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.

According to their web site, Evernote is a service that “… allows you to easily capture information in any environment using whatever device or platform you find most convenient, and makes this information accessible and searchable at anytime, from anywhere.”
The Evernote service is available across many platforms. You can use the desktop client on Windows and Mac operating systems, on the web, and even on your mobile phone. Everything you put into Evernote synchronizes across all of your devices.
Rich has been trying it and is quite please so far.
