If I were to advertise to me, I'd definitely get involved in Facebook. I use Myspace, but not as much as Facebook. As an advertiser, I would create a fan page for whatever brand or product I represented and then made it engaging so that my target audience would want to visit it often and become involved. The best way to get college students like myself involved is to offer some freebie or incentive. That is why I am addicted to iTunes. Every week they offer a new song and music video, as well as an occassional free TV episode. So if I was advertising for a television show or music group, I'd make sure to offer free songs or episodes on iTunes to get people interested and try to get them addicted so that they actually purchase the next time.
