propose the "SplitGig" concept. A SplitGig is an exchange of gigs. I let your band play at my gig, then you return the favor by letting my band play at your gig and the result is an extra gig for both. With my band we have done what they call "Splitgigs" with other bands and it worked great and I think that a social network dedicated to this concept would be a great thing for Independent bands like us.

For reputation management I do suggest creating profile names which differ from your company if the MySpace profile design you create doesn't fit your business professional appeal.
