My Space for business???

I admit, I don't have a my space page. I guess I always figured it was for dirty old men, guys & gals looking to cheat on their spouses and college kids. I guess it just never appealed to me, BTDT when I was like 21 years old so I figured a married professional with a child would not be my space's "target audience". Chat Icon.

The thing is, someone suggested I utilize my space as a business tool. I am confused by this. They suggested I set up a my space page for my business. He said I would get TONS of business from it. Who has done this? Granted this person was an attorney (a male attorney) who was a little sleezy and I meet him at a morning networking meeting today. I told him I would think about it and he was really being pushy about it. As if he owned my space or something. The skeptical New Yorker in me was like "yeah right, sleezebag Chat Icon " (on the inside) on the outside I said :" thanks for the info Chat Icon ".

So what are your thoughts?

A) Sleezebag attorney trying to pick up a married woman (me) at a networking event?

or

B) My Space is actually a smart way to market your business?
