Open Screen Project

Tuesday, August 17th, 2010

This may have been up for a while, but it’s new to me. We’ve been working closely with Adobe for a few years on their multi-screen initiatives and are now officially a member of the Open Screen Project. Were listed among some pretty impressive partners and are glad to be part of the project.

In addition to this, we are part of a concept video on the OSP homepage. The first video in the carousel titled “Fun with Friends” includes a conceptual mockup of what our AIR Application Fanbase could look like in the future. It’s just a concept at this point, but is fun to see. The folks at Adobe did an amazing job putting this together.

NARM 2010 Mobile Applications Panel

Monday, May 17th, 2010

Today I was on an amazing panel at the 2010 NARM Convention discussing the use of applications in the music industry. While the focus was on mobile apps, we discussed desktop apps, widgets and the mobile web as well. The panel was moderated by Tom Constabile from Verizon Wireless and contained experts in design, development, and publishing. It was a great honor to be included in a healthy debate on an important part of the music business. I’ll be posting a link here once the video is online.

SXSW – The Future of Online Music Videos

Saturday, March 20th, 2010

Yesterday I spoke on a panel at SXSW titled The Future of Online Music Videos with Nick Stahl from Brightcove, Alexander Kisch from VEVO, John Sasso from SONY Music Entertainment, Inc and William Wilson from NARM. We discussed different delivery points for video online, from band’s direct to fan sites to large destinations like YouTube and Vevo, and how the right blend of these options can help build a band’s brand and drive revenue.

There is a new article on Adobe.com talking about the success of the Connected Car project by Alcatel-Lucent and QNX software. The article focuses on the development platform QNX has created for automobiles using Flash Lite, and mentions the success Atlantic had porting our Fanbase application to the platform. There is also a short quote by yours truly. A great project to be a part of and continued success to QNX.

New Apple iTunes App Store Layout

Friday, December 11th, 2009

Apple has slowly been pushing out updates to it’s app store today. Not all apps are benefiting yet from the new cleaned up interface, but our Rob Thomas Fanbase application was switched over a few hours ago. The layout has a lot more whitespace, larger download/buy button and multiple detail images of the application on screen at once. This update brings the app store visually more in line with new store look that was part of the iTunes 9 upgrade.

Check out the new layout.
