Today NetTuts listed Paramore.net as one of the best designed music websites. It was also great to see a fan recommend the 3OH!3 website. Congrats to Amy Stein who designed both of those sites, as well as my team at Atlantic and the web team at WMG.

Fast Company, MTV, WMG and Atlantic
Wednesday, June 30th, 2010This week Atlantic and Warner Music Group were the subject of a great article in Fast Company, as well as a pretty major announcement regarding our new ad partnership with MTV.

Atlantic Participates in Adobe’s Flash 10.1 Mobile Launch
Wednesday, June 23rd, 2010Today Atlantic launched our first round of mobile websites in conjunction with our partners at Adobe. We launched 8 artist’s sites targeting Android 2.2 and Flash 10.1, with iPhone and iPod Touch coming later this month. This is a launch we were very proud to be a part of, and a project will be iterating on in weeks to come.
I’ll be posting more infomation on our new sites in the next few weeks, everything from getting started in mobile web development to Flash 10.1 specific issues.
Special thanks to Mike Mignano and Rob Beatty on my team at Atlantic Records for their continued help on this project.
Check out the press release here.
Check out my quote below:
“Flash gives us another great avenue to deliver music and videos to our fans on mobile devices, and beyond. Scale is key for us and Adobe Flash Player 10.1 allows us to create a great mobile experience, using content we already have, and familiar tools. We have already optimized some of our most popular artists’ websites for Flash 10.1 and are working to deliver new ones each week.”

My Pic In Billboard Magazine
Saturday, May 22nd, 2010A picture of the panel I was on at NARM 2010 showed up in Billboard Magazine this week. I’ve been interviewed by Billboard before but have never seen my picture in print without knowing about it beforehand.

Talking about the iPad with Alternative Press
Monday, April 12th, 2010Check out my thoughts on how the iPad may effect the music industry at AltPress.com. Looks like I made the cut and was quoted a few times talking about the device. The interview was purely conceptual as none of us had seen the actual hardware, but I think everything we said holds up well post-launch.

Saturday, March 20th, 2010Yesterday 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.
