Despite Troubles, Poll Shows MySpace Still Important To Social Music

Despite these troubles, as of Wednesday morning almost 78% of Hypebot readers responding to an ongoing poll say that MySpace is still an essential part of their music social networking efforts. 26.2% say that MySpace still "rules music" and 51.6% say that using MySpace alongsaide Facebook and other sites is "essential". (Updated results may vary slightly.)
