Blip. Twitter for music

It’s been over a year since I’ve been using Twitter, and I couldn’t be happier. It has become by far my favorite web startup, and my number 1 tool for PR.

Also, it became pretty big in the last few months, and a lot of similar startups have popped out here and there, but this [...]

Twitter-conomics (¿?)

Last month I found this by Mikey-San (via Daring Fireball).

An awesome comparison between the relationship from you and your followers on Twitter, and the very principles of world economics. My favorite part:

Given:

Following a person’s Twitter feed adds information to your stream. Gaining a follower sends information you produce to another person’s stream. We can elaborate: [...]

Ze is back! (kinda…)

My favorite (and only) show I religiously watch on the internet is back. Although it won’t be a daily show as it used to, “from time to time” is fine by me, I’m a big fan.

Here’s the link of Ze’s channel on Blip.

The music industry gets a shake…

…And quite sooner than I expected I must say. Since the beginning of this blog I’ve been complaining about my experience with the distribution of music and I was hoping that sooner or later artists would come to realize that the best way of getting their music was over the internet and giving it away [...]

Nine Inch Nails Open Source Remixes

There were over 200 “open source” remixes delivered to this fan website for Nine Inch Nails. Today I find out that a collection of 21 unofficial remixes is available for download via BitTorrent. There is actually a lot of good stuff there, it’s definitely worth of downloading.

I love it when you can find quality stuff [...]

Prosumers and the music biz [part3]

Two weeks ago I was talking with Rafael Jimenez (Yahoo! México) about the last 2 posts titled “prosumers and the music biz” and he had it very clear that it the industry has to change or die trying. We were not able to come to a clear idea about the path it should take, but [...]

Prosumers and the music biz [part 2]

I just wanted to point to the fact that I really DO believe in the power of the new media. I believe that leaking the album is in fact the best shot we have, and by far, I don’t mean it in a bad way, the internet is a very powerful tool and I [...]

Prosumers and the music biz

Recently we have finished the new album for Réplica. The process was long, it took almost 2 years to do it. The thing with record making these days (at least for a group of people with lots of dreams and no support whatsoever) is that you’ve got to have at least one “real” job and [...]

Short story about Dixo

In early 2005 I was working with my partner developing special radio shows fully sponsored by a brand. We intended to offer this as a new way of communicating with consumers, and started trying to sell this to Nokia here in Mexico. The obvious issue we found with this idea came when they tried to [...]

The joy of good

Google announced a couple of days ago a remarkable improve on Google Analytics and it’s interface, and it just got me thinking why would they make something like this? They already had the best online free service out there to measure websites. The answer: the will of making things well, or as I like to [...]
