I plan on ignoring both places for as long as possible. That might turn out to be forever.
What I've repeatedly been told about MySpace (moreso than Facebook, but that could be the sources) is that on MySpace you make contact with readers. It's a different paradigm because many of these readers are not also writers, so their interest is more focused.
I admit that putting up bits and pieces of what amounts to self-promotion in LJ strikes me as not at all conducive to conversation and discussion, but I get the sense -- and I could be wrong -- that that's almost the point of MySpace; short bytes of information about current works, sales, book-related news.
Although with my total lack of HTML knowledge, I'm not sure that it wouldn't be much harder.
