Buzz makes it easy to share a little too much
I love the openness of Americans. It’s endearing, although it can mean listening to an extraordinary amount of information about someone for a first meeting.

Musicblogocide 2010: How Doing Right Can Come Off So Wrong
This past week has been an abomination in PR for Google, starting with privacy upheaval in terms of Google Buzz’s automatic stalking…err following feature that added people you frequently IM and email without consent.

Labels Taking Charge: Monitisation on Video Channels
Now that WMG music video content is back up on YouTube and with a whole new business proposition to boot, TMV thought it important to examine the new deal, the technology behind it and its implications for labels and advertising funded services.

Everyone is now well familiar with the story of Spiral Frog and how it buried the ad-supported download model. Reasons given for this are numerous, ranging from reports of blatant mismanagement to non-compatibility with iPods to consumer resistance to being force fed a 60 or 90 second commercial before the...
