Views

Rich is impressed how the band Collective Soul is using social media to keep fans up-to-date on their new album, the recordings, the tour and more. They are even holding contests. Rich wonders what others are doing to promote their projects or themselves. Is video a good option? What are you doing? Email or call in your comments.

Blogs

In a recent post by Jerry Del Colliano on his blog, Inside Music Media, he says that he notices fewer students carrying iPods. He cites several examples and explains why they may not be using them like they did just a year or so ago. He also shows examples of how radio operators could learn from this generation and how they can come up with better ways to reach them.

Views

Rich expresses some views on why he thinks podcasting is “falling short” in meeting the needs of the listeners/subscribers. He comments that there must be better ways to deliver the media to the potential consumer.
