I'm not sure if the myspace craze is well known to everyone here, but let me give you a rundown. Myspace is the social networking site owned by News Corporation and is currently the fifth most popular website in any language. Of particular relevance to us, is the myspace profile for musicians.
"MySpace profiles for musicians are different from normal profiles in that artists are allowed to upload up to five MP3 songs. The uploader must have rights to use the songs (e.g their own work, permission granted, etc). Unsigned musicians can use MySpace to post and sell music, which has proven popular among MySpace users."

As it is a networking site it is very easy to find musicians from millionaire rock stars to humble bedroom musicians, through the friends links.
I think it would be of great benefit for the carnatic community to make use of myspace to showcase not only to rasikas but also to the greater community the breadth of talent which exists in India and abroad. There seem to be many people within this group who have connections which would serve to be useful in setting up a comprehensive network of carnatic musicians.
Please tell me your thoughts, i would very much like to see this become a reality!
Thank you
