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.

Online iPhone Mock-up Tool
Thursday, January 14th, 2010Lukas Mathis has created a really nice iPhone mockup tool in Flash. This web based tool lets you create wireframes for iPhone apps by dragging and dropping simple components onto a phone and sharing the url. You can create final pieces that look like either illustrations or sketches. A nice tool for simple mocks when a napkin just won’t do. Check it out here.
Simple iPhone voicemail backup
Saturday, January 2nd, 2010A great article from Strangely Dim on how to backup voicemail messages from the iPhone simply, with no additional apps, and no Jailbreaking.
1) Backup your phone in iTunes
2) Run a simple Terminal script (copy and paste)
3) Wait a few seconds and all of your voicemails are converted to .amr files. The one trick is giving the script a minute or so to run, I kept running it over and over without waiting for it to terminate on its own. Patience!
The script you need to run is here:
pushd ~/Library/Application\ Support/MobileSync/Backup ; \
for I in `find . -name *.mddata -exec grep -la “#\!AMR” {} +` ; \
do cp $I $OLDPWD/`basename -s mddata $I`amr ; \
done ; \
popd
And make sure to click through to Eric’s original article. Thanks for the hint!

They discuss his use of Fanbase Desktop, Fanbase Mobile for Flash Lite, and Fanbase for the iPhone as well as his continued use Twitter to communicate directly with his fans.
