   In related news...

   In related news, several Middle Eastern countries announced today the discovery that women MAY not be responsible for all of man's baser instincts, the French say we should all try out this deoderant thing they've invented, and South Africa's ambassador to the UN was quoted as saying, "You guys should really give these black fellas a chance. They can dance like you wouldn't BELIEVE!"

   And in more related news...

   The Japanese announced something called a "transistor radio" and the Americans announced a follow-on to the Model-T, and the Vatican announced Galileo's rehabilitation. (Oh, wait, that last one's true!)

   Just like Second Life... it still baffles me why people care about Twitter.
   
   Spam you sign actively seek and sign up for... what a concept!

   Hmm. Someone apparently doesn't know how to use Twitter. The whole point is that you choose what to follow. If you think it's spam... um.. don't follow it? I don't get spammed at all via Twitter. I do get to communicate with family and friends though.

   Re:

   Give it a month: EMI will realize their mistake and start yanking videos, thus breaking their own blog.
   
   Then they'll sue themselves for sharing music videos on their blog.

   Twitter in 2015? Might as well be Blockbuster

   And hopefully by 2015, they'll come upon Twitter when it will be the instant messaging fad of five years prior as we look upon things like AIM today.

   Which is probably about 5 years before I will get into Twitter.

    Why does it matter if they have a Blog or not? A blog is out there for a party to get out ideas. Does the recording industry have any ideas it was unable to get out?
    
    I hate this "Omigod, why didn't they have a blog?" reaction, as if that is meaningful in any way. A blog is a tool, like anything else. You don't have a tool to have a tool, to have tool to accomplish a task you couldn't accomplish without the tool.

    Major label blog

    Good point - good reporting and analysis.
    
    I am minded of the story (true? Don't know) of Alexander Graham Bell leaving a free telephone at a prominent banker's office. When the banker's secretary told the banker what had happened, the banker threw the telephone in the trash.
    True or not, it is, in essence, what you are reporting.

    EMI

    This IS pretty unbelievable. It may be due, in part, to the fact that for these companies, the left hand doesn't know what the right hand is doing.
    
    EMI was one of the first to offer DRM-free music on the Apple site. I got a weekly newsletter from EMI with pictures and text concerning new releases. That newsletter, to this day, does NOT link to any online store, which would certainly increase sales.
    
    Ah, well.

    Major record label

    The term ‘label’ refers to the logo or a picture of a particular company or a brand.The major record labels in Hollywood are way ahead of the others as far as volume of sales is concerned and some are in this trade for several decades. Today their logo is just enough to capture the market of audio products within days of launch.
