In an email sent out today to all users of OnlineComics.net, they announced the start of a new venture named ComicSpace.
I'm mailing all comic creators in the OnlineComics.net database to let them know about a new site I've started called ComicSpace.com. As the name implied, it's a lot like MySpace, but with the added benefit of being focused entirely on comics. Within a week or two, comic creators will even be able to host their comics on ComicSpace. Even if you're happy with your current hosting situation, you can use ComicSpace as a promotional and networking tool.
While OnlineComics.net is dedicated to providing notifications of updates (as well as some community functions), the features of ComicSpace (besides hosting) are not outlined on the webpage or in the email sent out.

I dunno. Without all of the chavs, strippers promoting themselves, and sexual predators, I can't see them successfully copying the MySpace model.
God bless though. I may even set one up myself.
Topless photos
Yeah, it just doesn't seem right to post photos of ourselves topless without an audience of congressman.
But we can still use it to plan Satanic crime sprees to get back at our parents, of course. I'm planning mine at http://www.comicspace.com/ericm/

IN THEORY communism worked
To me, the advantage of MySpace is it's tremendously huge community, not it's marginal tools. While the ideas here are noble, ComicSpace may attract no more than webcomics existing audience, and therefore, merely preach to the choir.
But I think it's a worthwhile idea, and will sign up for surz.
Also: is that the first mention of you joining a certain new webcomics collective Eric? Good on ya.

first mention?

Dammit Tim, nobody asked you!
Well, Tim.
Well, Tim.
As you know, I'm old and forgetful, and well on my way to becoming Welton Colbert's sidekick, but I think the networking thing seems to be working because I got a huge pile of "friends" now that I haven't gotten the foggiest clue who they are.
BUT~ I really don't know what the hell else to do with the page aside from leaving it as some sort of online resume/ potfolio.
I've never used myspace
I've never used myspace before and at first wasn't going to sign up...then curiousity got the best of me...
It seems like an interesting idea. I wonder how the comic hosting will go.

Communism - Sharing is FUN, Tim!
Geez, didn't kindergarten teach you anything?
I might just give this a try. Looks interesting enough, and it could be fun.
Don't hesitate to procrastinate.

Shutting up now.
Wow, there's already an impressive number of users on this thing for a day. Is it possible that I was... wrong?! Naw, just less correct than usual. Yeah, that's the ticket.

Aroo?
If it'll let me get into contact with new artists, I'm all for it. Now I am just waiting for the new functions to come in.
Oh, and http://www.comicspace.com/hpkomic/
So far, so good.
Went and joined today, and wow - there's a huge turnout already. This thing might really be something big. I like.
Don't hesitate to procrastinate.
I only signed up yesterday
I'm suspecting that for some people, they're just trying to build up an audience. This is almost like a science experiment! What do you get when you put a bunch of webcartoonists into a myspace-like network? :)

I haven't gotten too many
I haven't gotten too many total strangers wanting to be my friend. I've been choosy about who I ask. Which oddly enough includes most everyone in this thread.
As it is I'm going to use the friends list as an online set of bookmarks. If people keep it updated I'll use for more than that. Hopefully Josh will add more stuff.
