I have returned to this music blog – I have been neglecting it an many of my other sites.  I follow the music industry quite closely – ans have fo a while.  So I have decided to relite this and other site to post issues that interest me in the online music scene.

I built this site more as a device and a test bed, but now that it has been index well in the music space, I have decided to do a redesign and change things around.

Stay tuned – I know people still visit this site. Time to start the fire.

Aspiring Emcees and CEOs – The Next Wave in Social Networking Is Here

New York, NY (November 1, 2007) – There’s been a deluge of MySpace wannabe’s that have come and gone in the last two years. While the names aren’t really worth mentioning here, their legacy is. It’s through their failures that a new kind of industry has emerged – API.

Flux.com, a transferable social network from MTV, and Google’s OpenSocial are both built around the idea of mobility and inter-accessibility. Without delving too much into the technical points here, as that’s not my expertise, this technology will definitely be an important part of social networking in the future. In brief, Flux “is a type of social network that allows users to create a universal profile across any website – MTV or otherwise – that has social-networking tools.” OpenSocial is “a set of common APIs that application developers can use to create applications that work on any social networks (called “hosts”) that choose to participate.”

These will be likely prove to be crucial tools for keeping people connected. In the case of artists, having the same information in the same format across multiple platforms creates identity and will help in refining searches.

“There is a revolution happening on the Internet that is alive and building momentum with each passing tag”

Something I have been looking to articulate to people in my job quest that has come from directly from my recent conceptual leap in seeing the possible future how people interact with the web. Ellyssa Kroski offers a well researched and brilliant piece on her blog InfoTangle. In this piece she really hits the high points of the projected next big web thing refereed to as Web 2.0. There are many out there describing this possible future, but in my book Ellyssa hits the nail square on the head.
