Thanks PGO for your comments. So here we have it…Social Networking platforms, what the hell’s that!. It only takes a month to gather a nominal 500 people around the table in one network, do they know who I am, sure not, do they know what I do? Hell yeah…I’ve probably lost 100 persons on the way during that period but never mind, cause I attack soft taboos. 500 people who have an average of about 300 friends makes 150.000 virtual friends, who’s digging ? If I do this every month and with every new friend a friend is also going to have a friend in time, I’ll be reaching well over 2 million people every year. In reality I reach a lot more because I drop into Groups of various sizes, some with considerable impact. Multiply that with a few networks and you’ll be reaching more people directly then you can dream of or that a record company could pretend to seduce. Another mutiplying factor would be to work a little more closely within the Broadjam community which has a tendency to skid off and play the loner…industry sickness ?, frankly I don’t give a clue.
There is no time to waste folks, the path is wide open and it’s yours to take …Of course I’d appreciate if the Broadjam engineers could improve on Widgets, Thumnail rolls plus song URL captions…All the best to you all.
Hmmm…that would be really nice and a good start for me. Anyway, the winner will be annouced today and we’ll soon find out.

Max: great idea because it is an important topic. Broadcast radio as we knew it has become a narrow tunnel with limited rotation. CD sales have plummeted causing the music labels and publishers to lay off hundreds of employees. Karaoke DJ’s have made it possible for live venues to squeeze performers until there is little money being paid to independent artists.
One question might be how to best utilize the social networks to get one’s music into the ears of the public. Outlets such as Broadjam present digital venues whereby we can display and distribute our ware. But, we need to bring traffic to the table to increase our odds of making a sale or winning a contest. B’Jam can’t do it all by itself, we need to think in terms of networking.
Okay, my coffee is getting cold. Who’s next?
