Perhaps it’s an economizing measure, or maybe it’s a ploy to capture younger audiences, but restaurants are opting for Myspace.com pages instead of websites these days. A no-brainer, really. It’s free, you don’t need any fancy domain name or Web host, and restaurateurs can put it together themselves in a snap. Chefs and owners are pimping their pages with stuff they find. They’re indicating their mood, they’re accruing walls of friends, all the usual Myspace shenanigans. Here are a couple examples.

All fine and good, but we have a tip. A page should contain the address, phone number and hours of operation for the restaurant. That’s why people are googling you, not to listen to your song choices. Also, think about posting directions or a scan of your menu (with current prices).
