MySpace for marketing?

He was visiting family in the states and had booked a few small performances. On his way into the states from Canada, the border patrol noticed his equipment, looked him up on My Space (by name), and deported him back to France because he did not have an artist's visa!

The power of the internet - that marketing did the job too well for this artist!

This is why it is always wise to use aliases online. Keep your real-time identity separate from your online identities to slow down all that cross linking, where possible.
