That I can answer. I care about My Space because I've found some awesome music on there, promoted shows I've played that actually led to people coming to them, gotten my music heard by people in distant countries who never would have otherwise, found a label that put out our latest album, gotten a paying $200 dj gig from somebody in Olympia who didn't know how to get hold of me, and stayed in touch with people who don't respond to regular e-mails for whatever reason.
To me, My Space is the true information freeway we always heard the internet would be. It's very useful for what it's for, you just don't want to use it for aesthetic pleasures anymore than you would your typical 4 laner at rush hour IRL. There are many things about it that are lame, but the usefullness far outweighs them.
