Online Music Marketing with Jay Moonah

I thought this was really interesting. I believe it bodes well for those who are experimenting with virtual worlds as a means of building relationships with fans today:

By pure coincidence, two quite different interviews with yours truly were posted on popular blogs today.

The first was by Network2.tv founder Jeff Pulver. Jeff and I hung out a bit last week during Canadian Music Week, and he asked me about my entry into his "How To Watch Internet TV" contest.

The second was by Sara Scurfield for the Association of Internet Marketing & Sales (AIMS) Canada blog. Sara and I spoke about band/brand marketing in Second Life, part of the lead up to my AIMS presentation next week the always awesome C.C. Chapman.

First a quick note about PodCamp Toronto which happened this weekend -- it was AMAZING! As one of the event organizers, I want to thank everyone who came out to the event. The community driven nature of PodCamp means that in a best case situation, everyone present contributes to the success of the event, and I can say honestly that this was one of those best case scenarios.

I wanted to include one of the sessions from PodCamp in the OMM feed. I was thrilled to do a presentation with Bryan Person, one of the orignal PodCamp organziers, about Second Life. I've talked a fair bit about SL on the podcast before, and while what's here isn't strictly music related I think it's good information. It's also an excuse for me to publish my first-ever video podcast episode, so we'll see how well that works out!

Thanks to the fine folks at Ryerson University, video from all of the sessions are availible for download on the PodCamp Toronto schedule page at:
