Social networking with eventful.com!

Previously, I talked about using the power of social networking through social bookmarking to promote and market your band. This is essentially using the power of the people to spread the word about your band, music and any upcoming gigs. Sites like mister-wong, technorati, del.icio.us, digg and reddit are great ways to utilize free marketing! Nothing beats word of mouth advertising. myspace, facebook and youtube all gained popularity from the general public. The newest player in the social networking is a site - or rather a service called eventful
