it seems that doing business there basically involves risk management right? Not my cup of tea!

it's not just about then medium...first and foremost it's about the "product" that you begin with and with the story that goes along = change!

Brett's Internet Marketing Blog : I found a good new WEBSITE!

Brett, I think I have covered a lot of the aspects already - you can check http://dimitriosk.tumblr.com/post/78296761/bye-by... To answer your points: 1. No, they don't have every album recorded, nor will they in the foreseeable future. Yes, the catalogue is very good nevertheless! 2. Swedes & Scandinavians have a fascination with music. The government gives equipment (guitars etc) and a place to rehearse for FREE to aspiring bands 3. They have a premium version that is ad free (10 euros a month) or a free version with ads (2 spots every 30 mins & skyscraper ads on the browser). Labels like this, because the ads are more targeted! 4. I don't know why people have a fascination with recommendations, because currently the engines are bad, VERY bad. Especially the part where the engines make suggestions based on what other people are listening. Spotify uses the Allmusic.com engine for reviews / recommendations which is not that bad - thank god they didn't use last.fm!

Untitled : Adword Campaign - Victim of its own success?

Very interesting points raised. What is important then is to carve your own niche and have people follow you for the value you offer or your content. Car insurance is a commodity product offered by dozens of providers and the only differentiator is price - the lower, the better. Some of the biggest success stories out there have never advertised, which stresses the importance of having a killer product. Advertising average products simply doesn't work that well any more!

The main men behind the two bands Mike Patton (Fantômas) and Buzz Osbourne (The Melvins) are very close friends and the Melvins are signed to Patton's label, Ipecac Recordings. Buzz also plays the guitar for Fantômas! This is not a real band, in the sense that they do not record albums. They perform tracks from the Fantômas & Melvins discography - the track they are playing here is taken from Houdini, a Melvins album issued by Atlantic Records (i.e. Warner Music)!!!!! The 2 bands originally teamed up for a once in a lifetime performance on 31/12/1999, but have kept on playing together!

Seems you have a heck of a lot of impressions and you are placed very high, which is very good. 2 guesses: 1. You are targeting people not interested in what you are offering 2. You do not have a compelling, actionable proposition 3. Do you have ads in english or in portuguese??? Tweak keywords and ads. Play around. We did that with Utku for our campaign and we've noticed considerable increase in our CTR

Mon, 23 Feb 2009 16:08:37 +0000

For me the basic lesson is that people care about the banking services, but do not care about the medium by which they are delivered. And that's bad news for the incumbents

I've been on it for a couple of weeks, but I am not very convinced of its value..once you start following people who update a lot (4-5 times a day) it gets a bit tiring to be honest

Week 1 : BitTorrent networks - a serious threat to traditional TV broadcasters?

Sat, 21 Feb 2009 17:25:32 +0000

Judging from my experience with streaming music platforms and the recent trends in the film industry (http://dimitriosk.tumblr.com/) I must say that the the future is direct broadband streaming on a pay per view or a monthly subscription basis. Bittorrent is great, but the problem is that you have to wait quite a bit until the torrent has downloaded and it takes up a lot of disk drive space, usually over 500MB!

I am by no means a safety expert, but: the software is really small in size and I've been using it for a week now without any problems - there are 21k fans on facebook by the way!

mate, you sent the wrong link: the story is that they are no longer allowed to have Metallica etc etc..It also seems that the majors do not allow equal access to CD collections to some countries - I am not sure why they would want to have collections, but anyways... I am guessing you are have not downloaded it...you are missing out!! the whole point of this service = user experience / navigation. Its superiority on this front is what makes it better than anything else out there...As far as the catalogue is concerned: they have a lot of work to do but it's already massive and don't forget that they are a startup!

Hey guys! Bill Hicks certainly needs no advertising, he is one of the most famous comedians and considered by his peers as one of the very best; in any case, he passed away 15 years ago! His style is very cynical (yet extremely funny) and I would suggest that you have a look at his material on youtube, especially "Relentless"!
